19.01.2022 1 in 30 children between the ages of 6 months to 6 years, will experience a febrile convulsion. So they are more common than you think. A febrile convulsion is a type of seizure caused by a sudden rise in body temperature. We want to really emphasise that febrile convulsions are not caused by high temperatures, rather they are caused by the rapid spike in temperature. Most febrile convulsions will last for only seconds to several minutes. Febrile convulsions can be absolutel...y terrifying to witness, but please be comforted in knowing that they are not harmful to your child. Febrile convulsions do not cause brain damage, or increase the risk of epilepsy or other seizure disorders. So how do you prevent or stop them? Unfortunately you can’t. Giving medicines such as Paracetamol or Ibuprofen, will not prevent a febrile convulsion, nothing will. WHAT YOU CAN DO: + Try & stay as calm as possible (we know how hard this first step can be). + Call 000. If this is your child’s first febrile convulsion, please call an ambulance. If it is not your child’s first febrile convulsion, please follow your doctors advice. + Keep your child safe, ensure they’re on a soft surface on their side or back. + Start timing the convulsion & take note of what your child is doing (are just their arms jerking, what is their mouth doing, are their eyes flickering?) + After the seizure is finished, ensure they are on their side until they are completely awake. If you think of it at the time, record your child with your phone as this will show doctors exactly what the seizure looked like and how long it lasted. WHAT NOT TO DO: + Do not put anything in their mouth, including your fingers. + Do not try to give them medications or place them in a cool bath to try to lower their temperature+ Do not restrain them Please always follow your medical practitioners advice. Has your child had a febrile convulsion? Please share your experiences below in the comments Febrile convulsions are just one of the topics we cover in our baby & child first aid classes.

16.01.2022 Once your little ones are on the move, life sure does change! The days are gone when you could just place them in a safe area & know they’ll stay there! Once they’re rolling & crawling around the place, it’s a whole new ball game! They will spy every single safety hazard in the house and if we are not careful, they could put themselves in quite significant danger. It is a fact that our homes are the most common locations where children are injured! Something we encourage a...ll our parents to do before their little one is on the move... Get down on your hands & knees, & look at the world from their perspective! Crawl around into every room of your home & make note of all the safety hazards you see! It is amazing what you will find when you get down to their level, things that you wouldn’t have otherwise seen walking around your home! The little guy in this clip has baby proofers as parents!

15.01.2022 #tinybatteriesbigdanger Button batteries are deadly & are lurking everywhere in your home... + remote controls e.g Apple TV & car remotes... + watches + kitchen scales + birthday cards + children's toys + hearing aids + flameless candles + reading lights + calculators Every week, around 20 Australian children present to emergency departments following exposure to button batteries, including ingestions and insertions. That is over 1000 children every year! If your little one was to swallow a button battery, this not only poses a very real choking risk, but also these batteries can cause life threatening injuries & even death with just hours. Often we won’t even realise our little one has swallowed the battery. Once we do, it can be too late. PREVENTION IS KEY! We urge you to please look around your home and if you find anything with a button battery in it, ensure it is screwed closed and secure. If it isn't, throw it out. Please keep button batteries out of reach. Or even better, if spare button batteries aren’t a necessity in your home, just don’t have them there. Please, tag & share with everyone! With Christmas fast approaching, this is a lifesaving reminder for everyone. www.kidsaver.com.au

11.01.2022 There has been a dramatic 25% fall in swimming lesson enrolments in September 2020 compared with the same time last year.

06.01.2022 If your baby is 3 months or younger and has a fever, you should seek medical attention immediately, even if they are not showing any other signs of being sick. This is becausebabies immune systems under 3 months of age, are still developingand are more vulnerable to infection. Generally it is not the actual temperature we are worried about so much, it is the fact that a temperature could indicate your young baby has an infection. And babies younger than 3 months old may not be able to fight off an infection as easily as older children and they can become sick much more quickly.

06.01.2022 Our hearts go out to Noah and his family. We are so sorry for your loss of your beautiful little boy Meningococcal disease is rare, but it can be devastating. It can be extremely difficult to spot, even for health care professionals. This is why as paediatric nurses, meningococcal disease is something we think about in any sick child. ... It can occur at any age, however babies & children are more at risk with the highest incidence of meningococcal in babies under 12 months of age. Sometimes meningococcal can just begin with what seems like a common cold, like a fever and irritability, but can rapidly progress to being critically unwell. If not diagnosed & treated quickly, death can occur within 24 hours. Know the signs in babies & children: + Fever + Irritability + Refusal to eat + Difficulty waking or extreme tiredness + Vomiting + Pale, grey or blotchy skin + Cold hands & feet + Sensitivity to light + High pitched moanjng cry (in babies) + A bulging fontanelle, which is the soft spot on top of their head (in babies) Meningococcal rash: The distinctive rash is an advanced symptom of meningococcal which may or may not occur. This rash is non-blanching which means it does not fade when you press on it. It is important that you don’t wait for this rash to appear before seeking medical attention. If your child has a fever and rash, and you are worried, please have them reviewed by a doctor. ALWAYS TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. There are immunisations available to help protect children against the most common meningococcal strains. Speak to your GP if you are interested in knowing more and would like to have your child immunised.
