Is it normal for my 2.5-year-old to be passing more gas than usual? It's been happening for a couple of weeks now. I'm giving him polyethylene glycol for constipation, so I'm wondering if that could be related. Should I be concerned?

I'm really concerned about my 9-month-old baby. They're having a bowel movement after every single feeding, like 6 times or even more in a day. It's usually within an hour after they eat. We did a stool test, and everything came back normal, but my baby just isn't gaining weight. What could be happening, and how can we help them?

Hi there, I understand your concern. Frequent stools after each feed can sometimes be a sign of digestive sensitivity or a mild intolerance, but since the stool test is normal, it's good to rule out infections. I recommend closely monitoring the baby's feeding patterns and discussing with your pediatrician about possible adjustments to the feeding routine or exploring other underlying causes for the weight concerns.

I'm really curious about the pcv and rv vaccines for my 1.5-month-old baby. Are these vaccines essential at this age? I'm feeling a bit anxious, so any advice would be appreciated.

For a 1.5-month-old baby, the PCV (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine) and RV (Rotavirus Vaccine) are indeed recommended vaccinations. - PCV Vaccine Schedule: Typically administered in two primary doses at 6 weeks and 14 weeks, followed by a booster dose at 9-12 months of age. - RV Vaccine Schedule: Usually given in three doses at 6 weeks, 10 weeks, and 14 weeks. It's essential to consult your pediatrician for personalized advice and to ensure your baby receives the necessary vaccinations on time.
