I've got a little one who's just turned 2 months and 15 days old, and I've heard something about giving babies vitamin D. Is it really necessary for my baby? Also, if it's needed, what other meds should I consider? I had a C-section, and my baby arrived a bit early at 8 months and 15 days, so I want to make sure I'm doing everything right. Any advice on what might be good to take would be appreciated!

View allI'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.

My little one has a stuffy nose and a bit of a cough. She's just 5 months old. I'm thinking of giving her mucolite and maxtra, both at the same time, but I'm not sure if that's okay. The dosage I've got is 0.6 ml. Is that alright for her age?
Yes you can give it no problem.

I'm trying to understand my daughter's situation better. Her platelet count was 2.55 lakh on the 22nd of September. Today it dropped to 1.85 lakh, though her fever's reduced, and she's still on medication. Is her platelet count within normal range? Could you explain what this means for her health?
A normal platelet count ranges from 1.5 to 4.5 lakhs per microliter (L); your daughter's current platelet count of 1.85 lakhs is within the lower normal range, which is a good sign, especially since her fever has subsided; however, it's essential to continue monitoring her platelet count and overall health under the guidance of her healthcare provider to ensure the underlying condition is being effectively managed.
