Expecting a little one this July?

Their birthstone is the radiant ruby (possible name inspo?), and their birth flowers are the delicate larkspur and the serene water lily.

They’ll be either a caring Cancer or a bold Leo, depending on when they arrive.

Did you know you can learn vital first aid skills from the comfort of your own sofa?

At Daisy First Aid we know it can be difficult leaving the house with little ones, so why not let us come to you!

We also know that making first aid can make some people nervous, so why not do it in your own environment with family and friends.

Invite friends, grandparents, aunties, uncles and anyone else who might be helping out with childcare!

We do ask for a minimum of four to run.

As the weather becomes warmer we wanted to remind parents that slushies are NOT recommended for children under 8 years.

Researchers have suggested that children under 8 years should avoid these drinks due to concerns that it could lead to glycerol intoxication. Glycerol is a sweetener, which is used to stop slushies from freezing completely.

Slushies were in the news earlier this year due to a number of children requiring emergency treatment after consuming them. Doctors said the children had "glycerol intoxication syndrome" and were affected in a variety of ways:

- most lost consciousness and showed signs of low sugar and high acidity in the blood.

- four needed brain scans

- one had a seizure

The children all recovered and were discharged from hospital but it’s being suggested that young children under 8 years should avoid drinking slushies because their smaller bodies can't handle large doses of glycerol, making them more prone to the toxic effects. The current Food Standards Agency (FSA) advice is not to give slushies to children under 4.

The FSA stated that ‘while the symptoms of glycerol intoxication are usually mild, it is important that parents are aware of the risks – particularly at high levels of consumption’.

Always be cautious of sugary drinks and monitor for signs of discomfort after consumption.

Please be careful with garden hoses in this heat

Today temperatures are reaching around 35°C in many areas of the UK, and while spraying the kids with a hose feels like the perfect way to cool down, there is something every parent needs to know.

A hose left lying in the sun can heat the water inside to dangerous temperatures.

When you first turn it on, that water can be hot enough to cause serious burns, especially on delicate baby and young children’s skin.

We know this image is hard to look at but we’re sharing it to raise awareness.

Before spraying children with a hose:

- Always run the water for a few minutes first until it is cool
- Test the temperature with your hand before letting it near children
- Never leave a hose full of water sitting in direct sunlight
- Remember that babies and young children have much more sensitive skin and can burn at lower temperatures

Enjoy the sunshine, keep cool, and take those extra few seconds to make sure water play stays safe.

Please share this post to raise awareness.

When the weather gets really hot, babies can be more vulnerable because they aren’t able to regulate their temperature as well as adults. So it’s helpful to know the signs that your baby may be struggling with the heat.

Every baby is different, and you know your baby best. Knowing what’s normal for your little one is important. If you’re worried or something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and seek medical advice.

Stay cool, little ones!
