The Little Orange Book was first published in 2016 to give practical information about common childhood conditions, after research showed that clearer information could help reduce unnecessary attendances at A&E.

Distributed to all new parents in Newcastle and Gateshead, it helps parents and carers to recognise and respond to a range of common illnesses and points to the most appropriate service if you need further support.

The book contains advice and tips on how to manage common illnesses and problems that babies and young children often experience in the first five years of their lives. There is also important information on more serious conditions and what to look out for.
