First Aid for Littlies is a baby/toddler first aid course designed especially for parents, grandparents and caregivers.
How do you know if your baby is unwell? When do you need to see a doctor? When should you call an ambulance?
Learn about the many day-to-day concerns of every parent including fevers, coughs and colds, tummy upsets, concussion, burns, allergic reactions, as well as the major emergencies of choking and baby CPR.
Plus tips on car seats and making your home and garden safe for littlies.
Questions during courses are very much encouraged - this is the perfect time to get all those doubts and concerns resolved.
There’s a handy booklet full of information as well - posted out to you if you do the course via Zoom.
This is a practical, child-focused First Aid Course run by a former Ambulance Paramedic, experienced First Aid Instructor, and Mum to two gorgeous boys.
“If you've ever sat by your baby's cot at two in the morning wondering what you should be doing, this course is for you.”
About First Aid First Ltd
Sarah Thompson founded First Aid First Ltd in 2008.
“It was having children which made me realise how little information is out there, on the practical medical side of caring for a family. As a former ambulance paramedic and first aid instructor, and with a partner who is also a paramedic, we thought we had the medical side of having children covered.
Certainly, we knew how to do CPR, we knew exactly what to do if our baby choked, and we knew how to handle all the "big" things like burns, severe bleeding, allergic reactions, etc. But when our one-week-old baby came down with a cold, we were painfully short on ideas as to how best to ease his symptoms and alleviate his discomfort.
After talking to other parents, I realised just how many things scare parents, from fevers to tummy upsets to bumps on the head. And so, in consultation with numerous friends, family, medics, and other parents, I put together
First Aid for Littlies, a course specifically designed for parents, to answer those very many questions and to debunk some of those medical myths.
Naturally, having two young children has helped to keep the courses realistic!”
