This week's episode of The Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast may just save your child's life. When it comes to the safety of our little ones there really is nothing more important.

Many accidents and incidents actually occur in and around the home. This makes sense when we spend the majority of the time at home when our babies and children are little. In this week's episode of The Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast we welcome our First Aid Expert Nicole Gleeson from Rhythm First Aid talk us through First Aid Basics.

In this episode we discuss:

- The signs of a very unwell child

- How do you know when you should visit your GP or go to the hospital

- Why a hands-on First Aid Course is so vital

We discuss common injuries that can happen in the home and what first aid is required if the unfathomable happens, such as:

- Burns

- Ingestion of a substance

- Cuts and grazes

- Bumps, falls and broken bones

- Choking

- Bites and stings
