Happy Easter to all our customers. 🐣
Hope your day is filled with chocolate, bunnies, and all the egg-citement you can handle!
Thanks for being part of our journey.

We hope the Easter bunny delivers you all lots of tasty treats this weekend.

If mini eggs (of any brand) are among your haul please remember that these they pose a serious choking hazard to small children. They are the perfect size to block a child's airway.
So, what can you do?

1. Hide them from the children and eat them yourself - good luck with that!

2. Break them into small pieces with a rolling pin. Or, crush them in a pestle and mortar. Or melt them a little tirst.

3. Opt for a different treat. Larger, hollow eggs are much safer for little ones.

Do you know the difference between gagging and choking?

Let's clear up a common misconception! Gagging and choking are NOT the same.

✅ Gagging is a natural reflex that helps prevent choking by pushing objects away from the a baby's airway. It's your baby's response of protecting their airway.

You will know your baby is gagging when their mouth is open wide, their tongue thrusting forward and they are making sounds such as coughing and retching. It is best to leave your baby in their high chair and let them work it out.

❌ On the other hand, choking occurs when an object gets lodged in the airway and blocks airflow, which can be life-threatening.
Your baby will be silent.

⛑️ If someone is choking, quick action is crucial. We recommend all parents take a Baby First Aid course before staring solids.

⁉️Did you know peanuts may be introduced as soon as baby is ready for weaning, which is generally around 4- 6 months of age.

Whole peanuts, chopped peanuts,
and peanut butter are choking hazards for babies and children, so make sure to know how to prepare them safely ⬇️⬇️

UK researchers say peanut allergy could plummet by 77% if peanut products were added to all babies’ diets at four to six months of age.

Peanut allergy has seen a three-fold increase in recent decades. It now affects around one in 50 children in the UK.
However, there is increasing evidence that eating peanut products from an early age can reduce the risk of allergy and help reverse this trend.

Now, a new study has gone even further to assess the best time to introduce the allergen into babies’ diets, identifying a clear ‘window of opportunity’ between four and six months of age depending on the child’s health.

Overall, the data found that introducing peanut products into all babies’ diets by six months could reduce peanut allergy across the population by up to 77%.
Waiting to introduce the peanut products until 12 months of age would lead to only a 33% reduction.

🛁 Safe Bathing Tips for Babies 👶💛

Bath time can be fun, relaxing, and a great bonding moment — but baby safety always comes first. Here are a few simple tips to keep your little one safe during every bath:

✅ Never leave your baby unattended — not even for a second.
✅ Check the water temperature (aim for warm, not hot — around 37°C / 98°F).
✅ Use only a small amount of water (2–3 inches is enough for infants).
✅ Keep one hand on your baby at all times for support.
✅ Gather everything before starting (towel, soap, clean clothes, diaper).
✅ Use a non-slip mat to prevent slipping in the tub.
✅ Avoid strong soaps — choose gentle, baby-safe products.
✅ Keep bath time short (5–10 minutes is perfect).

✨ A safe bath is a happy bath!
Always stay close, stay prepared, and enjoy the cuddles after. 🍼🧼💕
