My baby boy is 22 days old, born by C-section at 38+6 weeks, weighing 2.8 kg at birth. He is feeding well, has 10+ wet diapers daily and is otherwise healthy.
Our pediatrician prescribed B-N-C Neo Drops, 0.5 mL twice daily. The product contains DHA, multiple vitamins/minerals and 400 IU vitamin D per 1 mL.
I would like a second opinion from pediatricians: Is this multivitamin/multimineral supplement routinely necessary for a healthy, term newborn who is feeding and growing well? Would vitamin D supplementation alone generally be sufficient? Is there any concern with giving B-N-C Neo at this dose?
Is tasiron iron drops required for 2.5 month old baby, our doctor has prescribed 0.5 ml per day during our montly follow up, but worried if it would cause constipation

Hello Doctors,
We have a few questions regarding the care of our 11-day-old newborn:
Scalp: There is some dirt/build-up on his scalp. How should we clean it, and what should we use?
Stool and urine: How many times a day is it normal for a newborn to pass stool and urine?
Umbilical cord: His umbilical cord has fallen off. How should we clean and care for the navel area, and how should we keep it clean?
Bathing: When can we start giving our newborn a proper bath?
Oil massage: When can we start oil massage, and is there any particular type of oil that you recommend?
Thank you.
