𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻…?

You put them to bed… and then the coughing starts.
Or they run around for five minutes and suddenly they’re out of breath.

As parents, it’s hard to know... is it just another cold, or could it be asthma?

Asthma affects around 1 in 12 children in the UK and symptoms like night-time coughing, wheezing or breathlessness shouldn’t be brushed off.

The reassuring part? With the right support and management plan, children with asthma can live full, active lives.

If this sounds familiar, our latest blog explains what to look for, common triggers and when to seek advice.

Allergies in children can show up in many ways, from eczema and tummy issues to wheezing, rashes or reactions to certain foods. Sometimes symptoms are subtle, delayed, or easy to mistake for something else.

Understanding what’s triggering your child’s symptoms is the first step towards helping them feel better.

This week marks a major step forward for allergy safety in schools.

Following tireless campaigning in memory of five year old Benedict Blythe, the House of Lords has approved a landmark amendment supporting Benedict’s Law, with the Government committing to publish mandatory statutory guidance on allergy safety in schools, due to come into force from September 2026.

This marks a clear move towards a legal duty for schools to:
• Hold accessible spare adrenaline auto injectors
• Ensure staff receive allergy awareness and emergency response training
• Put individual allergy action plans in place
• Adopt and publish a whole school allergy policy

For families living with allergies, this is a moment of real progress, moving away from inconsistency and towards safer, more prepared school environments for every child.

At Paediatric Diagnostics, we see first hand how serious allergies can be, and we welcome steps that prioritise prevention, awareness and preparedness.

A powerful reminder that change is possible and that Benedict’s legacy will help protect countless children in the years to come 💛

Ouch!!! Is Breastfeeding Supposed to Hurt?

The short answer? No, it shouldn’t.

Many of us have heard it before:
“Your ni***es are just sensitive.”
“It’ll get better in two weeks, they just need to toughen up.”
Sound familiar? You’re not alone, but that doesn’t make it true.

If breastfeeding makes your toes curl, or feels like your baby has a mouthful of needles and broken glass, please know that this is not normal and there is help available.

Some common causes of painful feeding include:
• Shallow latch
• Oral restrictions (like tongue/lip/buccal ties)
• Weak suck
• Mouth-to-nipple mismatch
• Baby feeling unsupported (triggering the Moro reflex)
… and more.

Try this quick guide: Think CHINS

👉 Close – Keep your baby close, no gaps between your bodies
👉 Head Free – Don’t hold their head while feeding
👉 Inline – Head, neck, and body should be in a straight line
👉 Nose to Ni**le – Helps baby tilt their head for a deeper latch
👉 Supported – Use cushions, pillows, or arm support to make sure both of you are comfortable

Need more help? You're not alone.

Book a session with Michelle, our warm and experienced IBCLC Lactation Consultant. She’s here to support your feeding goals — no judgment, just empowerment.
