I'm trying to figure out how much milk my 2.7-year-old son should be drinking. He weighs 13.7 kg. Also, I'm curious if there are any specific health drinks you'd recommend and how often or how much he should have them. And by the way, is it alright to add a bit of sugar to things like idly or curd for him at this age?

I'm a bit anxious about my baby boy who's almost 4 months old. He's been having frequent small bowel movements, and I've been giving him Bifilac sachets to help. Is it okay to keep using Bifilac regularly? Is it safe for him?

While Bifilac is generally considered safe for infants, long-term or repeated use without medical supervision can lead to an imbalance of gut flora or dependency on probiotics; consult your pediatrician before continuing Bifilac sachets, as they may recommend alternative probiotics, dietary changes, or investigate underlying causes of frequent small motions

I'm really concerned about my baby. A few days back, he had yellow fluid coming from his eyes and they seemed watery. The doctor suggested we use ciplox eye drops for five days, which cleared up the fluid, but now he's blinking a lot like his eyes are dry and he keeps rubbing them. I even tried massaging to open the blocked duct, and while the redness and fluid went away, his gaze seems off, like his vision might be blurry. And he also had a fever last week, which was relieved with macpod syrup, but his eye issue is still there. What should I do about it?

yes,visit your foe appropriate management
