What Are Baby First Aid Classes?
Learning First Aid can be scary at the best of times. It can feel even scarier when you have a tiny baby in your arms and are imagining all the things that could potentially harm them.
A Baby First Aid class can help to empower you with the skills and knowledge to know how to help your little one in an emergency. Baby First Aid classes are taught in a relaxed and friendly environment and can be a lot of fun! You’ll talk about some pretty serious subjects but there’s no reason you can’t have fun while you learn.
You won’t hear any scary horror stories in a Baby First Aid class. But you’ll learn practical skills and information as well as gaining the confidence to know what to do in an emergency and to act fast.
What Will I Learn At A Baby First Aid Class?
In a two-hour parent and carer class you’ll learn how to deal with some really serious situations that you’re very unlikely to experience, like what to do if your baby stops breathing or has a severe allergic reaction. You’ll also learn things like how to monitor a minor head injury and what to do if you suspect a minor fracture.
In just two hours you’ll learn all this:
- CPR
- Recovery positions
- Choking
- Meningitis
- Anaphylaxis
- Burns
- Head injuries
- Febrile seizures
- Broken bones
- Poison
- Bleeding & bandaging
- Shock
First Aid is what you do in the minutes following an emergency before professional help arrives. The action you take during those first few minutes can make all the difference and when you leave a Baby First Aid class you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to know exactly what to do should the unthinkable happen.
What Are The Benefits Of Baby First Aid Classes??
You’ll Gain Hands-on Experience
In a Daisy First Aid class you’ll gain hands-on, practical skill. You’ll have access to realistic training aids and experienced trainers who can answer any questions you have – there are no silly questions and we want you to go away feeling completely confident having practised the skills you’ve learnt.
Baby First Aid Is Perfect For Pregnancy – Babies Are Welcome Too
Baby First Aid classes are perfect for pregnancy so you can do the class before your little one arrives.
If your little one has already been born, you can bring them to the class with you. You are welcome to feed them, change them, walk around with them and do whatever you need. Don’t worry if your baby cries in the class!
You’ll Feel Confident And Empowered Following A Baby First Aid Class

What To Bring And What To Keep In Mind At A Baby First Aid Class
You don’t need to bring anything to a Baby First Aid class. Just yourself and your little one if you’re bringing them along.
What’s The Best Thing About Learning Baby First Aid?
We always hope you’ll never need to use anything you learn in a Baby First Aid class – as the saying goes ‘it’s better to know it and not need it, than to need it and not know it’.
We believe that everyone should learn First Aid. It’s designed to be simple and memorable so absolutely anyone can do it. And absolutely everyone should – especially if you care for children.
