New winter guide for parents packed with tips to keep young children safe and healthy
The booklet is packed full of tips and information on how to keep little ones healthy, what to do if they become unwell, and the best place to go for expert advice and help. With many families facing the challenge of rising costs this winter, it also includes details on how to find a food back and where to go with money worries.
The nine-page guide, titled ‘3 Steps to Keep Healthy and Safe this Winter’, has been created by Greater Manchester Integrated Care.
It offers tips on everything from putting a first aid kit together, to being aware of common illnesses, and the best room temperature for sleeping babies – plus the latest advice on Strep A.
The booklet also highlights that many parents or carers can get free food and vitamins for young children if they qualify for a Healthy Start Card – thousands of vitamins are waiting to be claimed in Greater Manchester!
It also has clear instructions to help parents and carers decide whether to take their child to their pharmacy, GP or hospital if they become unwell.
