🔹 Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a common cause of coughs and colds. RSV infectinos usually get better by themselves, but can sometimes be serious for babies and older adults.

🔹 RSV infections are very common. Almost all children get them at least once before they’re 2 years old.

🔹 They’re not usually serious, but some babies and adults have a higher risk of getting seriously ill, particularly:

👉 babies under 6 months old
👉 young children who were born prematurely
👉 adults over 75 years
👉 babies, children and adults with a weakened immune system, or long-term lung or heart conditions
👉 people who smoke to***co and babies exposed to to***co smoke

🔹 In babies, RSV is a common cause of a type of chest infection called bronchiolitis.

🔹 This can cause breathing problems and may need to be treated in hospital.

🔹 RSV can also cause a serious lung infection (pneumonia) in babies and older adults.

👉 Swipe for symptoms and when to get advice from medical professionals.

Just when your baby was starting to sleep for longer periods… BAM! Night wakings, nap refusal and daytime fussiness takes over!

At around 4 months, your little one’s brain is growing fast! They’re learning new skills: hand-eye coordination, tracking objects, recognizing faces, reaching for toys, and even starting to babble. They may dribble more too (which doesn’t necessarily mean they are teething!).

Try to remember: This isn’t a setback - it’s a progression. Your baby needs comfort, reassurance, and lots of love right now. Take care of yourself too and rest when you can.

Hang in there. This challenging phase will pass, and your baby is learning so much every day!

SAVE this post!

🌼 One question we are often asked by parents in our first aid classes is what to do if a child ever knocks out a tooth.

So here’s what you should do!

A knocked-out adult tooth can usually be saved by putting it back in place, or in milk as soon as possible before seeing dentist.

🌼If it’s an adult (permanent) tooth:

🔹Hold it by the white bit that sticks out of the gum (the crown). Do not touch the root.
Lick it clean if it’s dirty, or quickly rinse it in cold running water for no more than 10 seconds.

🔹Try to put it back into the hole in the gum.

🌼If it does not go in easily:
🔹 put it in milk
🔹 put it in saliva – by spitting into a container (if it’s your tooth) or having your child spit into a container (if it’s theirs)
🔹 hold it in your cheek until you see the dentist 🔹 but do not ask younger children do this in case they swallow it

🔹If it goes back in, bite down gently on a clean cloth to hold the tooth in place.

🔹Go to a dentist as soon as possible.

🌼If it’s a baby tooth:
🔹 do not put it back in – it could damage the tooth growing underneath

🌼If you do not know if it’s an adult or baby tooth:
🔹put it in milk or saliva (by having your child spit into a container) and bring it to the dentist

If you or your child have knocked out an adult tooth, even if you cannot find it it’s best to get help as quickly as possible – call 111 as soon as possible for advice on what to do.

👍 You’ll want to save this one!

🤒 Germ season is fast approaching! The winter months are notorious for the spreading of bugs and illnesses particularly in children in childcare settings and schools.

🔹 Here’s a useful graphic showing when you can send your little one into school or nursery (if they are well enough in themselves to go) and when you need to keep them home.

🤧 Getting lots of bugs isn’t necessarily a bad thing for young children. In many (not all) illnesses exposure is necessary in order for the immune system to be able to protect them. That said, it can be miserable when you have a constant stream of coughs and colds brought into your home making everyone poorly.

🔖 SAVE this post so you can refer to it later and TAG your parent friends who might also find this useful.

🙌 And stay tuned as we’ll be posted about each of these illnesses including the symptoms to look out for, when it can be treated at home and when you need to see a GP.

Save this post!

We are all feeling the pinch at the moment with bills increasing. As a result, lots of families are turning to hot water bottles to help keep warm without increasing energy bills further.

As we head into the colder months, it’s so important to follow the safety guidance on hot water bottles and use them as advised. Burns from hot water bottles can be extremely serious.

There are two key bits of advice:

🔹 Do not fill with boiling water
🔹 Check the flower symbol found on the inside of the bottle-neck to see when it needs replacing (swipe to see how to read this).

Please follow the guidance to help keep little ones (and yourself) safe.

‼️ 46 of those cases is 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.

🔹 Across the board (children & adults) scalds are the most common cause of burn injury, representing 43% of acute burn injuries
🔹 It is estimated that on average 110 children per day are seen in emergency departments with burn injuries – 46 as a result of a hot cup of tea or coffee spill
🔹 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
🔹 The average cost to the NHS for a major burn is £168,155
🔹 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.
