❓Did you know that following a few simple sleep steps can make a huge difference in reducing the risk of SIDS? Since the ‘Back to Sleep’ campaign started in 1991, rates have dropped by over 84%!

😴Here are some practical tips:👇

✅Back to Sleep: Always place your baby on their back in a safe space with a firm, flat mattress. Keep the crib or bassinet in your room.

✅Smoke-Free Zone: Don’t smoke during pregnancy and keep your baby away from smoke. Over a third of SIDS cases could be avoided if this is followed.

✅Safe Co-Sleeping: If you’re sharing a bed, avoid it if you’ve been drinking, are extremely tired, a smoker, or using drugs. Sleeping on sofas or armchairs with your baby is never safe.

✅Keep Comfortable: Babies shouldn’t get too hot or cold. Keep the room around 16–20°C, avoid hats in bed, and check if your baby’s chest or neck feels too warm.

✅Breastfeeding Benefits: If possible, breastfeed for at least 2 months as it can halve the risk of SIDS. The longer you continue, the more protection it offers.

✨Christmas is magical on its own… but when you have little ones, it really comes alive. There’s nothing like seeing their tiny faces light up with joy and excitement.

🎄But let’s be honest, the pressure on parents this time of year is no joke! Social media can make it feel like you need matching PJs, hand-sewn nativity costumes, and a picture-perfect December to make it “count.”

Here’s the truth: parenting is hard enough already. Your Christmas doesn’t need to look like someone else’s highlight reel. If you’re rocking the matching PJs - amazing! If not - also amazing!! It sounds like such a cliché but all your kids really want is you and your time.

😍So we’re sharing some of our favourite low-cost, low-effort Christmas traditions that little ones absolutely love.

We’d love to hear yours in the comments!👇

🎁With the rise of cheap online marketplaces (think sites like Temu, Shein and Wish) it’s important to remember that just because you can buy it doesn’t mean it’s safe for your little one.

❓Did you know?

Not all products sold on these platforms, and others like it, meet UK safety standards which could put your little one at risk of:
❗️Choking hazards from small, detachable parts.
❗️Toxic substances in toys, clothing, or accessories.
❗️Unsafe designs that don’t comply with UK guidelines.

Here’s how to shop safely this Christmas:
✅Buy from reputable brands. If something is cheap and seems to good to be true, it probably is.
✅Be extra careful when buying toys for children under 3 as they are at greater risk from dangerous toys
✅Look for verified reviews from trusted sources
✅Trust your instincts and if something seems unsafe, don’t let your child play with it
✅Products displaying the UKCA or CE mark comply with UK or EU safety regulations

🙏Your child’s safety matters most. While a bargain may save you a few pounds today, it could come at a much higher cost later. Shop carefully this Christmas and keep your little one safe.

🩷💙Are you expecting an extra special arrival this December?

If so, their birthstone is turquoise — symbolizing protection, luck, and calming energy.

🌸Their birth flowers are holly and narcissus which bring messages of hope, good fortune, and festive cheer.

Depending on when they arrive, they’ll be either a curious Sagittarius ♐️ or a determined Capricorn ♑️

🎅And if this will be your baby’s first Christmas, we hope this is a magical time for you!

💙Stay tuned for some lovely Christmas tradition ideas to make this festive season unforgettable.

😢If your baby ever cries inconsolably and you can’t calm them, check if it could be a hair tourniquet.

A hair tourniquet, which occurs when a hair or other fibre, such as synthetic thread becomes tightly wrapped around most commonly a toe, and occasionally a finger, ge****ls, or other body parts. The hair or fibre can cut off the circulation to the appendage and damage the nerves, skin tissue and function of that body part.

❗️Hair tourniquets are rare, but it is a medical emergency that needs to be identified and treated promptly to prevent any long-term damage to the tissue.

👶🏼They are generally seen in infants and toddlers and who can't tell you what's wrong. If your little one becomes very upset or they're not acting themselves it is worth having a look around fingers, toes and ge****ls to make sure they do not have a hair tourniquet.

Look out for swelling, redness or an indentation in the appendage and if you find something seek medical attention immediately.

Scarlet Fever is very infectious and can easily be spread to other people so if you think your child might have scarlet fever please keep them off school or nursery.

It's usually easily treated with antibiotics but as always, if you are concerned about your child, please trust your instincts and get advice from a medical professional as soon as possible if you feel your child is becoming more unwell.

If they are displaying the following symptoms please get medical advice as quickly as possible:
🔹Fever
🔹Severe muscle aches
🔹Localised muscle tenderness
🔹Redness at the site of a wound
🔹Unexplained vomiting or diarrhoea

🚑During the winter months the number of calls made to 999 for ambulances increases by up to 30% vs the summer months. Key factors for this increase are respiratory illnesses, falls and injuries due to icy weather, cardiovascular incidents and mental health emergencies.

Remember, an ambulance should only be called for a serious illness or injury or if someone’s life is in danger. Otherwise NHS 111 will be able to help.

If you do need to call an ambulance doing the things on the list above will help the ambulance find you more quickly and get you to hospital more quickly. Which in turn will help them to help more people.

You’ll want to save this one!

🥶Colder nights are coming!

💤It can be tricky to know how to dress your baby for the night when temperatures drop, so here’s a handy guide to help keep them cosy and safe this winter.

Please remember, this is just a guide.

👍The best way to check if your baby is warm enough is by feeling their chest or the back of their neck - they should feel comfortably warm, not cold or sweaty. If they feel too warm, remove a layer.

Please SHARE this post with any parents of babies who might find it helpful.

👀Could you spot the symptoms of diabetes in your child?

‼️If type 1 diabetes is left undiagnosed, it can get really serious, really quickly. But knowing the signs can avoid a medical emergency and save lives.

Knowing the 4Ts can help you spot the four most common signs of type 1 diabetes in both adults and children, and they’re really easy to remember:

🧻Toilet – Going for a wee more often.

🥛Thirsty – Non-stop thirst and drinking more than usual.

😴Tired – Feeling more tired and having less energy than usual.

⚖️Thinner – Unexplained weight loss.

If you are concerned about your child please take them to see a GP as soon as possible.
