Why isn't my 4-year-old hungry?
There could be a few reasons for your 4-year-old son not feeling hungry and having difficulty eating. Sometimes, children at this age can be picky eaters or have a decreased appetite due to growth spurts. However, if it's persistent, it's good to rule out any underlying issues like digestive problems or nutrient deficiencies. To help, try offering small, frequent meals with a variety of foods and avoid pressuring him to eat. It might also be helpful to consult with a pediatrician for a thorough evaluation and guidance on how to support his eating habits.

Why is my baby's head hot at 99.5°F?
It's quite common for little ones to have a slightly elevated temperature when they're fighting off an infection, maybe a cold or a viral illness. Our bodies raise their temperature to help fight off those germs. To help your baby feel better, make sure they stay hydrated and dress them in light clothing. You can also give them infant paracetamol if they seem uncomfortable, but do check with a pediatrician first. Keep an eye on their temperature and if it goes higher or if they show other concerning symptoms, it's best to consult a pediatrician .

Why can't my 3-year-old form sentences?
It's not uncommon for children around the age of 3 to have some difficulty forming full sentences. Sometimes their language skills develop at different rates. It could be due to a variety of reasons such as a delay in speech development, hearing issues, or simply needing a bit more time to practice. You can schedule a check-up with pediatrician to make sure there are no underlying concerns affecting your child's speech. In the meantime, encourage them to communicate through gestures, sounds, and simple words. Reading books together and talking about daily activities can also help boost their language skills.

O- Mother Delivered B+ Baby with Jaundice – Is Anti-D Injection Needed? Impact on Baby & Future Pregnancies
Yes, since the mother is O-negative and the baby is B-positive, Anti-D (Rho(D) immunoglobulin) must be given to the mother within 72 hours of delivery to prevent Rh sensitization.
✔️ Baby’s jaundice may be due to Rh incompatibility, which is treatable with phototherapy or other supportive care
✔️ Giving Anti-D now helps protect future pregnancies by preventing the mother's immune system from attacking future Rh-positive babies
✔️ It is also given during pregnancy (at 28 weeks) and after events like bleeding or miscarriage
Please consult your gynecologist immediately if Anti-D hasn't been administered yet.

Is baby diagnosed with MCDK during ultrasound normal?
The doctor saw in an ultrasound that it had a Multicystic Dysplastic Kidney (MCDK). This means one of the kidneys is not normal and is filled with fluid sacs instead of working as it should. Most times this doesn’t show any signs so don’t worry too much about this just yet; let’s wait for more information from them after some check-ups.
