About this listen

When you have a baby, occasional infections and fevers are inevitable. But even parents who have experience with sick babies can have trouble distinguishing normal and mild illnesses from serious problems.

It is essential to pay attention to the symptoms that require medical attention.

Firstly, mothers should learn to trust their maternal instincts. If something doesn't feel right or they're not sure if something is normal, call your paediatrician or take the baby to the clinic.

It is best to contact a doctor when: home remedies are not working, your baby refuses several feedings in a row or eats poorly, your baby is hard to awaken or unusually sleepy, your baby has a fever that lasts for more than 3 days, your baby's stools are especially loose or watery, your baby vomits forcefully after feedings, your baby cries with fewer tears, has significantly fewer wet diapers or has a dry mouth, a rash appears infected or if your baby suddenly develops an unexplained rash especially if it's accompanied by a fever.

Parents should not make assumptions about the health of their babies and seek medical attention in time to ensure the baby gets the right care as soon as possible.
