First aid for babies and children

What paediatric first aid teaches you, and where you can take a course. Why that knowledge works out differently with young children.

Paediatric first aid

Now that you have a baby at home, you will want to know how best to protect your child from accidents and what to do if something does happen.

Every year thousands of children end up in an emergency department after an accident. As a parent you can prevent many of them, and if something does happen you can often act straight away yourself — as long as you know what to do. A paediatric first aid course teaches you what to do if your child chokes, is burned or falls.

Livis offers the online course EHBO voor jonge ouders (in Dutch), as well as courses on recognising childhood illnesses and on severe allergy. Some supplementary insurance policies cover the cost; do check the terms of your policy.
