Why Am I Experiencing Delayed Milestones Since Birth?
Delayed milestones can be caused by various factors such as genetic conditions, prematurity, infections, or simply individual differences in development. It's important not to worry, as there are steps we can take. I recommend scheduling a visit with a pediatrician or a developmental specialist who can assess your milestones and provide guidance. In fact, early intervention services like physical therapy or speech therapy can be very beneficial.

What should I do if my baby swallowed a piece of wood?
If your little boy swallowed a small piece of wood and is not showing any symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, coughing, or choking, it can be assumed that he will pass it through his stool without any problems. Just make sure to check his poop to see that the piece comes out. Nonetheless, if he exhibits any signs of distress or if the piece does not pass within a few days, it is advisable to seek medical advice as early as possible.

Is my newborn's weight gain normal?
Your little one's weight gain has been a bit of a rollercoaster.In the first few weeks, babies can have quite rapid weight fluctuations, and it's totally normal. Those early days are all about adjusting to feeding and growth spurts. The initial drop in weight could be due to fluid loss after birth, and then the subsequent gains show that your baby is getting the hang of feeding and growing well. As long as your baby seems content, has regular wet diapers, and is feeding well, there's usually nothing to worry about.

Should I Seek Help if My 8yr Old Overdosed Nyquil?
Medicine is crucial but you must be extremely careful with doses. If your child takes too much, it can make them sick. Your son drank double the recommended Nyquil amount. He will likely feel drowsy, dizzy, and have an upset stomach or headache. The overdose happened because the medicine was too strong for his body size. Give him water right away. Watch him carefully for other symptoms. If he seems unwell, don't hesitate to get medical help.

4-year-old Overdose Risk: 15ml Zarbee's Cough Medicine
Medicine can hurt if not taken properly. Taking too much Zarbee's cough syrup is bad for little kids. If a 4-year-old drinks 15ml, it's more than safe. Overdosing causes sick feeling, throwing up, feeling sleepy, or breathing trouble. Call poison control or visit hospital quickly for help.

Does my baby need hospital check after swallowing Strepsils?
It's understandable to feel concerned after your little one ingests a lozenge. Generally, if your child shows no symptoms like difficulty breathing, nausea, or unusual drowsiness, they are likely okay. However, it's always best to be cautious with young children. Monitor for any unusual behaviors or changes. If you feel uncertain or notice any concerning signs, consulting a pediatrician is a wise step. They can provide specific guidance suited to your child's needs.

Why is my child suddenly getting face bruises?
It's normal for kids to wake up with some facial bruises & not even remember how they got there. Most of the time it's because they bumped into something or got hurt while playing. But also, like, if your child is on certain meds or has certain health problems, bruises are more likely. If they don't go away or you get other signs of something weird going on in the child's body seek medical attention from a physician.

Why is my baby belly bloated and hard for 5 days?
The reason for this could be constipation, gas, or an infection. If the baby experiences other symptoms like being moody, not eating well, or being fussy more than usual, you should immediately visit a pediatrician. Additionally, light tummy massages and practicing a bicycle motion with the baby can work as an aid in relieving discomfort.

How can I boost my daughter's height and weight?
Here are some tips for helping your child grow taller and gain weight. Make sure they get different nutrients by eating many kinds of food – not just junk! Specifically, things with protein like milk or eggs; also foods high in calcium (like broccoli) and vitamin D (like salmon). Get them moving often with things other than walking too- muscle strength is important! Enough sleep each night will help their bodies grow well too.

Can breastfeeding mothers safely consume mushroom powder at 7 months?
It is normally safe to consume mushroom powder while breastfeeding, but only in small amounts. If it starts causing your baby to develop a rash, fussiness, or diarrhea after you eat it, stop eating it. The addition of slight amounts of mushroom powder in your diet is safe for your baby. The reality is that all babies are different, and if you observe any changes, it is better to discard them and talk to your child's pediatrician.

Can jaundice in a 6-month-old lead to liver failure?
Jaundice in babies can occur when their liver is not working properly. This makes their skin and eyes turn yellow. Sometimes it may cause serious liver failure. You need to take your baby to a hepatologist for proper treatment. The physician may prescribe drugs, suggest changes in diet, or severe cases recommend liver transplantation. Ensure you adhere to what the doctor tells you to help your child feel better.

How can I help my 7-month-old with chesty cough?
It appears that the little one has a cough; this sounds chesty. When I say chesty, I mean that he/she has mucus in his/her chest. If not handled well, the kid may struggle to breathe or vomit. The first measure is to give the child plenty of water to drink. Think of installing a humidifier right in his/her bedroom so that the air can be a bit moist. In case things go south and the cough becomes severe, feel free to seek the help of a pediatrician.
