Description
Should I Be Worried? is a question every parent of young children often asks themselves. From a newborn who cries endlessly, to a toddler with a high temperature, to a schoolchild with a persistent cough, each stage of childhood brings new things to worry about. What needs treatment? When should you call the doctor or go straight to the hospital?
Paediatric consultant and mother of two Dr Niamh Lynch understands these concerns, and how hard it is to find information you can trust. Drawing on years of expertise and common questions from her online community, Should I Be Worried? provides clear, practical and reassuring advice on everything from tummy troubles, rashes, teething, and sleep to developmental differences and hospital visits - plus an easy-to-use A-Z of childhood health conditions.
Your antidote to panic and uncertainty, Should I Be Worried? gives you reliable answers when you need them most - and the confidence to trust your instincts.

- Tummy Troubles
- Fits, Faints & Funny Turns
- Teething & Teeth
