💙 Hormones are chemicals produced by different glands across your body. They travel through the bloodstream, acting as messengers and playing a part in many bodily processes.

🔹 One of these important functions is helping to regulate your mood.

🥰 Certain hormones are known to help promote positive feelings, including happiness and pleasure and these are some very simple ways we can help our bodies to produce them!

🖐️ Ever wondered when your little one will pick a favourite hand?

⬇️ Here’s when hand dominance usually reveals itself - and why it matters!

0–12 months: No preference yet - babies are busy exploring with both hands.

1–2 years: You might spot a leaning, but it’s common to switch hands.

2–4 years: A consistent preference begins to shine through - drawing, feeding, playing.

By age 5–6: Most children in the UK show a clear dominant hand, just in time for primary school!

❓Did you know?

• Around 90% of people are right-handed

• Only 10% are lefties - and they’re more likely to be creative thinkers!

• True ambidexterity (using both hands equally well) is very rare - only about 1% of the population.

Top tip: If your child shows a very strong preference before age 1 - or avoids using one hand - it’s a good idea to check in with a health visitor or GP. Early support can make all the difference

What a wonderful and very emotional morning! Today with we donated our 180th defibrillator to a local Nursery and made the WithDean area heart safe 🙌❤️

The lovely Mayor attended for the presentation and the Defibrillator was placed outside the Nursery into a box that one of the dads had kindly fitted to the wall.

The children also made Beautiful thank you cards for myself, Connor‘s mum, and the mayor 🤗

Always so privileged to be part of this incredible charity ☺️

💛 Jaundice is a common condition in newborn babies and is usually harmless. It causes their skin and eyes to have a yellowish tint. It happens when there’s too much bilirubin, a yellow pigment, in the baby’s blood. Most babies develop jaundice within the first few days after birth, and it usually goes away on its own. Yellowing of the skin can be more difficult to see on brown or black skin. It is sometimes easier to see on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet.

Other symptoms include:
👉 Dark, yellow urine (a newborn’s urine should be colourless)
👉 Pale coloured poo (it should be yellow or orange)

💛 It happens because newborns have a high number of red blood cells that break down quickly, producing bilirubin. As their little livers are still maturing, they might not be able to remove bilirubin from the blood efficiently, leading to jaundice.
Jaundice is treated with:

💛 Phototherapy – a special type of light shines on the skin, which alters the bilirubin into a form that can be more easily broken down by the liver

💛 An exchange transfusion – where your baby’s blood is removed using a thin tube (catheter) placed in their blood vessels and replaced with blood from a matching donor; most babies respond well to treatment and can leave hospital after a few days

💛 It’s estimated 6 out of every 10 babies develop jaundice, including 8 out of 10 babies born prematurely before the 37th week of pregnancy.

💛 But only around 1 in 20 babies has a blood bilirubin level high enough to need treatment.

💛 You can find more info on the NHS website.

👍 TAG a parent-to-be who’ll find this helpful.

I taught a wonderful home class in Brighton this morning for three Mums and one Dad and they’re gorgeous six month old babies! They were super scrummy and so good despite the heat! 🤗

This group of NCT Friends are now more confident in dealing with choking, recognising meningitis and dealing with burns, bumps to the head and they know how to deliver CPR to an unconscious and not breathing Baby and Child. They also know how to put all ages into the recovery position ⛑️☺️

Now we’re off to see Odyssey in an air-conditioned cinema! 🍿
