In this episode I provides essential guidance for new parents on when to seek medical help for their sick baby. I emphasises the importance of trusting your instincts and recognising signs that indicate urgent medical attention is needed.
I will outline specific symptoms that warrant immediate action and offers practical advice on how to access medical help, whether it's calling emergency services, visiting the hospital, or contacting a GP. And highlight the significance of staying informed about common illnesses in babies, maintaining good hygiene practices, and keeping up with immunisations.
Ultimately, I will reassure parents that it's better to be cautious and seek medical advice when in doubt, as their baby's health is paramount.
