Safety is first when it comes our children. If you're like me you will be very conscious of keeping your babies safe and well - I am often heard saying "Alice - get down you might fall" and "Take some food out of your mouth before you choke." If the falling or the choking did happen, would I know exactly what to do?
The British Red Cross have devised a free Baby and Child First Aid App. I was really glad to be picked to review this by Mumsnet. Safety of our children is so important, and I am so glad that I have downloaded this app. It really is so useful. What follows is my honest review. You can download it free yourself here:
For iPhones and iPads - iTunes App Store https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/id646471621
For Android devices - Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cube.rca.bcfa
About the App

I liked how each section was clearly set out. The app can be used as a little course really - you could sit and run through it and just refresh your knowledge on common child illnesses. You could also use it in the event of illness to look up symptoms. I think this is great - so many times I will just Google and frighten myself silly - this app is no-nonsense and offers real practical and helpful information.
