I'm really worried about my 24-day-old baby girl who cries a lot at night. We initially thought it was gas since that's pretty common with newborns, so we've been giving her Crosin drops as suggested by our paediatrician. I'm wondering if it's safe to keep giving her 4 drops daily? Are there any other medicines you would recommend? She seems to be doing well otherwise - she sleeps and eats well, with no fever or unusual symptoms. We feed her every 2.5 hours and her bowel movements are normal. Any advice on why she might be crying so much?

View allI'm really concerned about my 10-month-old who has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Is it safe for me to continue breastfeeding him? And is it okay to give him a bath while he's sick with this disease?
Yes, it is safe to continue breastfeeding your 10-month-old baby even if they have hand, foot, and mouth disease. In fact, breast milk can provide important nutrients and antibodies to help your baby recover faster. Yes, it is okay to bathe a baby with hand, foot, and mouth disease.

My baby boy is 9 months old and he's been having loose motions since last Friday. We saw a pediatrician who recommended giving him Nutrolin B twice a day and a Zinc Dry Powder Suspension once a day. Over the weekend, he had about 7 to 8 stools each day. Today, it's been 5 times so far. What's really worrying me is that his last 3 stools have been dark green in color. Should I be concerned about this? Do you think I should take him back to the pediatrician right away?
Consult your pediatrician immediately if you notice: Symptoms 1. Fever > 102F (39C) 2. Vomiting 3. Blood in stool 4. Refusal to feed 5. Signs of dehydration (dry mouth, fewer wet diapers) 6. Dark green stools persisting or worsening Additional Concerns 1. Infection (bacterial or parasitic) 2. Food intolerance (lactose or gluten) 3. Allergic reactions 4. Gastroenteritis (viral infection) Self-Care Measures 1. Continue current treatment (Nutrolin B, Zinc Suspension) 2. Monitor stool frequency, consistency, and color 3. Record temperature, appetite, and overall condition 4. Breastfeed or formula feed frequently 5. Offer electrolyte-rich fluids (ORS, coconut water)
