Common infant illnesses

For new parents, the experience of having your tiny baby come down with an illness can feel incredibly overwhelming.  

In this episode our host, Dr Anthea Rhodes is joined by Dr Danni Bao, a Paediatrician and Emergency Department doctor to help parents better understand what is common versus what might be cause for concern in the first year of life.  

We'll unpack the red flags that parents need to keep an eye out for but also share some simple advice to support parents as they navigate the inevitable arrival of a nasty bug in the home.
