🤰🏻 The exact cause of pre-eclampsia isn’t known however it’s thought it occurs when there’s a problem with the placenta.

‼️ Most people only experience mild symptoms but if it isn’t treated it can lead to serious complications for both mum and baby so it’s important it is diagnosed and monitored.

According to the NHS, the earlier symptoms of pre-eclampsia are present the more severe the condition will be.

Other factors that can slightly increase the risk include:

🌼 a family history of pre-eclampsia
🌼 if you’re aged over 40
🌼 it’s been more than 10 years since your last pregnancy
🌼 if you are expecting multiple babies
🌼 if your BMI is 35 or higher

If you have 2 or more of these together your chances are higher.

🚨 If you’re diagnosed with pre-eclampsia you’ll be referred to a specialist at hospital where they’ll do further tests to see how severe it is.

👶🏻 Pre-eclampsia will only be cured by giving birth to your baby, so you’ll be monitored closely until it’s possible to deliver your baby. You’ll need to attend regular appointments so you can be monitored and in severe cases you may need to be admitted to hospital.

👶🏻 Breath-holding is when a baby or child stops breathing for up to 1 minute and may faint. It can happen when a child is frightened, upset, angry, or has a sudden shock or pain. It’s usually harmless but can be scary for parents, particularly when it happens for the first time.

Breath-holding episodes:

✅ usually last for less than 1 minute (if the child faints, they'll usually regain consciousness within 1 or 2 minutes)
✅ are not epileptic seizures

🫶🏼 Your child is not doing it on purpose and cannot control what happens when they have a breath-holding episode.

Call 999 if:
🚑 faints and cannot be woken up
🚑 is shaking or jerking because of a fit
🚑 is blue or grey

‼️ These could be symptoms of breath-holding, but could also be related to other, more serious conditions. If a doctor has not previously told you it's breath-holding, it's important to get it checked immediately.

⚠️ See a GP if your child has already been diagnosed with breath-holding and:

🌼 has breath-holding episodes more often than before or the episodes seem worse
🌼 is stiff or shakes for longer than a minute and takes a while to recover
🌼 has breath-holding episodes that are affecting everyday life

❤️ The GP will try to find out if there's a more serious underlying condition. They may suggest an ECG to check your child's heart rhythm.

🧸 If your toddler throws the toy across the room, pours their water on the floor, or up ends the bowl of food you’ve just spent hours preparing, it’s not because they’re “naughty” — it’s because their brain is still very much under construction.

🧠 The part of the brain that controls impulses — the prefrontal cortex — isn’t fully developed until the mid-20s!

👶🏻 For small children, it’s like having a car with a powerful engine (big feelings!) but very weak brakes (self-control).

🧪 So when they act before they think, it’s not defiance — it’s biology.

Our job isn’t to expect perfection, but to teach, guide, and be the “borrowed brakes” until theirs get stronger.

🧘🏻‍♀️ Next time you see an impulsive moment, try this: pause, breathe, and remember — they’re learning how to steer.

🌼 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.

💤 Bedtime is the perfect opportunity to connect with your child and help encourage self-belief and self-love. When your child is facing a long night without you it’s a nice way to connect and be present before you say goodnight.

🥰 These are some lovely conversation starters to try.

🌍 Today is World IVF Day!

👶🏻 The birth of Louise Brown in 1978 was the start of a revolution in fertility treatment and her birthday – 25th July – has been known as World IVF Day ever since.

🙌🏼 It is estimated that since Louise Brown's birth over eight million babies have been born from IVF around the world.

🫶🏼 The journey to parenthood isn’t easy or straightforward for everyone and today is a chance to celebrate all the beautiful babies conceived via IVF and the incredible advances that have been made in fertility treatment over recent years.

✨ We’d also like to send love and strength to anyone who is on that journey now.
