Winter bugs can be tough on little ones ❄️🤒

Children often catch illnesses more easily as their immune systems are still growing—and winter brings even more viruses into the mix.

That’s why we’ve created the Stay Home, Stay Well guide. It’s here to help parents and carers of children aged 0 to 9 feel confident caring for common childhood illnesses at home, like:
• Fevers
• Minor head injuries
• Diarrhoea and vomiting
• Breathing problems

💡You’ll also find advice on when to get professional help—so your child gets the right care at the right time, in the right place.

📲 Follow the link to download and save the guide to your phone, tablet, or PC so it’s there when you need it most:

Becoming a parent can be one of the most exciting, and challenging, times in life. When partners are actively involved during pregnancy and birth, families see better outcomes – from reduced anxiety and depression to stronger bonding and greater confidence.

Aidan, who recently became a dad to triplets, said: “Just being asked how you’re coping, or being signposted to something supportive, can make a world of difference.”

That’s why we’re encouraging dads and partners to download the free DadPad app, developed with the NHS. The app offers guidance on: caring for your baby, supporting your partner’s recovery, understanding mental health for both parents and recognising when to ask for help.

Download the free Dadpaduk app from the Apple or Google Play stores and feel ready for every step of the journey: https://zurl.co/G9puk
