I'm really worried because my 2-month-old baby accidentally swallowed one of my hairs. I saw it on his tongue and tried to get it out, but then he swallowed it. Is this something I should be concerned about?

It is important to monitor for any signs of distress such as difficulty breathing, coughing, or vomiting. In most cases, the hair will pass through the digestive system without causing any issues. However, if you notice any concerning symptoms or if your baby seems to be in discomfort, you should consult a pediatrician.

Why do babies cry before sleeping?
Because babies have not yet learned how to get them to sleep so they seek out for help and their only form of expression is crying.

I've just realized that I took some expired Augmentin, and I'm currently breastfeeding. I'm pretty worried and not sure what to do next. Should I continue feeding my baby, or could this be harmful to them in any way? Would love some advice on this.
