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?
Hi,
I have a 10 month old and I have been suffering from acid reflux for some time now. My dietician suggested me to take slippery elm. Since I am a breastfeeding mother I am little eager to know will it be safe for my baby.
My 8.5month old baby refuses every food and she is under weight (6.3kg at 7month) already tried several flavours, textures, methods. I am totally frustrated and facing ppd. If she is very hungry, she will take max 4-5 very small spoons, but thats it. I'm not able to take it. Please help me doctors what should I do. Tell me a process to feed her.
My daughter is almost 4 years old and has been having an on-and-off fever for the past 10–12 days. Her blood tests showed an elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) level of 31.48 mg/L.
The doctor recommended Augmentin for 6 days and Omnacortil for 2 days as a change in medication. However, after stopping Omnacortil, she developed a fever again at night, around 100°F.
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.
