Can I give suji halwa or kheer to my 8-month-old boy if he's been having loose stools for a week? Is suji good for him right now?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For an 8-month-old baby experiencing loose stools, it is important to focus on easily digestible foods. Suji (semolina) can be a good option as it is gentle on the stomach and can help firm up the stools. You can prepare suji halwa with minimal sugar and ghee for your baby. Additionally, you can also give your baby rice-based foods like rice water or rice cereal. Make sure to continue breastfeeding or formula feeding to prevent dehydration. If the loose stools persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

My 3-month-old niece in the US was diagnosed with laryngomalacia and doctors recommended surgery, but I've read it might improve on its own over time. Should we wait or go ahead with the surgery?
Many infants with laryngomalacia are able to eat and grow normally, and the condition will resolve without surgery by the time they are around 20 months old. However, a small percentage of babies do struggle with breathing, eating, and weight gain, and their symptoms require immediate treatment.

I'm a bit worried because my baby was born at 34 weeks and he's now 2 months and 18 days old, but he's not quite recognizing us, especially his mom. He's just started seeing some objects, but not very clearly. When can we expect him to start seeing us properly and responding with a smile?
No need to worry it takes time, usually from 3 to 4 months baby starts recognising people, have a regular followup with your doctor
