Bruises can heal, a child without oxygen for 4 minutes can’t. Let us teach you choking first aid ❤️ #chokingfirstaid

Calm. Quick to act. Life saver.⁠ ⁠ Words that describe this mama in what would have been an incredibly scary situation.⁠ ⁠ This mama did a Tiny Hearts First Aid course and knew exactly what choking looked like and how to help her child. ⁠ ⁠ If you are a parent-to-be or have a little one about to start solids, knowing first aid for your child is the most important investment you're going to make #chokingfirstaid #chokingbaby #chokingonfood

My top 5 rules for my kids after being a paramedic! #paramedic #babyfirstaid #5rules

If choking treatment fails we need to start CPR 💔 you have 4 minutes to clear their airway before this happens.

Every parent should be prepared for a choking emergency 🚨

The more people ‘watching’ the greater the risk

For 12 years m I’ve been helping parents keep their little ones safe through Baby First Aid. Follow along for more parenting confidence 🫶

Don’t kiss babies 💔 Send a mesaage around before baby areives letting everyone know your newborn rules and then enforce them - wven if ita uncomfotable youd rather 1 uncomfortable comverstion than nights in hospital with yiur newborn. Advocate for them, you are their voice ❤️

Fever but no pain or discomfort = no meds ❤️

BEFORE you reach for honey or jam 👇 🚑 Call 000 if child has any breathing difficulties ☎️ Call 13 11 26 if child is stable (poison information line) 🐝 > 1 year give 10ml of honey every 10 minutes on the way to hospital 🍓 6-12 months give 10ml of jam every 10 minutes on the way to hospital If you don't have honey or jam, don't delay - go straight to hospital. Your child being seen by a doctor is the priority Research shows honey can make a significant difference in reducing damage, buying time for surgery and minimising long-term harm. Children under 1 shouldn't have honey do to the rare risk of infant botulism; jam has been shown to be a good second option.

What to do if your baby drowns 💔

One minute she was playing and the next she had undone the gate and gone down all the stairs! (PS I had looked over and seen her safely at the bottom before recording this to show my husband)

Mistakes I saw parents make in my time as a paramedic 🚑

Replying to @Sunnys When a childs airway is completely blocked you have a matter of minutes to unblock it before they will become unconscious.. without treatment the child will die. This is why we must give hard back blows remembering we are trying to dislodge something stuck right down in the airway. A bruise will heal, a child who is choking will not without proper treatment ❤️ great question xx
