I'm really worried about my 14-month-old daughter; she's not walking yet, just crawling, and her weight seems quite low at 7.2 kg. She was 2.8 kg at birth. I'm not breastfeeding anymore and I've been giving her cow's milk along with soft food three times a day. She eats well, but she's having stools 2 to 3 times daily. The doctor recommended Bevcon syrup for a month, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Could you suggest what else I should consider or if there's another syrup that might help?

Can I give suji halwa or kheer to my 8-month-old boy if he's been having loose stools for a week? Is suji good for him right now?

For an 8-month-old baby experiencing loose stools, it is important to focus on easily digestible foods. Suji (semolina) can be a good option as it is gentle on the stomach and can help firm up the stools. You can prepare suji halwa with minimal sugar and ghee for your baby. Additionally, you can also give your baby rice-based foods like rice water or rice cereal. Make sure to continue breastfeeding or formula feeding to prevent dehydration. If the loose stools persist or worsen, please consult a pediatrician for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my skin tone because it's a bit on the darker side and I'm hoping to make it fairer. Can you give me any tips or home remedies that might help lighten my skin complexion?

Dark colour complexion is equally healthy and natural no need to worry,just use basic skin care routine like moisturizer, sunscreen for maintaining healthy skin.
