🔹 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.

The Power of Repair 💛

😢 We all lose our cool sometimes. Parenting is hard and when we’re tired, stressed or overwhelmed it can spill out in ways we wish it hadn’t. The important part is what happens next.

👉 Acknowledge it. Apologise, without excuses. Reconnect.

💞 A simple, sincere “I’m sorry” shows our children that grown ups make mistakes too, and that taking responsibility matters. Then comes the hug, the reassurance, the reminder that they are loved and safe.

🔹 As Becky Kennedy shares in her TED Talk by Becky Kennedy, it’s not the yelling that defines us as parents, it’s what we do after.

Repair keeps the connection strong, even when we’re not perfect. 💛

🏮 Wishing a very happy Lunar New Year to everyone celebrating!

🏮 Lunar New Year, often called Chinese New Year, is celebrated by many communities around the world including in China, Vietnam, Korea and across East and Southeast Asia. It marks the start of the lunar calendar and each year is represented by one of the 12 zodiac animals.

🏮 This year welcomes the Year of the Horse. Children born in the Year of the Horse are said to be energetic, confident and full of spirit. They’re often described as independent little adventurers with big hearts and natural charm, ready to gallop towards new experiences.

🏮 Here’s to a year filled with courage, kindness and lots of happy, healthy little ones.

🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️Today we want to celebrate single parents.

💙 The ones doing double the jobs, making all the decisions, carrying the mental load and still showing up with love every single day. The ones who juggle school runs, work, emotions, bedtime worries and their own exhaustion, often without a break.

❤️ Whether you are a single parent by choice, by circumstance, temporarily or long term, you are doing something incredible.
We see you and we hope you know just how amazing you are, especially on the really hard days.

❤️ Oxytocin is known as ‘the love hormone’. In honour of valentine’s day here are 6 ways new parents can naturally trigger the release of this feel good hormone!

❤️ Skin-to-skin contact
- skin-to-skin time with your baby is a wonderful bonding opportunity and will help promote the release of oxytocin for both you and your baby.

❤️ Breastfeeding
- Breastfeeding triggers the release of oxytocin.

❤️ Cuddle time
- Cuddling and holding your little one will release Oxytocin and will also help your baby’s brain development. Remember, you can’t spoil a baby so hold and cuddle your baby as much as you like; it’s beneficial for both of you!

❤️ Baby-wearing
- Wearing your baby in a carrier helps keep them to feel close and connected to you whilst you have your hands free to do other things. Keeping your baby close to you will help release Oxytocin in both parent and baby.

❤️ Smell your baby’s head
- You know that amazing newborn baby smell? This will release Oxytocin. If only they could bottle this scent!

❤️ Baby massage
- Touch also aids the release of Oxytocin so practising baby massage with your baby is a lovely way to bond with them and release more of that love hormone. There are multiple benefits to baby massage for both parents and baby.

❤️ In short, keeping your baby close to you is going to have a positive impact on both you and your baby in those early days and will get those lovely hormones flowing.

👶 Welcoming a new baby is a huge change, especially for older siblings. Here are some gentle, practical ways to help them feel secure, loved and included during those early weeks.

👉 Plan the first meeting
If you can, avoid holding the baby when they first meet. Free arms mean you can give your older child lots of cuddles first, then bring baby in together.

👉 Prepare your visitors
Ask friends and family to make a fuss of your older child too. A small gift just for them can really help them feel included.

👉 Avoid calling them “the big one”
It can feel quite jarring for a child who has always been the baby. Try not to change expectations overnight and ask others to do the same.

👉 Get them their own baby
A doll they can feed, cuddle or change alongside you can be a lovely way to play and feel involved.

👉 Invest in a good sling
A sling can be a real lifesaver with a newborn and a toddler. Baby stays close and content while your hands are free for play and cuddles.

👉 Create a special feeding box
Save a box of activities just for feeding times. It comes out while you feed the baby and goes away again afterwards.

👉 Don’t “blame” the baby
Try swapping “I can’t, I’m holding the baby” for “my hands are busy right now, I’ll help you as soon as I can”.

👉 Make time for one-to-one moments
Even short pockets of time can mean the world. If you can, step away from the baby and focus fully on your older child.
There is no perfect way to do this. Be kind to yourself, take it one day at a time, and remember that love is not divided, it grows.
