A three-year-old friend of yours happens to sport an open part in her skull and sticks out a bit in front. The open space is known as the anterior fontanelle and should have closed by now. A pigeon chest could cause difficulties in breathing. These problems may be because of muscle weakness or bone problems. It is important to seek medical advice for proper assessment and advice on the most effective treatment plan.

Your baby may throw up after taking calcium syrup. Vomiting can come from an upset stomach or not tolerating the syrup well. Stop giving the syrup if vomiting occurs. Provide smaller feedings instead. Keep offering small sips of water to prevent dehydration. However, persistent vomiting or signs of illness require seeking medical help promptly. Babies sometimes struggle with new supplements, so close monitoring is wise.

My concern is coming from the fact that you get tired quite early, say at 8 p.m., have no appetite at all, and seem to have stopped adding weight and becoming taller. These signs could be caused by things like lack of proper nutrients or a sickness. Therefore, you should share this information with a responsible grown-up – maybe a family member or your teacher – so that they assist you in getting medical attention. A doctor will examine you to find out what is wrong and give you the necessary treatment.

Kids sometimes hold their breath while crying intensely. This causes a brief oxygen lapse, leading to fainting. It's common and typically harmless. Try calming your daughter when upset. Encourage slow, deep breaths to prevent fainting episodes. However, if the episodes persists or worsens, speak with your pediatrician.

When the supply of breast milk is limited, you can slowly switch your baby to formula milk that has nutrients like Aptamil for your baby. Excess stress and in some cases, improper breastfeeding are the reasons why some moms have low milk production. Be calm about it. You will be able to feed your baby the needed nutrients via formula milk. Be sure to go through the instructions on the formula package.

Sometimes having enlarged adenoids can make them more susceptible to cold. Perhaps swimming is a factor that irritates his adenoids. It is important to ensure his health is not sacrificed for his swimming hobby. I suggest giving a short break to him swimming and observing whether his adenoids get better. This might help him get less affected by cold.

Based on your description, your daughter may have recurrent fever syndrome. This condition involves frequent episodes of high body temperature occurring in a regular pattern. It can result from various causes, such as infections, inflammation, or genetic factors. Since she also has a sore throat, a viral infection is likely the cause. Ensure she gets plenty of rest, drinks a lot of water, and takes fever-reducing medication if she has a fever. Make an appointment with a pediatrician as soon as possible and get her checked regularly.

Babies can hold up their necks around two months old. By four months they do it better, no struggle. If the baby has trouble with neck muscles, it's a sign of weakness. Causes like not enough "tummy time" or late progress. Give baby more tummy time for a strong neck. Support the neck when carrying the baby always.
