Your baby's jaundice should not still be there after 2 weeks.

Persistent (prolonged) jaundice is NOT something to ignore.

While it can be harmless, it may also be the first sign of:
🟡 Liver disease
🦠 Infection
🩸 Blood disorders
🧬 Metabolic conditions
Early diagnosis can prevent permanent liver damage and save lives.
If your baby's eyes or skin remain yellow beyond 14 days (or 21 days in some breastfed babies), seek medical assessment promptly.
Don't wait. Early action makes all the difference.

Your baby's health doesn't begin at birth.

It begins the day pregnancy starts.

Regular antenatal care can:
🤰 Detect complications early
🩺 Monitor your baby's growth
💉 Provide essential vaccines and supplements
❤️ Reduce the risk of stillbirth, preterm birth, and maternal death
Never wait until there's a problem to see a healthcare provider.
Healthy pregnancies build healthy babies.
Share this with every expectant mother. 💙

"He's breathing fast, but he's not coughing."

That doesn't mean your child is okay.

Fast breathing can be the earliest sign of pneumonia—a leading cause of death in children under 5.

🚨 Seek medical care immediately if your child has:
• Fast or difficult breathing
• Chest indrawing
• Blue lips
• Is too tired to feed or drink
Early treatment saves lives.
Don't wait for the cough to get worse.
RT. Every parent should know these warning signs.

Breastmilk is more than food, it's your baby's first vaccine.
Every feed delivers antibodies that help protect against infections, while also supporting healthy brain growth and development.
For mothers, breastfeeding also reduces the risk of breast and ovarian cancer.
The best start in life begins at the breast.

Support. Encourage. Breastfeed.

A baby sleeping in the wrong position can stop breathing silently.

Babies should ALWAYS sleep:
• On their back
• On a firm flat surface
• Without pillows, duvets, or soft toys
Sleeping on the stomach or side increases the risk of sudden infant death.
Unsafe sleep kills quietly.
One safe position can save a life.

Most childhood asthma attacks are PREVENTABLE.
Yet many children end up in the Emergency Department because early warning signs were missed.
Help prevent asthma flare-ups:
• Use preventer inhalers as prescribed
• Avoid tobacco smoke exposure
• Identify and avoid triggers
• Keep vaccinations up to date
• Have an asthma action plan
Increased reliever inhaler use, night cough, or exercise symptoms are warning signs that asthma control is worsening.
Don't wait for a severe attack.
Good asthma control saves lives.

“Childhood asthma can turn deadly FAST.”

Seek urgent help IMMEDIATELY if your child:
• Struggles to breathe
• Cannot complete sentences
• Has blue lips or looks pale
• Is too breathless to feed or talk
• Has ribs sucking in deeply
• Gets little or no relief from reliever inhaler
A silent chest or exhaustion is an emergency.
Do NOT wait to “see if it settles.”
Follow your asthma action plan and call emergency services urgently if severe symptoms develop.
RT. Parents need to know these warning signs.

Mothers often say this after a newborn emergency:

“I knew something was wrong… but everyone told me to wait.”

A baby may look “fine” before sudden collapse.

Trust your instincts if your newborn:
• Feeds less than usual
• Feels unusually limp
• Breathes differently
• Becomes hard to wake
• Changes colour
Early signs are often subtle.
Delay can cost a life.
If something feels wrong — seek urgent medical care immediately.
RT. Parents need to hear this.

Your baby keeps “spitting up”?
It may be harmless GOR… or a warning sign you should NEVER ignore.
🚩 RED FLAGS:
• Green vomit
• Projectile vomiting
• Refusing feeds
• Poor weight gain
• Blood in vomit/stool
• Breathing difficulty
• Extreme sleepiness

Not every vomiting baby has “just reflux.”
Some have life-threatening illness or surgical emergencies.
If vomiting changes suddenly or your baby seems unwell — ACT FAST.
RT. A parent may mistake danger for “normal reflux.” 🚨

Not all newborn jitteriness is dangerous.

Many babies briefly jitter when:
• Crying
• Cold
• Startled
…and stop when comforted or gently held.
That can be normal.
But WARNING signs include:
• Repetitive jerking
• Eye rolling
• Poor feeding
• Floppiness
• Episodes that DON’T stop when touched

This could mean:
• Low blood sugar
• Infection
• Seizures
• Brain injury

Never ignore abnormal movements in a newborn.

🚨 DIRECT WARNING: Skipping feeds is NOT normal in newborns.

If your baby is missing feeds — sleeping through, uninterested, too weak to latch — do not wait to see if they "come around."
Watch for:
Going more than 3 hours without feeding in the first days of life

No wet nappies or very dark urine (dehydration warning)
Baby seems limp, drowsy, or hard to wake
Weight dropping more than 10% since birth
What happens if you ignore it:Low blood sugar. Dehydration. Rapid deterioration. Newborns have no reserves — they crash fast and quietly.

What to do RIGHT NOW:→ Try skin-to-skin to stimulate feeding → Check for jaundice (yellow skin/eyes = urgent) → Contact your midwife, health visitor, or go to A&E if baby won't rouse
This is not "a sleepy baby." This is a warning sign.
Don't scroll past this without sharing it — a new parent needs to see it today.

Follow for daily newborn safety alerts.

A newborn’s brain is extremely fragile.

Throwing a baby — even “playfully” — can cause:
• Brain bleeding
• Seizures
• Blindness
• Permanent disability
• Death
Violent shaking or tossing can destroy the brain within seconds.
Babies are NEVER “too young to be affected.”
Always support the head and handle newborns gently.
One moment of frustration can change a life forever.

Your newborn is NOT “constipated” just because they strain.

Many babies:
• Turn red
• Grunt loudly
• Push hard
…while passing SOFT stool. That can be normal.

But these are RED FLAGS:
• Hard stool
• Bloated abdomen
• Green vomiting
• No stool after birth
• Poor feeding

Some babies with “constipation” actually have dangerous bowel problems.

Don’t ignore the signs.

The first hour after birth can save a baby’s life.

Early breastfeeding is NOT just bonding.

That first thick yellow milk (colostrum) helps:
• Protect against infection
• Stabilize blood sugar
• Support breathing and warmth
• Reduce newborn deaths
Delaying feeds increases risk.
If mother and baby are stable, breastfeeding should start within the FIRST HOUR after delivery.
One early feed can change everything.

Your baby can look PERFECT… and still have a life-threatening disease.

Feeding well.
Sleeping normally.
No fever.
No warning signs.
Then suddenly:
• Seizures
• Collapse
• Brain injury
• Death
Some newborn conditions stay silent for days before destroying the brain or body.
That is why newborn screening is critical.

A simple early test can detect hidden disorders BEFORE symptoms begin.
Waiting for “signs” can be too late.
Screen early.
Act early.
Save a life.

One of the most powerful newborn treatments costs NOTHING.

Skin-to-skin care.

Placing a baby directly on a parent’s chest helps:
• Keep the baby warm
• Stabilise breathing and heart rate
• Improve breastfeeding
• Reduce stress for both baby and parent
It is not “just bonding.”
It can save newborn lives — especially in the first hours after birth.
Hold your baby close.

“Maybe it’s just a cough.”

Not always.

A child who:
• Coughs every night persistently
• Wheezes during play
• Easily gets breathless running
May have asthma.
Many children are diagnosed late because symptoms are mistaken for “recurrent chest infections.”
Untreated asthma can become life-threatening FAST.

Early treatment changes everything.

“Maybe the vomit is just reflux.”

Not always.

Projectile vomiting in a newborn is a RED FLAG.

Especially if the baby:
• Vomits after every feed
• Still seems hungry
• Is losing weight
• Has fewer wet nappies
This can signal a dangerous blockage like pyloric stenosis.
Waiting can lead to severe dehydration.
Newborns deteriorate FAST.
Get urgent medical review.

RT. A parent may mistake this for “normal spit-up.”
