We know emergency situations can happen, which you will be trained to manage before leaving hospital for the first time.

It's normal for babies to develop rashes from as early as a few days old. If your baby has a rash but doesn’t show signs of illness, speak to your midwife, health visitor, or your GP. If your baby appears unwell, call your GP or GP out of hours service. If your baby is unwell and has a rash which does not disappear on pressure (glass test positive), please contact 999
