🦷Keeping teeth healthy! 🦷

Why do we brush our teeth?🤔
👅 Brushing teeth helps remove bacteria and plaque which helps stop gum disease and tooth decay.

🫁If we don't brush our teeth, it can cause infections in the gums, and mouth but bacteria can also travel to the lungs causing respiratory infections!

🏥Tooth decay is the leading cause of hospital admissions in young children.

It’s the small moments you share that make the biggest difference as your baby begins to find their voice — from their first hum or giggle to those early sounds.

Every rhyme, game and chat helps them learn your voice and feel connected to you. Even if it doesn’t seem like much, these moments are an important part of their journey towards talking.

Breastfeeding groups
In Leeds we are so lucky to have lots of fantastic breastfeeding groups, that run across the city and throughout the week. You will receive a warm welcome at a breastfeeding group for whatever stage you are at in your breastfeeding journey… including pregnant ladies, those who are struggling, new mums, experienced mums… please do come along. Often described as the “village”… breastfeeding groups are a great way to make new friends and receive support from your peers.
You do not need to worry about booking a place for any of the breastfeeding groups, they are all drop in groups for you to access as and when suits you.
Please see for when and where the groups are running. Most of the groups are run at Children’s Centre settings, so they are a great way for you to find out about the different family groups that are running in your area.
