Mini First Aid Cardiff & Newport

‼️ Choking prevention starts long before the food ever reaches your child’s mouth.

One of the most powerful things you can do during weaning is prepare foods in a way that supports safe chewing and swallowing. Foods like grapes, sausages and bananas can be higher risk when served in round slices. Cutting them lengthwise changes how they move through the mouth and throat.

This simple step helps prevent food from blocking the airway and allows air to pass if food does momentarily catch, giving your child more time to clear it themselves.

Small changes in food preparation can make a big difference to safety and confidence at mealtimes.

Save this post if you’re weaning now or planning to start soon. 💚

🐣 Little signs of Spring are popping up all over the place... daffodils, snowdrops, and, oh yes, Mini Eggs! One of life’s greatest pleasures, BUT have you ever noticed this before? Mini Eggs have a warning on the back - not suitable for children under 4.

We are forever sharing the warnings across our social media pages about preparing grapes safely for young children and solid chocolate eggs pose exactly the same risk - a BIG choking risk! So, it might just be for the best if you (carefully) eat them yourself.......👍

Do you know the difference between choking and gagging, in a little one?

⛑️ Gagging is noisy.
⛑️ Choking is silent.

Gagging is usually quickly resolved, and doesn't require any first aid intervention, just wait and watch.

Choking is silent, as the airway is obstructed. This needs quick first aid intervention, to dislodge the object from the airway.

Come and learn these lifesaving skills at one of our relaxed and informal classes. 💚

Our next class in Llanishen is full, but we do have four spaces left on our class at John Lewis & Partners Cardiff on March 7th. Book your place here.👇

Can you bring your baby to our Baby & Child First Aid classes?

Yes, absolutely!

Pre-crawling babies are very welcome to come along. If you need to feed, change or comfort your baby during the session, that is completely fine.

Once little ones are crawling or on the move, classes can become less suitable. We want you to feel relaxed, able to take in the information and join in with the practical activities without worrying about where your baby has wandered.

If you are unsure about the venue and whether it will work for your pram or pushchair, simply contact your local instructor. You will find their details at the bottom of the location webpage when you search using your postcode on the classes page of our website.

Our two-hour baby & child classes run all across Cardiff, Penarth and Newport and cost £30 pp - see what's available in your area on our website:
