I'm wondering if it's okay to give my 18-month-old NAN Pro powder stage 4. It just seems like my little one isn't gaining much weight. I've heard that NAN can help with baby weight gain. Is it safe, and could there be any side effects I should know about?

NAN Pro powder stage 4 is not recommended for children below 2 years of age. It is specifically formulated for older toddlers. For weight gain in younger children, you can consider using Pediasure. It is a nutritional supplement that can help with weight gain in children. The recommended dosage for Pediasure is 1-2 servings per day, as advised by your pediatrician. Always consult with your child's pediatrician before starting any new supplement.

Can I use a nebulizer for my daughter while she's asleep? She's been taking off the mask when she's awake. The doctor suggested using duolin 1ml mixed with 1ml of NS liquid.
