Can I use a nebulizer for my daughter while she's asleep? She's been taking off the mask when she's awake. The doctor suggested using duolin 1ml mixed with 1ml of NS liquid.

-It's generally not recommended to use a nebulizer while your daughter is asleep because it can be hard to ensure the mask stays in place and she gets the full dose. You can try gently waking her up for the treatment, or consult your doctor for alternativ

View allI'm really curious and a bit worried about my 30-day-old baby's skin. When he was born, his complexion was quite fair, but over time, it seems to have gotten darker. I'm using Tedibar soap for him. Could the change in skin tone be related to the summer heat, or is there something else I should consider?
The darkening of your baby's skin tone is likely due to natural melanin production and adaptation to the environment, rather than the soap or summer heat; continue using gentle, fragrance-free soap like Tedibar, and consider consulting your pediatrician to rule out any underlying conditions, but in most cases, this change is harmless and may stabilize over time

My little one is 2 years and 2 months old, and I'm thinking about starting Junior Horlicks Stage 1. I'm unsure what the right age is since I noticed that both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 packs mention not giving it to children under 2 years old, but there's no more detailed age info. Could you help me with when might be a good time to start?
no problem you can take
