🌸 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:
Child 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.

🌸 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.

🐝 Have you noticed the wasps becoming more of a nuisance recently?

🐝 We’re likely to see a lot more of them around this year.

🐝 The warm weather we’ve had means the queens wake earlier and start nesting sooner which gives the colonies more time to grow resulting in larger populations.

🐝 Wasps are more active in warm conditions and hot summers mean faster egg-laying, more workers and bigger colonies.

🐝 Warm weather also boost insect number which are a key food source for wasps.

🐝 You’ll see more wasps around in August and September when the workers switch from hunting insects to seeking food elsewhere (ie our drinks and food).

🐝 Here’s what you can do to reduce numbers where you are:
- Cover bins and compost
- Keep sugary drinks and food sealed when you’re outdoors
- Don’t swat – this releases a pheromone that can alert other wasps

🔺If your child gets stung:
• put an ice pack wrapped in a cloth, or a clean cloth soaked in cold water, on the bite or sting for at least 20 minutes if it's swollen
• keep the area raised if you can
• take painkillers such as paracetamol or ibuprofen if the sting is painful
• use antihistamines to relieve any itching
• use a hydrocortisone cream to reduce itching and swelling (ask a pharmacist for advice)
• Watch for signs of a serious allergic reaction
