👉🏼 Your child may be sleepy or confused for a while after a breath holding episode.

👉🏼 Although breath-holding can be scary for parents, it’s usually harmless and your child should grow out of it by the age of 4 or 5.

Breath-holding episodes:

- usually last for less than 1 minute (if the child faints, they’ll usually regain consciousness within 1 or 2 minutes)
- are not epileptic seizures
- Your child is not doing it on purpose and cannot control what happens when they have a breath-holding episode.

❗️Call 999 if your child:
- faints and cannot be woken up
- is shaking or jerking because of a fit
- is blue or grey

👆🏼These could be symptoms of breath-holding, but could also be related to other, more serious conditions. If a doctor has not previously told you it’s breath-holding, it’s important to get it checked immediately.

See a GP if:

- your child has already been diagnosed with breath-holding and:
- has breath-holding episodes more often than before or the episodes seem worse
- is stiff or shakes for longer than a minute and takes a while to recover
- has breath-holding episodes that are affecting everyday life

👉🏼 The GP will try to find out if there’s a more serious underlying condition. They may suggest an ECG to check your child’s heart rhythm.

I absolutely loved using a local business for my first aid training. Lauren was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole session engaging and easy to follow. She explained everything clearly, answered all questions with confidence, and created such a relaxed, supportive learning environment.

I genuinely enjoyed the class and now feel prepared, confident, and reassured that I could act correctly in an emergency. I would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for professional, high-quality first aid training delivered with care and expertise.

Lauren was extremely knowledgeable, considerate and engaging. I left with more clarity and confidence in dealing with my children's health and safety.

We did a child and baby first aid session with Lauren and it was brilliant. She was calm, friendly, and made everything easy to follow. We left feeling much more confident handling little bumps and knocks. Highly recommend for any parent or carer

The instructor was so calm, encouraging, and knowledgeable, and made everything feel clear and reassuring. We left feeling so much more confident about everything, from what to do if our little one ever chokes during weaning to handling the inevitable bumps and knocks as she grows. We even booked two additional private sessions for the grandparents — can’t recommend our trainer, Lauren, enough. An absolute essential for all parents and carers!

❗️46 of those cases are due to hot drinks spills.

☕️ A hot drink can seriously burn a child 15 minutes after it’s been made. It’s important to keep hot drinks well out of reach of little ones and remind any guests visiting of how important this is too.

👉🏼 The majority of burn injuries occurring to children are between 3 and 6pm

👉🏼 The most common place of injury for children is in the home – 49% of whom are burnt in the kitchen

💧 Burn cooling is critical in the initial first aid response to injury – applying cool running water for 20 minutes is considered best practice.

⛑️ If your child does accidentally get burned the first aid treatment they receive could make all the difference to their recovery.

Remember:

1 – remove any clothing (including their nappy as this will retain the hot liquid and potentially cause more harm)

2 – cool the burn for 20 mins under cool running

3 – cover the burn with cling film

🏥 Then take the child to be seen by a medical professional.

👉🏼 Children’s skin burns at a lower temperature to ours so it’s so important to take extra care when there are little ones around.

🌷 Today is world mental health day so in honour of this here are some important reminders for us mums.

🌺 Becoming a mum can feel hard at times. Feelings of loneliness and sadness at the loss of the life you had before you had your baby are not uncommon but are not commonly spoken about for fear of judgement or being deemed a ‘bad’ mother. They also come with a big helping of guilt for having those feelings.

⭐️ We’re here to tell you to go easy on yourself; you’re doing a great job. We were never meant to do this on our own.

👇🏼If you are struggling and feel you could use some support, here are some people who can help you. You are not alone.

👉🏼 Mind Charity Helpline - 0300 123 3393

🩷 Check in on your new mum friends today. Ask them how they’re doing. Then ask them how they’re really doing.
