Question

My little one, only 9 months old, has caught lice and nits from his nanny. It's gotten pretty bad, and I'm at a bit of a loss. Is there a safe pediculicide for infants? What should I do?

Question

I'm really concerned because my baby has fallen off the bed three times now. Each time, he landed on his tummy, and thankfully his head didn't get hurt. He's in his ninth month and seems active and normal now. I'm just worried if these falls might cause any problems in the future. Should I be concerned about anything?

Question

I'm really worried about something my girlfriend told me. Back when she was in 2nd grade, there was this boy just a few months younger than her who tried to have sex with her. She mentioned that he tried to put his penis inside her, but she can't remember if he was actually successful. I'm just trying to understand if that means she lost her virginity back then or not. Is it possible she's still considered a virgin?

Question

I'm wondering if it's okay to give my newborn 5 ml of Gastica drops once a day. I'm really hoping it might help with their digestion and gas issues. Is it safe and effective for little ones?
