Household Safety

Young children learn by exploring. Young children don't have an understanding of danger so there are a few key steps you should implement around your home to ensure their safety.

First Aid for Children

Familiarise yourself with basic first aid skills to be able to act in the case of an accident or your child becomes unwell.

Car Seats

When choosing a new child seat, it is essential to ensure that it fits in your car (or cars if you use it in more than one) and is suitable for your child's weight and height.

Child Safety and Prevention

Useful information to help you keep your children and young people safe such as guidance on car seats, first aid and safe sleep.

Baby's Sleep

Your baby will have their own pattern of waking and sleeping, and it's unlikely to be the same as other babies you know. Find advice on baby sleeping habits and routines.

Introducing Solid Food

Introducing your baby to solid foods, sometimes called complementary feeding or weaning, should start when your baby is around 6 months old.

Weaning and Feeding

Feeding your baby can feel quite overwhelming at first – whether you are breastfeeding, bottle feeding or a combination of both, there is lots of guidance to support you.

Bottle Feeding

If you've decided to bottle feed, you may be worried about what formula to buy, what equipment you'll need and how to get the hang of feeding your baby when everything is so new.

Breastfeeding

Feeding your baby on the breast or with a bottle can take some practice. There are lots of guidance and tips offering techniques to help. Moving on to solid foods needs some careful planning and guidance on drinks, meal ideas and food safety can be useful to know.

Being Active

When you're feeling tired, being active may seem like the last thing you want to do. But regular activity for you and your baby can relax you both, support and maintain good health.
