Hot drinks are the leading cause of burns to children in the UK*

We are so grateful to Laura and Gracie and family for sharing their story to show just how easily and quickly a hot drink accident can happen. A child can grab or knock over a drink in seconds and how you react and deal with the incident can have a lasting impact.

Gracie's family had taken a Mini First Aid class with Emily Mini First Aid Warwickshire, Coventry, Tamworth & Lutterworth - their learning had stuck and they did all the right things, and now Gracie is a thriving toddler with no visible burn scars.

You can read Gracie's story in full on our blog this week 💚

⚠️ Save this post! If you are wondering how you should dress your baby for sleep in hot temperatures this summer, check out this guide and save this post to refer back to🌡️

Babies and toddlers under 12 months old are not able to regulate their temperature very well, this function develops as they grow. All babies/toddlers are different and will begin to regulate their body temperatures at different stages so you will figure out what is right for your child.

Remember to touch the back of their neck with the back of your hand to assess body temp rather than checking their hands or feet. The neck should feel warm. If the baby feels hot or his/her skin is damp from sweating, remove some of the bedding. A normal temperature in babies and children is about 36.4C (NHS)

Use layers of clothing with a sleeping bag or lightweight blanket, that can be easily removed or added, while you try to find the right combination. If using a blanket or sheet, follow The Lullaby Trust guidance on placing baby on their back with their feet at the end of their cot or Moses basket, so they can’t wriggle down under their bedding, and ensure the blanket/sheet is tucked in firmly and not above shoulder height.

For older children, the guidance about ideal room temperature is largely the same.

Thank you to The Lullaby Trust for this guidance 💚

If your child has any of the signs or symptoms of diabetes, you should take them straight to the doctor and ask for a blood glucose test.

The most common symptoms of type 1 diabetes in children are:

🚽 Toilet: Going to the toilet a lot to pass urine, bed wetting by a previously dry child or heavier nappies in babies. Getting up in the night to go to the toilet.
💦 Thirsty: Being really thirsty and not being able to quench the thirst. Your child may ask for a drink more often, finish drinks very quickly or you may notice they generally drink more.
💤 Tired: Feeling more tired than usual. Having less energy than normal, not playing as often, less energy for sports
🪞 Thinner: Losing weight or looking thinner than usual.

You may also notice your child getting more infections than usual.

Type 1 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes in children. Symptoms tend to come on within a matter of days or weeks and you should get urgent medical help if you notice any of these symptoms.

The symptoms of type 2 diabetes in children are the same as they are for type 1 diabetes, but they may be less obvious and develop more slowly, for example over weeks or months but you may still notice them.

Please see your GP as quickly as possible if you suspect your child may be struggling with this condition. A quick and simple finger-prick test can help identify high blood sugar levels. If diabetes is suspected, your GP will refer your child to a specialist diabetes team or hospital for further assessment, and further tests will be carried out to help confirm the diagnosis.

For lots more information directly from Diabetes UK check out Episode 12 of the Family Health Podcast where we do a deep dive into this condition, including what to look out for, what to do and what you can expect if your child gets a diabetes diagnosis. 💚
