I'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

I'm really worried about my 2.5-year-old son. He's been dealing with a cold and cough for a few days, and the pediatrician said it might be WALRI. We started him on clarithromycin and nebulizer treatments, and we're on day three now. When I check his SPO2 while he's asleep, I'm seeing it fluctuate between 89 and 92, and sometimes it jumps to 95 or 96. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about these fluctuations? What should I do next?

My son has one testicle that hasn't descended and the doctor recommended surgery to remove the undescended one. Is there any homeopathic treatment that can help with this instead? We're based in Hyderabad and looking for alternatives before going for surgery.
