My daughter's earring is stuck in her ear lobe, and I'm having trouble getting it out. It's the front stud that's stuck in the hole. How can we safely remove it?
To remove the earring that is stuck in your daughter's earlobe, you can try using a lubricant such as olive oil or mineral oil to gently slide the earring out. You can also try using ice to numb the area before attempting to remove it. If these methods do not work, it is best to seek medical help from a healthcare professional.

I'm worried about my 4-month-old baby's feet and hands. They're often wet and sweaty, especially when he's sleeping or feeding. It's more than what seems normal to us. Is this something to be concerned about, or is it normal for babies this age?
