I'm wondering if it's okay to give my 18-month-old NAN Pro powder stage 4. It just seems like my little one isn't gaining much weight. I've heard that NAN can help with baby weight gain. Is it safe, and could there be any side effects I should know about?

NAN Pro powder stage 4 is not recommended for children below 2 years of age. It is specifically formulated for older toddlers. For weight gain in younger children, you can consider using Pediasure. It is a nutritional supplement that can help with weight gain in children. The recommended dosage for Pediasure is 1-2 servings per day, as advised by your pediatrician. Always consult with your child's pediatrician before starting any new supplement.

I'm a first-time mom, and my baby is now 14 days old. For the past week, she's been crying for almost three hours every night and sometimes during the day too. We tried giving her colic medicine for four days, but she keeps crying. With this Covid situation, it's really hard to visit a hospital. Is this something normal?

It's been a full 11 days since I first got chicken pox, and the scabs haven't fallen off yet. I'm really starting to worry because it doesn't seem like any of them are going away. Is this normal? How much longer is it going to take for them to disappear?

I'm wondering how much Zincovit syrup I should be giving to my 20-month-old toddler who weighs 9.2 kg. Is there a specific dosage I should follow? I'm a bit worried and just want to make sure I'm doing this right.

For a 20-month-old baby weighing 9.2 kg, the typical dosage of Zincovit syrup is 5 ml once a day, unless otherwise directed by the pediatrician. Always consult with your doctor before administering any medication to ensure it's the right dosage for your baby's needs.
