Baby First Aid for Parents

Grandparents and Carers

As parents, keeping our children safe and healthy is the most important part of our lives.

But even in the safety of the home, accidents can happen, and it only takes a second for disaster to strike.

Knowing what to do in these situations can be the difference between life and death. It’s something I hope you’ll never have to use; but baby first aid is something every parent, grandparent, babysitter, and carer should learn.

My course only takes around 3 hours, so can be completed in a morning, afternoon, or evening. Consider this: learning to drive takes around 50 hours, but learning to save a life takes only three. First aid training is truly priceless and this course has saved lives.

 

The Importance of Baby First Aid

 

Emergencies are unpredictable, and having the skills to respond promptly can prevent further injury and even save lives. Something as simple as treating a burn or knowing how to keep an airway clear is essential while you wait for an ambulance.

First aid is not about replacing the emergency services, it is about how you can help whilst waiting for them to arrive. First aid in those vital minutes may save a life.

My professionally taught course is not just about acquiring knowledge; it’s about gaining peace of mind. By completing this simple 3-hour course, you are taking a proactive step in safeguarding your family’s well-being and will learn how to make that dreaded feeling of helplessness a thing of the past.

I specialise in group training courses. This means that you and your family can all learn together. If you all have the necessary first aid skills, your home will become a lot safer.

What does a Baby First Aid Course Include?

My courses may only take a few hours, but teach you as many first aid skills as possible with practical demonstrations and immersive training.
Here is what I cover:

CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation): Techniques for babies, children, and adults.

Choking: Procedures for all ages.

Recovery Position: Instructions for everyone.

Burns and Scalds: Immediate treatment steps.

Insect Bites & Stings: Management and care.

Severe Allergic Reactions & Anaphylaxis: Emergency response.

Meningitis: Recognition and initial steps.

Raised Temperatures & Fevers: Handling and reducing risks.

Febrile Convulsions: Management and care.

Bleeding: Control and treatment.

Bumps & Head Injuries: Appropriate response.

Poisoning: Emergency actions.

Plus many other essential skills that could save a child’s life.

A large portion of the skills you’ll learn are transferable for other emergency situations. Although focused on first aid for babies and young children, my courses cover as many bases as possible, so you can use what you’ve learned in the future.

To make sure the courses stay with you, I make them as practical as they can be. I will always bring at least 9 manikins, ensuring ample opportunity for participants to practice essential skills without waiting.

Baby First Aid Course at Home with your friends and Family are very popular.

Over the last 15+ years, I’ve taught countless parents, grandparents, carers, and babysitters how to do first aid on young children. One of the most important things I realised early on is that learning at home is crucial.

I understand that not everyone wants a strict ‘classroom’ environment, especially with babies and small children. We’re more comfortable at home, and it makes it easier to learn in a familiar environment.

Your schedule is often hectic, especially when you have young children to take care of, so I save you the hassle by bringing the course to you.
You won’t be missing out on quality either, I always bring at least 9 manakins to learn with, plenty for you and your family. Speaking of which…

 

Group Baby First Aid Course at Home

 

Everybody learns better in groups, especially a practical topic like first aid. Having a Baby First Aid Course at Home parents, relatives and friends are inclined to ask questions & feel more comfortable asking questions and having a go the manikkins.

I specialise in group first aid training, so you can learn alongside your family, friends, babysitters, and anyone else you trust to take care of your children. Providing home classes enables me to be flexible to your needs.

You choose the time to suit your family, rather than a set time when I hold courses in a location that can be tricky to get to. They can be in the morning, afternoon, or evening all in the comfort of your living room.

Don’t worry, I won’t set up a presentation and ask you to sit quietly for 3 hours. My course mostly consists of practical activities, using the manikins to simulate the exact scenarios we discuss. Everything you learn will be backed up with the latest statistics and research, and each household will be given lots of useful handouts and a 72-page full colour Paediatric First aid Book, worth £7.99 (per household) – There’s no need to write notes!

Learning alongside family doesn’t just make the course more memorable, it makes it enjoyable too! Baby first aid may be a serious topic, and I never make light of it, but my courses are still bonding experiences that are a lot of fun.
