Toilet – Going for a wee more often.



Thirsty – Non-stop thirst and drinking more than usual.



Tired – Feeling more tired and having less energy than usual.



Thinner – Unexplained weight loss.

🧒Tummy bugs can make your little one feel pretty miserable, but usually, you can care for your child at home, and they’ll recover within about a week.

💦 The biggest risk is dehydration, which is when the body loses too much water and salts and can’t perform its usual functions properly. This can be very serious.

➡️ Swipe for symptoms of dehydration in children.

- Keep offering breast milk or usual feeds for babies.

- Older babies and children give lots of small sips of water.

✔️ Most children feel better in a few days, but if it lasts longer, get in touch with your GP.

❓️ Did you spot the danger?

The answer: this little one is wearing a thick, puffy coat in their car seat.

It might seem harmless, but bulky coats can make car seats far less effective in a crash. That extra padding means the harness isn’t snug against your child’s body, even if it looks tight.

🔷️ Here’s a quick way to check if a coat is too bulky:

Step 1: Buckle your child into their car seat with their coat on and tighten the straps.

Step 2: Without loosening the straps, take your child out, remove the coat, and then buckle them back in.

If you can pinch the strap between your fingers, the coat is too thick to be worn safely.

Instead:
- Pop a blanket over them once they’re strapped in
- Or use a car seat-safe cover to keep them cosy and protected

✔️Please TAG a parent and SHARE to help spread this important safety tip. Let’s keep our little ones warm and safe this winter.

✨️Sparkler Safety Tip!

❗️Did you know sparklers can burn at up to 1,649°C? That’s hotter than some flames! They might look magical and be fun for little ones, but they can cause very serious burns if not handled carefully.

🔷️ Here’s a clever little hack for Bonfire Night

- Instead of letting little hands hold the metal stick, pop the end of the sparkler into a carrot!

🥕 The carrot doesn’t conduct heat
It’s easier for small hands to grip
And it keeps the sparkler further from their face and body

🪣 Keep a bucket of water or sand nearby for used sparklers.

❗️Always supervise closely - once it’s gone out, take it from them straight away.

✨️Stay safe and have a sparkling bonfire night from all of us at Daisy First Aid!
