I'm a bit concerned about my baby's digestion since I started giving them powdered milk. Is it normal for infants to have digestive issues with it? I've been using Lactogen 1, and I'm unsure if that's the best choice. Could you share some advice or solutions for these digestion problems?

Treatment and cure:_

  1. Antifungal creams: Continue using the prescribed fungal cream, as balanitis is often caused by fungal infections like candida.
  2. Good hygiene: Practice good genital hygiene, including gentle cleaning with soap and water, to prevent bacterial or fungal growth.
  3. Topical steroids: Your doctor may prescribe topical steroids to reduce inflammation and itching.
  4. Antibiotics: If the infection is bacterial, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics.

Scars on the foreskin:

  1. Fungal infections can cause scarring: Repeated fungal infections can lead to scarring on the foreskin.
  2. Circumcision may be recommended: In severe cases, circumcision may be recommended to prevent future infections and scarring.

Why it's not yet fixed:

  1. Inadequate treatment duration: 15 days might not be enough to fully clear the infection.
  2. Insufficient hygiene practices: Make sure to practice good genital hygiene to prevent re-infection.
  3. Underlying conditions: Certain conditions, such as diabetes or immune system disorders, can increase the risk of recurring balanitis.

My little one is 4.5 months old and Ive noticed he always keeps his mouth open. Whenever I try to close it, he just opens it wider like he thinks something is coming his way. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could it mean something more, or is it just a phase?

-It sounds like your little one is still learning about his surroundings and his mouth is one of the first areas he explores. It's completely normal for babies at this age to have their mouths open often as they try to understand different sensations, inc
