CHANGE TO GUIDELINES ⚠️ ⚠️ Button battery ingestion is a medical emergency and the guidelines have recently changed - best practice based on research and trials now indicate the use of honey in a suspected button battery ingestion.
Many parents are surprised to learn that a swallowed button battery can cause severe internal burns in as little as 2 hours.
When a button battery becomes lodged in the oesophagus, it creates an electrical current that can rapidly damage surrounding tissue—even if your child initially seems well.
🚑 If you suspect a button battery has been swallowed:
• Seek urgent medical attention immediately.
• Do not wait for symptoms to develop.
• If the person is over 12 months old and able to swallow, ANZCOR recommends giving 2 teaspoons (10mL) of honey every 10 minutes while travelling to medical care.
• Do not delay seeking emergency treatment while doing this.
• Give nothing else by mouth.
👣 Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease is doing the rounds again!
HFMD is a common viral illness that can cause fever, mouth ulcers, and a rash or blisters on the hands, feet, and sometimes the bottom. While it usually resolves on its own, it can make little ones feel pretty miserable.
💧 Encourage fluids
🧼 Wash hands regularly
🏠 Keep children home from childcare or school if they’re unwell
👀 Watch for signs of dehydration
Most children recover within 7–10 days, but good hygiene is key to helping stop the spread.

🌡️ Febrile convulsions: here are the facts!
👉🏼 There is NOTHING you can do to prevent them
👉🏼 If your child has one, there no evidence to suggest they will occur every time your child has a fever
👉🏼 They rarely cause brain damage
👉🏼 They occur in children because their brains are extremely sensitive to rapid changes in body temperature
Please remember, do not put anything inside someone’s mouth during a seizure.

Babies and children are bound to fall and hit their head when learning to roll, crawl and walk - even more so as they get older and more adventurous with their play.
Most head injuries and falls are mild. However if your child falls from a height (more than twice their own height) please follow these rules :
🛑 DO NOT move them - unless in a position of danger ie on the road
🛑 DO NOT give anything to eat or drink - until they have been cleared by a medical professional
🛑 DO NOT attempt to realign any injuries or limbs
🛑 DO NOT shake or attempt to vigorously wake up a child who may be drowsy or unconscious
