Infant and Baby First Aid Course for Melbourne Parents and Caregivers
Bringing a newborn home is an exciting time for new parents. Gazing at that new being brings endless hours of joy along with dirty diapers and sleepless nights. New parents are anxious caring for this new life. When an emergency happens their first instinct is to panic and call for help. Knowing what they can do in the crucial minutes waiting for help to arrive could mean the difference between life and death. Kids First Aid offers a basic first aid course for infants to Melbourne’s new parents and caregivers. Providing current techniques and procedures, our experienced paramedics educate parents and caregivers how to administer basic first aid that can result in a positive outcome.
Common Medical Emergencies
Most medical emergencies involve breathing issues. Knowing how to provide proper CPR care to a baby who has stopped breathing is vital to keep the baby alive while waiting for emergency personnel. An unexpected bite or sting from an animal or insect requires specialized treatment especially if there is bleeding or an allergic reaction resulting in anaphylaxis. Babies love to put things in their mouths which can lead to choking. Knowing the proper technique to dislodge an object to restore breathing is essential for a positive outcome. Accidental poisonings and burns require knowledge that will assist emergency responders upon arrival. Taking a baby first aid course is essential for parents and caregivers in Melbourne to ensure their child’s recovery.
Experienced Paramedics Provide Infant First Aid Course for Melbourne Parents and Caregivers
Katie and Ben Fisher have over 30 years combined experience as paramedics. They are also parents to 3 children. They understand the panic that ensues when a child suddenly falls ill or incurs an injury. They’ve seen first-hand how basic first aid provided by parents could have resulted in a positive outcome for sick or injured infants. Together with Katie’s sister Jen Douneen, they have developed a 3-hour basic first aid course to instruct new parents how to handle emergency situations. Experienced paramedics teach all our courses to ensure current procedures and techniques are taught.

What attendees are saying about these invaluable first aid workshops
About an hour ago my 2 year old daughter swallowed a 5 cent
piece and wasn't able to breathe. The look on her face was terrifying. Thankfully, you helped me be prepared and know what to do. After the 5 back blows she spluttered, wretched and must've gotten the coin out of her airway as she started breathing again. It was honestly the most terrifying thing I've been through with my kids.
Thanks again for giving me the information to be able to handle the situation.

Last month my 11 month old daughter suffered a febrial
convulsion whilst in my arms and stopped breathing. He mouth and lips went blue & purple and she had a full convulsive fit. She had a fever that rose quickly and becuase of your course, i recognised the signs of what was happening, placed her in the recovery postion on the floor till the fit stopped and called the ambulance. Although a terrifiying experience as i was home on my home own, i kept calm and felt in control knowing i had the knowledge to help me daughter through.
I thought you should know what a difference it made to me in a emergency situation. My husband had not done the course and booked it and did it straight after, as he would not have known what to do. Thank you.
My husband and I attended your recent Woollahra course
after being very scared by a choking incident with our nine month old daughter the week before. What a great course! Alan was a wonderful presenter. He had so much great hands on experience. His stories kept things lively as well as illustrated the skills we need in a way that I'll remember. I also found it invaluable how he explained the cause of different injuries/conditions and the reason a particular treatment worked.
I've been surprised this past week how such a simple investment could make me feel more confident as a parent, but it really has.

In December I took my 12 year old daughter with me to one
of your first aid courses. This was in anticipation of her babysitting for others in the next few years.
Today it paid an unexpected dividend. As she and her 11 year old brother got off the bus and crossed the road, the young woman walking in front of them collapsed.
My 11 year old instinctively put out his hand to catch her head. My daughter moved the young woman to a safer place on the road by an island and placed her in the recovery position.
She then enlisted the help of an adult asking them to call the ambulance.

We just wanted to say a big thank you for the excellent
first aid course at Crows Nest on Saturday. We found the course was very practical and helpful and thought that Craig was a fantastic presenter. Knowing of his extensive experience and hearing his stories was great but we also found him to be very clear and good at reinforcing the main points.
Our poster is up to remind us of the things covered in the course. Hopefully we won't need to use what we've learnt but it's good to feel prepared..

I was amazed at how logical and simple so many first aid steps
for various situations are! Things have changed since learning all those complicated and confusing procedures in P.E. at high school! After realising how simple (and obviously life-changing) first aid really is I cannot help but wonder why it isn't compulsory for everyone to learn first aid! The fee is peanuts when compared to the value of what is learnt.

I would definitely recommend KFA to family and friends...
this information is best presented by KFA (Paramedic)...not passed on second hand. Really informative and kept encouraging us to be proactive rather than petrified.
