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.
Hello Doctor,
My son has been vomiting and is not taking food properly. He is also suffering from cough and cold. Kindly advise what should be done and if any medication is required.
Thank you.

Hello,
My daughter is 18 month old and we got her vaccination done yesterday at a govt UPHC (DPT booster, Rubella etc). Since then, she isn't walking/willing to move her legs. She is sitting in only one position and isn't moving. I understand it must be painful for her but just want to ask if this is normal or should we again see her regular doctor?
She got one shot on her thigh and one on her arm.
She also isn't letting us put ice pack on the injection site. She had fever yesterday night and We are giving her paracetamol syrup (only if fever is there) as prescribed by the UPHC doctor. Her appetite has drastically dropped since yesterday too.
Please help me with your valuable suggestions. We are very worried.
Thank you.
Baby is 2 month 10 days old. Baby had good sleep pattern but for past 3 days the sleep has been disturbed and at night sleeps around 11 or 1 am and then sleeps for about 7-8 hrs with feeds in between. But in Daytime, overall sleep has been reduced to 4-5 hrs. That's also as very short naps like 15 -30 mins sometimes around 1-2 hrs. Baby is well fed, with good urine and stool output. She is active in wake time and only cries when she is unattended and during nights around 8 or 9 pm for the sleep. We have tried dim light and routine sleep place. Her pattern has been changed drastically.
