Stay safe in hot weather – remember to keep cool and look out for others who are more vulnerable to the heat, such as babies, young children, older people and those with underlying health conditions.

Remember to:

💧 Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water

🌡️ Make sure babies, children, older people and pets are not left in small, closed spaces – like stationary cars – as these can get hot very quickly

☀️ Look out for signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke

If you are concerned about symptoms, or they are worsening, seek medical advice by contacting 111.

For more hot weather advice, including what to do if you suspect heat exhaustion or heat stroke, visit NHS inform 🔽

Self-feeding pillows can be deadly. That’s because the baby can’t push the bottle away, so can choke or suffer aspiration pneumonia.

Your baby needs you with them while they are feeding, so you can react if they start gagging or choking.

An urgent safety alert was issued for baby self-feeding pillows in 2022. But you can still buy them online.

Please avoid using anything that encourages you to leave your baby alone to feed with a propped-up bottle. And warn family and friends too.

And for tips on feeding multiples safely visit Twins Trust: https://twinstrust.org/advice-and-support/first-year/feeding-three-babies-at-once/ Alternatively, your health visitor or midwife may be able to offer advice on different feeding strategies.
