my baby has a tongue tie and I'm worried about breastfeeding issues. Is there a quick surgery option that heals in 10 days or any medicine to help with this? I've heard some kids recover fast after treatment but not sure what options are out there

A quick frenectomy (surgical release of the tongue tie) is a minor procedure that can be done in a few minutes and heals within 7-10 days. Consult a pediatric dentist or pediatric ENT specialist.

I'm a breastfeeding mom with a 2-month-old baby, and I had a really bad migraine last night. I took Disprin and stopped breastfeeding for about 23 hours after that. I even expressed and discarded the milk I produced after taking the medication because I heard aspirin isn't recommended during breastfeeding. Is it safe for me to start breastfeeding again now?
yes

My son accidentally drank some diluted Dettol a couple of days ago. I reacted quickly by brushing his teeth and making him drink a lot of water. Thankfully, he seems normal now and I haven't noticed any effects yet. Should I be worried about any side effects showing up later?
The oily substance you noticed could be due to: 1. *Excess sebum*: Anal glands produce sebum, which can mix with stool. 2. *Mucoid discharge*: The anus naturally produces mucus, which can appear oily. 3. *Dietary factors*: Consuming oily foods or supplements (e.g., fish oil) might contribute to the oily appearance. 4. *Gastrointestinal issues*: Certain conditions, such as malabsorption or pancreatitis, can cause oily stools. _When to be concerned_ 1. *Persistent or excessive oil*: If the issue persists or worsens. 2. *Other symptoms*: Diarrhea, abdominal pain, or blood in stool. 3. *Changes in stool color or consistency*: If stools become pale, greasy, or floating.
