From your words, to your actions – they'll copy everything you do, including your screen use habits.

Try to be mindful of how often you use screens around your little ones.

When you’re stocking up on treats this Halloween please remember that some sweets can be dangerous for little ones.

Lollipops, hard sweets and mini eggs in particular can pose a serious choking risk. They’re the perfect size to completely block a child’s airway. So please pick another treat.

Add flu protection to your half-term plans.

If your child missed their flu vaccine at school, catch-up clinics are taking place in community venues over this break — including libraries, sports halls and even bowling alleys.

Children aged 2 and 3 can also get vaccinated at their GP surgery or a participating pharmacy.

The safest cot for a baby is a clear cot. That means removing anything that isn’t essential. Babies need just two items in their cot:
👶 A firm, flat, waterproof mattress.
👶 Lightweight bedding.

It’s important to remove anything that isn’t essential because items such as toys, blankets and bumpers could cover their face and obstruct their breathing.
