I'm really concerned about my 9-month-old baby. They're having a bowel movement after every single feeding, like 6 times or even more in a day. It's usually within an hour after they eat. We did a stool test, and everything came back normal, but my baby just isn't gaining weight. What could be happening, and how can we help them?

Hi there, I understand your concern. Frequent stools after each feed can sometimes be a sign of digestive sensitivity or a mild intolerance, but since the stool test is normal, it's good to rule out infections. I recommend closely monitoring the baby's feeding patterns and discussing with your pediatrician about possible adjustments to the feeding routine or exploring other underlying causes for the weight concerns.

View allI'm trying to decide between Nan Pro and Lactogen for my 8-month-old baby. Can you help me understand the differences and which one might be better? I'm really curious about the benefits of each formula and if there's one that's more suited for my baby at this stage.
Nan Pro and Lactogen are both infant formulas, but they have some differences in their composition. Nan Pro is a specially formulated infant formula that contains probiotics and is designed to support healthy gut flora in infants. It also contains DHA, ARA, and essential vitamins and minerals for overall growth and development. For an 8-month-old baby, you can consider using Nan Pro 2, which is suitable for infants from 6 months onwards. On the other hand, Lactogen is also an infant formula that provides essential nutrients for infants. It does not contain probiotics like Nan Pro, but it is still a good option for infant nutrition. For an 8-month-old baby, you can use Lactogen 2, which is suitable for infants from 6 months onwards. Both Nan Pro and Lactogen are good options for infant nutrition, but the choice between the two may depend on your baby's specific needs and any recommendations from your pediatrician.

My son has been having a high fever for the past 4 days and we've been giving him Crocin, but it hasn't helped. We started using Ibugesic after consulting our family doctor, and there's still no improvement. What should we do?
Pediatric opinion is advised to the patient.

my son had TB and just had intestine surgery should I get the whole family checked for TB too
Yes, it's highly recommended to get the whole family tested for TB. Since your son had intestinal TB, which is usually not contagious, it's still a good idea to get the family checked, especially if your son had active TB in the lungs or throat. People with active TB are most likely to spread it to close contacts, including family members. If your son had pulmonary or laryngeal TB, there's a higher risk of transmission to household members. If your son had abdominal TB, which is less likely to spread, testing family members is still a good precaution
