🔷️ Baby vaccinations have changed… here’s what you need to know.

🔸️Vaccines protect your baby from a range of serious illnesses, safely and effectively. They’ve been used for many years and are one of the best ways we can keep little ones protected.

🔹️ There is no evidence of any link between vaccines and autism. This has been looked at in large, high-quality studies across the world.
The study from 1998 raised concerns about the MMR vaccine, which was found to be seriously flawed and later withdrawn, and the doctor involved is no longer allowed to practise medicine.

Even so, it understandably caused worry at the time and led to lower vaccination rates in some places.

🔸️There have been a few updates to how and when babies are vaccinated:
• Chickenpox is now included in the routine schedule
• A new 18-month appointment has been added
• Some vaccines are given at slightly different ages than before
• The MMR vaccine is now MMRV (includes chickenpox too)

🔶️ Your baby will be offered vaccines at 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 16 weeks, and 18 months.
All designed to protect them as early as possible.
🔹️ If you’re ever unsure or want to read more, it’s so important to use trusted sources like the NHS or WHO.
🔸️There’s a lot of misinformation online, and it can feel overwhelming. Your GP and health visitor will guide you every step of the way

🔷️ As many as 1-in-5 new mothers experience some type of perinatal mood and anxiety disorder (PMADs). These illnesses frequently go unnoticed and untreated, often with tragic and long-term consequences to both mother and child.

🔸️ It’s estimated that 7 in 10 women hide or downplay their symptoms. Without understanding, support, and treatment, these mental illnesses could have a devastating impact on the women affected and on their partners and families.

🔹️Women of every culture, age, income level, and race can develop perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Symptoms can appear any time during pregnancy and the first 12 months after childbirth. There are effective and well-researched treatment options available to help women recover.

🔸️Your mental health matters as much as your physical health. If you’re struggling, please know that you are not alone and there are people who can help you:

🔷️Would you know how to help a child having an asthma attack?

🔹️Asthma is a medical condition that affects the airways – the tubes that carry air in and out of the lungs. When someone has an asthma attack, these tubes become enflamed and narrowed, making it difficult to breathe in and out.

🔹️Someone having an asthma attack will have difficulty breathing and speaking and may cough and wheeze. They may be very anxious and distressed as they struggle to breathe. In serious cases, their lips and finger nails may turn greyish-blue because of a lack of oxygen in their body.

🔶️ If a child has an asthma attack, sit them up (do not lie them down), and help them to take their inhaler. They can take one or two puffs every 30 or 60 seconds up to 10 puffs.

🔸️A baby or child having an asthma attack should use a spacer to help them take their medication. A spacer, like the one pictured, is a hollow cylinder that attaches to an inhaler. It can help the child to take their medication more effectively.

Call 999 if they:
• are having their first attack
• stop breathing
• are finding it difficult to talk or make a noise
• are becoming exhausted
• aren’t helped by their inhaler
• don’t have any asthma medication with them
• get worse

🔷️ Tummy time helps your little one build the strength they need for rolling, sitting, crawling, and even walking later on! It also helps prevent flat spots on the back of their head.

🔸️ You can start from birth by laying your baby on your chest (just make sure you’re wide awake and not as risk of falling asleep). Gradually build it up day by day, and when they’re ready, move tummy time to the floor!

🔹️Tummy time helps strengthen your baby’s back, neck, and shoulders — and gives them a whole new view of the world!

🔶️ Baby not loving tummy time yet? Don’t worry, that’s completely normal!

🔸️Here are a few ways to make it easier:
- Lay baby on your chest or lap
- Sing, talk, and play during tummy time
- Place toys within easy reach
- Use a small rolled-up towel under their arms for support
- Try a little bit every day and build up slowly — your baby will get stronger and more confident before you know it!
