Christmas can be a joyful time - but it can also feel long and exhausting, especially with a young baby.

Before you pick them up, pause and check the 3 Cs:
Calm – are you calm?
Careful – can you be careful?
Caring – will you be caring?

Find out more at https://iconcope.org/3Cs

Practice pausing at the door. A great tool to help you make sure you are ready to enter the baby’s room and offer care. Before entering check the 3 Cs. A quick check each time you enter the baby’s room will help you know if you need to take a few minutes before seeing to...

It’s best to avoid tablecloths if you have little ones in the house. But it’s especially important at Christmas time when you might be distracted by the festivities.

It only takes a second for little ones to pull on the hanging fabric and pull the table contents onto themselves.

Hot drinks, steaming jugs of gravy, candles and even hot Christmas dinners have all caused serious burns when tipped over in this way.

Real Christmas trees are often the heart of the home. But they need to be well-watered throughout Christmas so they’re less likely to catch fire or burn quickly. If your tree becomes dry, remove it right away.

Plus, whether your tree is real or fake, don’t forget to:
• Keep it away from heat sources and candles
• Avoid overloading sockets
• Turn off the fairy lights before you go to bed or go out
• Remember to test your smoke alarms

It's not automatic for little children to pull away from something that's burning them. It's something they learn.

That's why burns from hair styling tools can be so bad if your child grabs, sits or stands on them.

So, find a spot safely out of reach of curious little fingers and get in the habit of leaving them there each time.

Remember, they can still burn even after they’re unplugged!
