If your child is in primary school, nursery or pre-school, you will likely have had a “head bump form” in their schoolbag at some point!

Head bumps can be very serious in little ones, and it is really important to know the signs of a concussion.

Check out the slides here for everything you need to know about children's head bumps 💚

💚POSTNATAL MENTAL HEALTH💚

The first few weeks after having a baby can be really tough.

We spoke to Andrea Witt, a cognitive behavioural therapist specialising in postnatal mental health, about some of the challenges new parents can face.

Read on for Andrea’s signs and symptoms to look out for, which might signal that you, or your loved one, may need some help with their mental health.

Watching a video tutorial or 30-second reel demonstrating how to perform chest thrusts on a choking baby is not going to give you the same learning experience as watching and practising the technique in person.

When you take an in-person first aid class with Mini First Aid, you'll see our expert trainers demonstrate the techniques in front of you on life-sized baby and child mannequins.

You'll get hands-on with the mannequins yourself, experiencing exactly where to position your hands and fingers, feel how deeply to properly compress during CPR and get immediate feedback on how you are managing, helping you make adjustments and get it right.

You'll have time with our expert trainer to ask questions and practise until the techniques become second nature.

And you don't get that from a minute-long video or TV programme! 😉

Come and learn with us, it's two hours of your time and costs from just £30 per person to really learn vital first aid techniques that could just save your child's life.

WARNING: Baby sleep pillows can be deadly

These soft pillows and cushions are often marketed for baby sleep or as somewhere for a baby to be left unsupervised. But this can cause suffocation or overheating, and your baby might even die.

Despite what some online product listings suggest, pillows are not recommended for babies until they are at least 12 months old. The safest place for your baby to sleep is on a clear, firm, flat surface.
