Another great post, thank you. Your Instagram reel on the importance of never taking our eyes off little ones in water was great. You're very good at writing these medical things to be aware of. Having you ever considered writing a post on dry-drowning symptoms in toddlers? That's also a real danger in young children, but it's one that many otherwise well-informed parents are completely unaware of. [Sorry - as if you didn't have enough excellent ideas of your own for writing, but when I watched the Instagram reel, I thought of dry-drowning dangers]. Just my uninvited two-cents worth. I always enjoy reading your posts, and I think you do such a good job of informing people of medical concerns and interests generally.
I think that's a great idea. It all comes down to what you already said in the video: even if children have had swimming lessons or lessons on how to survive in the water, they must always be watched in the water, every minute, to be safe. Dry-drowning isn't a medical term, btw, but it's used to describe symptoms that can develop (and may need treatment) hours later in children who've had a water incident, who appear to be OK immediately afterward.

Thank you! I know VERY little so the post would be me googling vs sharing what I actually know, but I could recommend people look it up / be aware?

I do (sort of) know what it is, but am not an expert on the subject.
