▪️Is your child starting primary school in September?

Starting school is one of the biggest transitions your child will go through and whilst this new chapter can be exciting, it is also completely normal if you and your child feel anxious or have worries.

Here is our handy guide to provide some advice and support around school transition! ▪️

🪳Headlice 🪳

The full life cycle of headlice (often referred to as 'nits') takes between 3-4 weeks.

This is why it is so important that wet combing your child's hair is done on a regular basis to ensure all new eggs and lice are removed.

‼️ DURING AN INFESTATION, WET COMBING SHOULD BE DONE ON A DAILY BASIS!

▪️Female adult lice can produce between 6-10 eggs every DAY!

▪️Adult lice can live for around 30 days

▪️Eggs are laid on strands of hair close to the scalp and then cycle begins all over again

▪️Wet combing is vital and further treatments can be sought from your local pharmacy
