I'm wondering if giving formula milk to my 2-month-old baby could have any side effects. I actually have enough breast milk, but my little one's weight hasn't increased much. Our doctor mentioned using MMS milk powder. Should I be concerned about using the formula, or is it generally safe for my baby at this age?

MMS formula feed is considered safe and nutritious for infants. However, if breast milk is available in sufficient quantity, it would be more advisable to give priority to breast milk over formula feed, due to its immunity boosting and psychologically nurturing effects.

I'm really concerned about my little one who's almost 1 and a half years old. He's still breastfeeding, but my wife isn't doing well health-wise. She's struggling with depression and is really weak, so she can't keep breastfeeding. We've tried giving our kid food and fruits, but he still cries a lot for his mother's milk and doesn't like drinking regular milk. Could you please give us advice on how to wean him off breastfeeding?

I'm worried about my 12-year-old brother. He's been saying that when he's watching TV and sees a female actor, some sticky stuff comes out of his penis without him doing anything. He also masturbates every day. Is this some kind of side effect from masturbation, or is it a normal thing for boys his age?
Your brother is experiencing premature ejaculation, which can be triggered by sexual arousal such as when watching TV. Masturbating daily at his age is also quite common. To help with premature ejaculation, he can try using a topical anesthetic cream like lidocaine cream applied to the penis before intercourse. Additionally, practicing techniques like the start-stop method or the squeeze technique during masturbation can also help. If the issue persists, he may consider seeing a doctor for further evaluation and management.
