💐 Expecting a little springtime arrival?

💎 March babies are linked to the beautiful aquamarine, a gemstone said to represent calm, clarity and courage. A peaceful little powerhouse in the making.

🌼 Their birth flower is the daffodil, symbolising new beginnings, hope and happiness. Perfect for babies arriving as the days get brighter.

Depending on when they arrive, they’ll be either a dreamy Pisces ♓️ known for their gentle, compassionate nature, or a bold and energetic Aries ♈️ full of confidence and spark.

❤️ Tag someone who’s counting down to their March bundle of joy.

🔹 Worried about your baby’s head shape? Here’s what you need to know…

🔹 It’s normal for babies to develop a slightly flattened head after spending lots of time lying on their back. This is called flat head syndrome, and it comes in two types:

🔹 Plagiocephaly – One side of the head flattens, making it look uneven or asymmetrical. The ears may be misaligned, and the forehead might bulge slightly.

🔹 Brachycephaly – The back of the head flattens, making the head wider, sometimes causing the forehead to stick out.

🔹 Flat head syndrome affects about 1 in 5 babies, and in most cases, it’s not a cause for concern. It doesn’t affect brain development and usually improves naturally as your baby grows and starts moving more.

🔹 When Should You Seek Advice?

🔹 If you’re worried about your baby’s head shape or notice they have trouble turning their head, speak to your GP or health visitor. They can check your baby and suggest helpful tips.

🔹 What Can You Do to Help?

👉 Give your baby tummy time during the day.
👉 Switch between a sling, sloping chair, and flat surface to reduce pressure on one area.
👉 Move toys and mobiles to encourage head turning.
👉 Alternate sides when feeding and carrying.
👉 Limit time in car seats and prams when possible.

🍯 If you ever suspect a child has swallowed a button battery (those small round coin-sized batteries found in toys, remotes or watches), it’s important to act IMMEDIATELY.

⚠️ These batteries can start reacting with body fluids and damage tissue within hours, and it should always be treated as a medical emergency.

📲 Always call 999 or get straight to A&E if you even suspect a child may have ingested one.

🍯 While you’re on the way to hospital the guidance now is that if the child is over 12 months old, giving them 2 teaspoons of honey every 10 minutes (up to about 6 doses) may help slow the chemical reaction and protect the throat and oesophagus until medical care can be given.

⚠️ This is only recommended if it’s immediately available and shouldn’t delay getting emergency help.

‼️ Important: Do NOT give honey to children under 1 year old due to the risk of infant botulism.

⚠️ Honey is a temporary measure only – it does not replace urgent medical assessment and treatment.

👍 This is brand new guidance in the UK so please share this post with your parent friends to update them.

🔹 Fevers can be really worrying, especially in little ones.
A fever is temperature of 38°C or above and it’s often a sign the body is fighting off an infection. Most fevers settle on their own, but there are times when seeking medical advice is important.

You should seek urgent medical help if:
• Your baby is under 3 months and has a temperature of 38°C or higher
• Your baby is 3 to 6 months and has a temperature of 39°C or higher
• They seem unusually sleepy, floppy or hard to wake
• They have difficulty breathing
• They have a rash that does not fade when you press a glass against it
• They have a seizure
• They show signs of dehydration, such as fewer wet nappies or no tears when crying

🔹 For older babies and children, trust your instincts. If they are not themselves, not feeding, or you’re worried, it’s always okay to get them checked.

🔹 Fevers are common and most are mild, but knowing when to seek help can make all the difference. Knowledge brings confidence, and that confidence helps you stay calm when it matters most.
