My baby is yellow / jaundice

Advice for parents/carers:
Jaundice is extremely common and affects 6 out of every 10 babies. It causes yellowing of the skin and eyes. It is more common in preterm babies (born before 37 weeks). Jaundice usually develops 2 to 3 days after birth and disappears by two weeks of age. It is usually harmless. If your baby looks very yellow, health care professionals may do blood tests to check the 'level' of jaundice.

Tantrums

Tantrums tend to start between two and three years old, although they can start earlier. During a tantrum, a child will often shout, scream and cry. They may also kick, hit or bite. Tantrums are very common and almost all young children have them - some more than others. This is a normal phase of your child's development.
