Question

I'm really concerned about my 3-month-old baby because my husband drinks alcohol every day and sleeps right next to the baby. I'm worried if this could affect our baby in any way. Are there any possible side effects I should be aware of?

It's understandable to be concerned. If your husband is drinking alcohol regularly, there's a risk of accidental exposure to secondhand alcohol or other issues, especially if he's not fully alert while sleeping next to the baby. It's important to ensure a safe, sober environment for your baby to avoid any risks, including suffocation or impaired caregiving.

Can you tell me if it's still possible for me to grow taller at 16? I'd really appreciate some information on this, so I can know what to believe.
