We've had some really hot weather last month and fingers crossed a lovely summer ahead of us but .........

💧💧How much water should my child drink? 💧💧

Answer: EVERY child is different. Different factors will mean some children will need more or less than the guidance of 6-8 cups of water a day. Factors include age, weather, how much physical activity they may have done and whether they have a medical condition

Small children will generally need smaller cups than older children too!

Under 5’s use a 120 - 150ml cup - 6 years and above use a 250ml - 300ml cup

If you struggle to get water in to your child get creative!

Can you make some ice lollies? Offer fruits that have lots of water like melon, strawberries, peaches and blackberries, but be cautious of the sugar content for the teeth 🍓🍑🍡

Try funky cups and leaving lots of them around to encourage more drinking!

If possible try to avoid high in sugar drinks but small amounts of fruit juice (up to 150ml per day) or squash may encourage more fluid intake on hot days!

Good luck 😘

From 6 months babies can have small sips of water from a cup or beaker when eating

Under 6 months breastfed babies do not need water but may want to feed more frequently when hot, formula fed babies may need small sips of water during hot weather 🌞🥤

They provide fantastic easy to follow resources to help you learn alongside your little people, head to their social media or website to have a look at everything they do

Some of the topics they cover include:

Fire
Burns
Toy Safety
Poisoning
Falls
Road Safety

We will, as always, be sharing information on many different topics on a Friday for you to keep safe ⛑️🚑

It’s so hard fitting an exercise routine in when you have just had a baby

When you're tired the last thing you want to do is be active but exercising can give you more energy, help you sleep and help you relax

It can help with postnatal recovery both physically and mentally

When you can start exercising will depend on your type of birth, if everything was straightforward, as soon as you feel ready you can start gentle stretching, walking and tummy and pelvic floor exercises

It is recommended to wait until at least 6 weeks to start any high impact exercise

If you had a complicated or operative delivery you must recover fully from this first

After pregnancy your ligaments and joints are much more stretchy and your core and abdominal muscles will be much weaker so it is important not to overdo it when first starting. Your postnatal bleeding may increase following exercise, this can be a sign that you are overdoing it so listen to your body

Some people enjoy exercising at home whilst others like a class, there are lots of classes offering postnatal exercise and some where you can take your baby along with you

If you have recommendations for classes in your area please give them a shoutout in the comments for other mums who might be nervous to get started

Exercise is fantastic for boosting your mental health particularly after having a baby when you might be sleep deprived

Some family hubs offer pram walks to get together and meet other parents – check out their pages for information

Swimming is a great postnatal exercise and is something you can do together with your baby as they get older – check out your local leisure centre

Whatever you decide to do try to find something you enjoy, it can be a great way to meet others and spend some time on you

When preparing foods be aware of the size, shape and texture that you are giving when you are starting your weaning journey

Some foods can be more problematic than others so try to make them safer where possible. It can also be a little bit trial and error as some children will find certain foods easier than others 🥑 is super slippery and maybe hard for little hands to hold!

To make these foods safer we can prepare them in a way that reduces the risk of choking. Never cut foods into circular pieces - for example sausages and carrots

As a guide:
🍎 Remove tough skins, pips, seeds and peels to start
Cut into long thin pieces - aim for around the size of your index finger - this makes foods easier to grip before the pincer grip has developed
🥦 Cook raw hard foods so that they are soft enough for you to easily break them down when you pinch them between your finger and thumb
🍇 When offering circular foods like grapes, cherry tomatoes or large olives chop them lengthways into quarters

Supporting our babies to feed themselves encourages independence and confidence

Join our Online First Aid For Weaning session and hear about a range of foods and how to make them safer

It’s live so you can ask questions too!

Most new parents have a constant supply of nappy sacks, in the changing bag, in the bedroom, in the living room, in the car, the list is endless – that fresh smelling bag to dispose of the stinky contents!

Essentially we are surrounding the areas we take care of our baby with carrier bags!

The difference with nappy bags is that they are much thinner and make less noise so if your baby got hold of one you may not notice straight away – they are so thin that if caught over your babies face it can easily be inhaled – they are usually individual rather than on a roll so easier to grasp

Babies under 6 months are most at risk of suffocation from nappy sacks as they put everything in their mouths but don’t know how to take them out. There is also a choking risk in addition to suffocation

Make sure nappy sacks are always out of reach and hard to grab, just as you would a carrier bag. Don’t be tempted to push a few down the side of the bed, sofa or car seat to have them in easy reach

Asphyxia (including choking and strangulation) is the third most common cause of death in children. It only takes a few minutes !!!!

A dog can be a wonderful addition to a family but it’s important that we follow safety advice around children

Last year over 1,700 children were admitted to hospital with dog bites. Children age 0-4 are most likely to be bitten by a dog with 80% caused by a dog known to them

Dogs who are calm and happy are less likely to react

Make sure your dog has a safe space and ensure children respect that space and leave the dog alone

Make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise

Never leave children and dogs together unsupervised and separate them with a physical barrier, such as a safety gate, if you notice any change in behaviour from either

Teach your child there are certain times to leave the dog alone such as sleeping, eating and if they are playing with their favourite toy

If you have your dog before your baby you can help prepare your dog by putting the baby items in the house before they arrive so your dog can smell them, play baby sounds to get them used to the noise, when introducing them give your dog treats for calm behaviour

The Dogs Trust and RSPCA say the essentials are close supervision and understanding your dogs body language, teaching children that dogs don’t always want to be hugged ❤️

If a bite happens, wash the wound thoroughly under running water and cover with a sterile dressing. If the bite is severe it should be seen by a health professional to check if stitches are needed or a tetanus

We know how difficult it can be rushing from one place to the next trying to squeeze in everything you need to do, but one thing you really need to take a few moments break for, is feeding your baby

Often we see babies in their pushchairs munching away on a delicious snack but today we are are highlighting that usually, ‘Choking is silent!’

If you can’t see your baby eating you may not notice that they are having difficulty which is why we must never give our baby a snack in their car seat 🚗

Take time out, supervise snack time and have a few minutes having fun together with your baby 👶🏼😍
