Guidance on the management of cases of pertussis in England during the re-emergence of pertussis in 2024

It can be difficult to tell when your baby has an infection, as infections can cause lots of different signs and symptoms and babies can’t say how they feel. It is important to trust your instincts and, if you feel that something is ‘not quite right’ with your baby, seek help from your midwife, health visitor, GP, NHS 111 or visit an emergency department if you are very worried.

Metatarsus Adductus is a common foot condition in babies and young children that may affect one or both feet.
In Metatarsus Adductus, the front half of the foot, or forefoot, is curved inwards.
The condition is thought to be related to the position of the baby in the mother’s uterus.
