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.

I'm worried about my 4-month-old baby's feet and hands. They're often wet and sweaty, especially when he's sleeping or feeding. It's more than what seems normal to us. Is this something to be concerned about, or is it normal for babies this age?

Hi there, I understand your concern. Frequent stools after each feed can sometimes be a sign of digestive sensitivity or a mild intolerance, but since the stool test is normal, it's good to rule out infections. I recommend closely monitoring the baby's feeding patterns and discussing with your pediatrician about possible adjustments to the feeding routine or exploring other underlying causes for the weight concerns.
