My son is 1 month 8 days old and has mucus in throat which prevents him from taking food properly. No chest congestion and no fever. Doctor has recommended Mucolite drops 0.5ml for 5 days. Is it safe to give the drops at this age? Please suggest me
Dear Doctors, My son has some concerns I'd like your guidance on. He jerks frequently during sleep and cannot sleep independently. Someone must hold him to sleep, and if left alone he wakes crying within 30 minutes. This started before his eczema diagnosis. He sleeps in fetal position, is a hot sleeper, sweats heavily and loses fluids at night. Sleep heart rate is around 100–120 bpm. Previously seborrheic dermatitis, now atopic dermatitis. Total IgE >2500 with dust mite, fungi and yeast sensitivities. My questions: 1. Could sleep jerking be neurological or allergy related? 2. Is 100–120 bpm normal during sleep? 3. Is poor sleep worsening his skin? 4. Should we do any tests or scanning? Thank you.

I want to get guidance regarding my baby’s weight. She is currently 3 months 2 days old. Her weight on 07th april was 4.9 kg and was around 5.2 kg on 17th April. When checked again on 24th April, it was 5.2 kg. This suggests there has been little to no weight gain over the past 7–8 days. In terms of other parameters: She is active and alert Urine output is good and frequent Feeding is regular (I have been ensuring frequent and effective feeds) Apart from weight, she has shown good length growth. Her birth height was 46 cm, on 07th April it was 56.8 cm and on the 24th April it is around 60-61 cm. Lately, she has also started to appear leaner compared to earlier. Could you please advise if this short plateau in weight gain is acceptable at this stage. She is exclusively breastfed and takes 9-10 feeds in 24 hours. She also gives longer stretch of sleep at night with 1-2 feeds or maybe none sometimes.
