I'm wondering about what's happening with my 6-month-old baby. We've been putting coconut oil in his ears every day, and now it seems like there's this wax-like substance covering them. Should we keep doing this, or is it something we should stop?

View allMy 4.5-year-old daughter has adenoid issues and is currently on medication. I'm really worried about surgery are there any effective non-surgical treatments we can try? Her symptoms are bothering her, and I'd love to explore other options before considering surgery. What would you recommend?
Adenoidectomy is a safe procedure in the pediatric population and leads to excellent outcomes. Adverse events are rare, and hospitalization is uncommon. Children with sleep disturbance from nasal airway obstruction, ear disease, or chronic rhinosinusitis are the best operative candidates for this procedure.

I'm trying to decide between Nan Pro and Lactogen for my 8-month-old baby. Can you help me understand the differences and which one might be better? I'm really curious about the benefits of each formula and if there's one that's more suited for my baby at this stage.
Nan Pro and Lactogen are both infant formulas, but they have some differences in their composition. Nan Pro is a specially formulated infant formula that contains probiotics and is designed to support healthy gut flora in infants. It also contains DHA, ARA, and essential vitamins and minerals for overall growth and development. For an 8-month-old baby, you can consider using Nan Pro 2, which is suitable for infants from 6 months onwards. On the other hand, Lactogen is also an infant formula that provides essential nutrients for infants. It does not contain probiotics like Nan Pro, but it is still a good option for infant nutrition. For an 8-month-old baby, you can use Lactogen 2, which is suitable for infants from 6 months onwards. Both Nan Pro and Lactogen are good options for infant nutrition, but the choice between the two may depend on your baby's specific needs and any recommendations from your pediatrician.
