Toddler 'turned grey and passed out' after drinking Slush Puppie Perhaps we can get this tweet back out there again?? xitter.cf/rachrwlnds/status/1800… bbc.com/news/articles/c725pz…
Did you know that slushies can be dangerous for small children? They contain glycerol- can cause blood sugar drops, loss of consciousness and seizures! Don’t give to under 4’s and don’t let under 10’s have too much (ie no bottomless cups!) food.gov.uk/news-alerts/news…

I also past a memorial in the church yard, which helped focus me on why I'm walking miles in the rain, to help fund research and support families after #SIDS #childloss #bereavedparents

Absolutely agree. I'm not a Designated Doctor for Child Passing (Away).
🥰 talking about “loved ones” around death is my total bugbear. “Passing” a close second. “Family” used far too readily as shorthand too, without qualification
