A child dies of choking every 5 days. It’s an awful statistic to read, isn’t it? My own daughter had a serious choking episode, and most parents will say they’ve at least had that moment of panic. Are they choking? Gagging? Do I need to intervene?

One of the biggest pieces of feedback I’ve had about my classes is they stop the PANIC. Parents come away feeling confident and at ease, knowing they can correctly identify when they need to intervene, and the exact moment when they need to call 999.

2 hours is all it takes, and you can feel that way too. 💚

January is FULLY BOOKED, and February is 75% full! Don’t risk not learning how to save your little one’s life, it’s way too important.

🚨 This information is SO important for parents & families, especially at this time of year. 🚨 What symptoms should you look out for?
🚑 Some children have NO symptoms, and they vary largely based on where the battery is sat in their body
🚑 Pain
🚑 Dribbling & drooling
🚑 Difficult swallowing
🚑 Difficult speaking / change in voice
🚑 Coughing / spitting blood
🚑 Chest pain
🚑 Abdominal pain
🚑 Decreased eating or drinking

Be vigilant. Don’t leave batteries within reach of children, even if you’re nearby. It takes a second for a child to put a button battery in their mouth/nose/ear, and you may not even notice.

Stay safe this Christmas 🎄

Wasn’t it just 2 minutes ago that we were posting the summer safety tips?! These stats aren’t here to scare you, they’re here to remind you that alongside all the spooky fun, Halloween can be a dangerous night for families.

🎃 Take precautions, be safe on the roads and don’t let your children start on their Trick or Treat haul until you’ve checked it over (and maybe nabbed a few as parent tax?).

Swipe through the slides for some handy tips on how you can keep your child safe this spooky season. 👻 🧙

Did you know popcorn is a really risky food for young children? 🍿 As delicious and easy a snack as it is, the size and shape of popcorn means it can lodge in the airway, and its lightweight nature poses an aspiration risk too - meaning it can be inhaled into the lungs. 🫁

I’m Daniela, a senior paediatric nurse and trained teacher. You can book a 2-hour class with me to learn lifesaving skills that are invaluable as a parent, grandparent or carer of babies and children. 👶🏻
