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.

Headache
Headaches in children are common. Most of the time they are mild and only happen from time to time.
There are plenty of things you can do to help your child to feel better such as making sure they drink plenty of water, taking regular exercise and ensuring they are sleeping well.
Stress can often play a part in children's headaches, especially the older they get so make sure you have a good chat about what is going on in their life.
Sometimes headaches can be a sign of something more worrying. Please see the table below for some of this things to look out for.
