Doctor, my baby is 40 days old. Yesterday, I accidentally injured my baby’s palm with my fingernail. The skin was scraped off and there was some bleeding. Does my baby need a tetanus vaccine or any other preventive treatment? Are there any special precautions I should take to prevent infection? Could you please examine the wound and advise me?

My son is 54 daya old. for last few days he cries when he passes gas which makes it very hard to put him in sleep. He is on mixed feed.
Newborn 32 days old boy baby, even after feeding for 45 minutes is crying for more milk, I feel like he is sucking nipple for comfort but I'm feeling pain due to this. Can I use soother or pacifier after feeding him? I tried pumping milk and giving using gokarna but he is spitting it out. His weight is 3.1kg. birth weight was 2.8kg. it was normal delivery.
My daughter will turn 1 year on 28th this month her weight now is 7.8kg. Is this weight ok? Also is it a fact or myth that the child will suffer from fever or any mild health concern in every milestone. Like when they start to roll over or crawl or sit or stand or when new teeth grow.
