Cough and cold

Advice for parents/carers
Coughs and colds are extremely common in young children. Over the first year of life, your child is likely to have up to 8 of these episodes.

My baby has a rash

Advice for parents/carers:
Rashes are common in newborns and babies. Most rashes are harmless and go away on their own. You may notice that your baby’s skin is dry or peeling in the first 1-2 weeks of life and this is normal.

A common rash seen in babies in the first 3-4 days of life is erythema toxicum. Babies with this type of rash are well in themselves. They have a red blotchy rash that can come and go and often appears on the face, body, upper arms and thighs. This rash does not require any treatment and will go away on its own.
