Febrile seizures can be incredibly frightening to witness, especially when it’s your own little one. ❤️

But can we take a moment to acknowledge how well Mum and Dad did in this video? 👏 Katelin Minutello

They stayed with their baby, recognised something wasn’t right and called for help. In a stressful moment, those actions matter so much.

A few important things to remember if your child has a seizure:

❤️ Stay calm and stay with your child.
❤️ Move any nearby objects to prevent injury.
❤️ Don’t restrain them or try to stop the movements.
❤️ Don’t put anything in their mouth.
❤️ Time the seizure. Knowing how long it lasts is really important.
❤️ If you have an extra set of hands, ask them to film the seizure. This can provide valuable information for the medical team about what happened and what the seizure looked like. Your priority is always keeping your child safe.
❤️ If you’re worried, call Triple Zero (000). You don’t need to wait or second-guess yourself.

Once the seizure has stopped, place your child on their side if they are breathing normally and monitor them closely.

Remember, you are not expected to manage these situations alone. If something doesn’t feel right, seek help.

And a little reminder: knowing what to do before an emergency happens can make such a difference.

This is exactly why we teach baby and child first aid. Knowledge doesn’t take away the fear, but it can help you feel more prepared. ❤️

There’s something so special about families coming together to prepare for their newest little arrival. 🤍

Having grandparents, parents and loved ones all involved in learning baby first aid is what it’s all about.

Because keeping little ones safe is a team effort, and giving the whole family the confidence to know what to do if something happens is such a beautiful gift to give before baby arrives. 🥹

I absolutely love being welcomed into your homes and being part of these special moments.

A little preparation goes a long way.

Setting our little ones up for safe eating habits starts from the very beginning. 🥑

It’s not just about what we offer our children to eat, but also how we create a safe environment around mealtimes.

A few little habits that make a big difference:
• Always supervise children while eating.
• Encourage sitting down to eat, rather than walking or playing with food.
• Offer age-appropriate food textures and sizes.
• Encourage slow, relaxed mealtimes.
• Avoid distractions where possible.
• Make sure everyone caring for your child understands choking risks and knows what to do in an emergency.

Building safe eating habits early helps set our little ones up for a lifetime of safer mealtimes. ❤️

Safe eating starts with little habits.

Did you know babies can develop blocked tear ducts? 👀

It’s actually quite common in newborns and can cause watery eyes, sticky discharge or crusting around the eyelids.

A gentle massage can sometimes help encourage drainage. Using a clean finger, gently massage downwards along the side of the nose, starting near the inner corner of the eye.

A little tip from a mum who has been there too! My son had a blocked tear duct when he was born, so it’s something I’ve experienced firsthand. ❤️

Remember:
• Always wash your hands first.
• Keep the pressure gentle.
• Use a clean cotton pad and sterile saline to gently clean any discharge.
• If there’s redness, swelling, significant discharge or your baby seems unwell, seek medical advice.

And remember, not every watery eye is a blocked tear duct. If you’re unsure, get it checked by your GP.

Little things we can learn that make those newborn days a little less daunting. 🧡

HEADS UP VICTORIANS 🌩️
Thunderstorm asthma alert. Check the VicEmergency app to see if your area is affected.
Thunderstorm asthma can catch out kids who've never had asthma before. Hay fever kids too. So please save this one.
Before the storm rolls in:
Get the kids inside before the wind picks up.
Close the windows and doors.
Keep their puffer and spacer close.
If your child has an asthma action plan, now's the time to dig it out and follow it.
As a paediatric ED nurse, I'd much rather you know this and never need it.

Four adults, one little one, and so much love behind keeping them safe 🧡 Learning baby first aid together means everyone can feel a little more confident when it matters most.
Because keeping little ones safe takes a village. 🫶🏼

🚨 They might look like harmless fun, but bouncy balls can be a serious choking risk for little ones!
Their small, round shape can completely block a child’s airway. Keep them out of reach of babies and toddlers, and always check age recommendations on toys.
💛 A little awareness can make a big difference.

Ever had a medical professional say something and you've just nodded along? 🙋‍♀️

I hear these words every shift in ED. Parents hear them when they're already scared and running on no sleep.

Tachycardia. Febrile. Work of breathing. Lethargic. Cyanosis.

Knowing what they mean helps you understand what's going on. It also helps you notice when something's not right at home. Sometimes that's the bit that matters most.

Save this so it's there when you need it. Send it to a parent who'd want to know.

This one feels a little extra special 🥹🤍

Jess and I went to high school together, and all these years later, we’ve reconnected in the most unexpected way.

Jess was searching online for a baby and child first aid course and stumbled across Safe Kids First Aid. Little did she know, she’d be booking in with someone she went to school with!

It was so lovely to be welcomed into Jess’s home, reminisce about our high school days, share a few stories and catch up on life, all while teaching her the skills to help keep her little one safe. 🫶🏼

It’s moments like these that make what I do so special. Getting to reconnect with people from different chapters of my life while doing something I’m so passionate about is pretty special.

Thanks for having me, Jess! 🧡

If you’re a local mum looking to learn baby and child first aid, I’d love to come to your home, too!
