Baby First Aid Qld

18/10/2026

What do you do first when a child gets a burn, graze, or cut and you’re not sure what to do?

Start with cool, clean water. Then gently wash your hands, apply steady pressure if it’s bleeding, and cover the wound with a clean bandage or sterile gauze.

A thin layer of petroleum jelly or antibiotic ointment can help keep it moist and stop the bandage sticking later.

If the cut is deep, won’t stop bleeding, or starts looking red, swollen, or warm, call your GP.

Most home hazards don’t look dangerous until a small accident turns into a big stress moment.

A loose cord, an uncovered outlet, a heavy dresser, a tiny object on the floor. These are the everyday things that catch families off guard.

The good news is that a few simple checks can make home feel a lot safer, one room at a time.

Ask one more thing too: who to call, and when.

Before you hand over a snack, check this first.
