Pregnancy, babies and children

Pregnancy, babies and children are a huge part of any GP's work. Mothers-to-be and parents are natural worriers, and every sign and potential sysmptom is magnified a hundredfold when it is your own child or baby.

But if parents are well-informed then they can often take action in difficult situations that can save their child's life. I will be posting here a set of "what every parent should know" guides over the next few months. You can print them out and stick them on your fridge or in your child's bedroom - because who's got time to search the Internet when there is an emergency going on?

You can also get more information on health matters specific to children on http://nevertooearly.co.uk/, which provides help and advice for parents on ensuring a healthy diet for their children to help protect them against possible future heart problems.

Thanks
Dr Chris Steele
