This video tells you about the danger signs of illness in a newborn baby.
Healthy babies normally have wet nappies 6-8 times every day, wake to feed 8-12 times every day and move their arms and legs.
However, babies can easily get sick and this can happen very fast. You will usually know when your child is sick, because they are behaving differently.
Before they get really sick, there can be warning signs that you can spot. If spotted early, healthcare workers can help your baby to get better quickly.
