I'm really concerned about using Practin syrup for loss of appetite. Could it actually lead to side effects like hair loss, hair whitening, or even skin blackening? Is there any truth to these worries?

I'm really concerned about my son. He's always been a very active child, but I'm worried because he started saying a few words at 11 months and then stopped. Now he's 2.6 years old and still isn't speaking. My husband and I both work, so he's usually alone at home. We saw a pediatrician when he was 20 months, and they said we should talk to him more, but it's hard to tell if this is a speech delay or something else. Could you please provide some advice on what we should do next?

Talk more to him, encourage reading, singing, and social interaction. Check his hearing and consider speech therapy if progress doesn't happen. Be patient and consistent with these practices, but don't hesitate to seek professional guidance if you're still concerned.

I'm trying to make sure I'm cleaning my 5-month-old grandson's ears correctly, especially after his baths. I want to ensure I'm removing any wax safely. What's the best way to do this?

To clean a 5-month-old baby's ears, you can use a soft, clean washcloth or cotton ball dampened with warm water
