Let’s put meningitis into perspective 👇

Around 10–25% of people carry meningococcal bacteria (Neisseria meningitidis) in their nose/throat… and are completely fine.

It usually takes close, prolonged contact to spread —
👉 kissing
👉 sharing drinks
👉 living closely together

So no… this isn’t about panic or fear.

You are very unlikely to get seriously unwell.

BUT — and it’s a big but —
If symptoms do appear, time is everything.

That’s why awareness matters.
Not fear… just knowing when to act.

Trust your gut. Act early. Save lives.

In view of what’s currently happening in the UK with meningitis, this guide is to help raise awareness and support you in recognising and responding to symptoms in babies and children.

If in doubt, trust your intuition and seek help — call the emergency services.

Baby CPR in Just Over 60 Seconds

A baby in first aid is anyone from newborn to 12 months old.

If you find a baby unresponsive and not breathing normally:

📞 Call 999 immediately and begin CPR.

👶 Start with 5 rescue breaths
Most baby cardiac arrests are caused by breathing problems, so the breaths are very important.

Seal your mouth over the baby’s mouth and nose and give gentle breaths for about 1 second each.

Think of it like gently blowing out a candle.
Adults have big lungs – babies have very small lungs.

❤️ If you are paediatric trained:
Give 15 chest compressions using the two-thumb technique in the centre of the chest.

• Push to about ⅓ depth of the chest (around 4 cm)
• Rate: 100–120 compressions per minute
• 15 compressions → 2 breaths

🔁 Continue 15:2 until help arrives.

⚠️ If you’re not paediatric trained or you forget the ratio:
Just use 30 compressions to 2 breaths.

The most important thing is doing something rather than nothing.

🚑 Keep going until the ambulance arrives.
You are providing Basic Life Support until professionals can deliver Advanced Life Support.

☀️ Have a fantastic weekend in the sunshine.

❓ Any questions, drop them in the comments.

This series is called First Aid and You

I’ve decided to start doing short interviews with people whose lives have been changed — or saved — by ordinary people who knew a bit of first aid and had the courage to take action.

This isn’t about being perfect or being a medical professional.
It’s about stepping in and making a positive difference when it really matters ❤️

This series is for everyone, but especially for laypeople.
Maybe you’ve never done a first aid course.
Maybe you did one years ago and feel a bit rusty.
Maybe you just want a basic idea of what to do if something happens.

In this situation, the first person to help my sister-in-law wasn’t a doctor or a nurse. Just an ordinary person who knew some first aid and jumped in. Shortly after, two nurses and a police officer arrived, and together they kept her going for around 30 minutes until the ambulance could reach a difficult forest location.

Without those people taking action, she wouldn’t be here today.

We’re lucky to have incredible paramedics, nurses, doctors, police, and firefighters 🚑 but the system is under strain, and they can’t always be there instantly. Sometimes, you are the help until help arrives.

If you’ve been helped, saved, or supported by someone taking action — or you were the person who stepped in — get in touch. Let’s have a short chat and share your story 💬
These stories matter. They save lives.

FIRST AID FOR MENINGITIS – PARENTS & CARERS

🧠 What is meningitis?
Meningitis is a serious infection causing inflammation of the protective lining of the brain and spinal cord. It can develop very quickly and is a medical emergency. Early recognition and urgent treatment save lives.

👶 Signs & symptoms in babies and young children:
• Fever (or sometimes a low temperature)
• Unusual drowsiness, floppy or difficult to wake
• High-pitched or weak cry
• Refusing feeds or vomiting
• Pale, mottled or blotchy skin
• Cold hands and feet
• Rapid or difficult breathing
• Seizures or fits
• Sensitivity to light
• Stiff neck (often hard to spot in babies)
• Rash that does NOT fade when pressed (this can be a late sign)

🚑 First aid & immediate action:
• Trust your instincts — parents often sense when something is seriously wrong
• Call 999 immediately if meningitis is suspected
• Do not wait for a rash to appear
• Keep the child comfortable (cool if very hot, warm if cold)
• Do not give food or drink if drowsy or vomiting
• If a seizure occurs, protect from injury and note the time
• If unresponsive and not breathing normally, start CPR

💙 Important parent message:
Meningitis can look like flu at first but can worsen rapidly. If you are worried, seek emergency help immediately — delay can be life-threatening.

📊 Reassurance:
Bacterial meningitis is rare (around 1 in 10,000 people per year). Viral meningitis is more common but usually mild, and most children recover fully with no long-term problems.
This guide is not about panic — it’s about awareness and early action.

UK RESUSCITATION COUNCIL GUIDELINE CHANGES!

🚨 BABY CPR - UNRESPONSIVE & NOT BREATHING 🚨

This video shows infant CPR for a baby who is unresponsive and not breathing.

We always start with Dr’s ABC 👇
🔹 D – Danger: Make sure it’s safe
🔹 R – Response (AVPU)
• Alert
• Responds to Voice
• Responds to gentle pressure under the foot
• Unresponsive

If unresponsive 👉 SEND FOR HELP / CALL 999 📞 (put on speaker)



A – Airway

✔️ Open the airway in a neutral head position
✔️ Remove anything obvious
❌ Do NOT blind finger sweep – you can push objects further in



B – Breathing

👂 Look, listen, and feel for up to 10 seconds
✔️ Normal breathing = 3–4 effective breaths
❌ Not breathing or gasping = start CPR



INFANT CPR

🫁 5 rescue breaths
❤️ 30 chest compressions
🫁 2 breaths

🔁 Continue 30:2
⏱️ Rate: 100–120 per minute
📏 Depth: About ⅓ of the chest (≈4cm)

👉 NEW TECHNIQUE
Hands wrapped circularly around the chest,
Both thumbs pressing on the centre of the sternum (between the ni**le line)



Continue CPR until:

🚑 Ambulance arrives
👩‍⚕️ A medical professional takes over
👶 The baby starts to breathe effectively



⚠️ Your actions matter. Early CPR saves lives.
If you’re a parent, grandparent, or carer — this is a skill you need.
