Stopping smoking does wonders for your health & your pocket!🚭

Once you stop smoking your body starts to feel the benefits, after just 48 hours of being cigarette free your lungs will start clearing out mucus, and your sense of taste and smell will start improving.

Saving Money:
The average smoker has 13 ci******es a day, which works out as 364 ci******es a month. That's £141 a month and £1,696 a year that you could be saving by not smoking. If you're looking to quit this year there's lots of support available for you:

Introduction to Solid Foods 🥕

Are you confused as to where to start, and where to get your information and resources from? Here are a few tips to help get you started:

🍌 The current NHS guidelines is to start introducing solid foods to your baby at AROUND 6 months - they should be showing signs such as good hand eye co-ordination, stay in a sitting position with good head control and demonstrate swallowing food instead of spitting it out.

🥛Breast milk or First Infant Formula remains a primary source of nutrition during this period, and the amount a baby consumes will naturally decrease as they eat more solids. NHS guidance suggests that you should continue breastfeeding or giving first infant formula until your baby is at least 1 year old.

🥰 Waiting until around 6 months will give your baby more time to develop their skills, so they can enjoy solid food, they will be more able to feed themselves and enjoy the sensory experience.

🕸️ Spider Web Craft Sticks – Spooky Fun for Kids! 🕷️🎃

Looking for a simple Halloween activity that’s both fun and great for fine motor skills? Try making these adorable spider webs! Perfect as decorations too. 🧡🖤

You’ll need:
✨ Lolly sticks
✨ PVA glue
✨ Paints
✨ Yarn (black, white, or orange)
✨ Scissors
✨ Spider stickers (optional)

How to make them:

Glue 3 sticks together in the centre to make a ✨ star/asterisk shape.

Once dry, paint the sticks (white, black, or any spooky colour you like!).

Cut a long piece of yarn, tie one end to a stick, and start wrapping it around each stick to form a web.

When finished, tie off the end and leave a little tail of yarn so you can hang your web.

Add a spider sticker or mini pom-pom spider for the final creepy-crawly touch! 🕷️

👻 A fun, creative way to get into the Halloween spirit while letting little hands practise those skills!
