3 Things all parents of babies should do

🫶🏼 As first aid trainers, these 3 things we want every parent of babies and young children to do.

1. Take their temperature when they're well.
2. Record their breathing rate
3. Take a video of your child breathing

By doing these three things, you'll know what's normal for your child so if you're worried something is wrong you can detect any changes.

And don’t forget to SHARE with other parents who should know this! ✅

How to help a child with a nosebleed

🩸 Nosebleeds can look scary, but most stop with simple first aid.

⛑️ Sit your child down and lean them slightly forward. Pinch the soft part of their nose and keep the pressure on for 10 minutes. If it’s still bleeding do this for another 10 minutes.

⏰ While you’re doing this ask them to breathe through their mouth and spit out any blood. Try not to let go early to check it.

🩸 If it is still bleeding after 20 minutes, keep pinching for another 10 minutes.

🫧 Afterwards, for 24 hours, avoid nose picking, nose blowing, hot baths or showers, and warm drinks.

🚑 Get medical help if it does not stop, the bleeding is heavy, they are struggling to breathe, feel weak or dizzy, or it happened after a head injury.

✅ See a GP if your child is under 2 or gets regular nosebleeds.

🤒 Fevers can be really worrying, especially in little ones.

🦠 A fever is temperature of 38°C or above and it’s often a sign the body is fighting off an infection. Most fevers settle on their own, but there are times when seeking medical advice is important.

⚠️ You should seek urgent medical help if:
👶🏻 Your baby is under 3 months and has a temperature of 38°C or higher
🥵 Your baby is 3 to 6 months and has a temperature of 39°C or higher
💤 They seem unusually sleepy, floppy or hard to wake
🫁 They have difficulty breathing
🫙They have a rash that does not fade when you press a glass against it
😢 They have a seizure
🚽 They show signs of dehydration, such as fewer wet nappies or no tears when crying

🫶🏼 For older babies and children, trust your instincts. If they are not themselves, not feeding, or you’re worried, it’s always okay to get them checked.

🫶🏼 Fevers are common and most are mild, but knowing when to seek help can make all the difference.

🫶🏼 Knowledge brings confidence and that confidence helps you stay calm when it matters most.

Why should a child cry immediately after a bump to the head? 🤔

Why is crying after a bump to the head often reassuring?

🙌🏼 Because it usually means your child is conscious, responsive and breathing normally. Crying is a natural reaction to pain, shock and fright, and can be a good sign right after a bump.

⚠️ BUT keep watching them closely afterwards for at least 24 hours.

If they display any of the following symptoms take them to A&E or call 999 immediately.
If your baby or child has:

- Lost consciousness (even briefly)
- Difficulty staying awake or keeping their eyes open
- A fit (seizure)
- Fallen from a height more than 1 metre or 5 stairs
- Problems with their vision or hearing
- A black eye without direct injury to the eye
- Clear fluid coming from their ears or nose
- Bleeding from their ears or bruising behind their ears
- Numbness or weakness in part of their body
- Problems with walking, balance, understanding, speaking or writing
- Hit their head at speed, such as in a car crash, being hit by a car or bike or a diving accident
- A head wound with something inside it or a dent to the head
- Been crying more than usual (especially in babies and young children)
- Vomited since the injury
- Had a change in behaviour, like being more irritable, losing interest in things or being easily distracted (especially in children under 5)

🫶🏼 Crying can be reassuring in the moment, but it’s what happens next that really matters.
