Question 1

my 9 wk wants to eat 4 oz every 2 hours he is 13 lb am.i over feeding?

Accepted Answer

Is he really hungry?: Babies lips are supplied with  lots of nerve fibers that send pleasure to the brain.Sucking/smacking/rooting does not always mean hunger.Babies will often take the extra & may plump up fast. I find it helpful to wake babies with feeding after a 2hr day nap, then change & clean, play hard until tired & put down to nap when tired. No refills at bedtime.Rest/sleep 2hr then start over.

Question 2

Advil (ibuprofen)?: Did you mean advil (Ibuprofen).  If so, that medication is fine with propanolol.

Antioxidants: The acai berry is very rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins and flavonoids which are reported to  reduce free radical formation &  to help protect from some cancers.

Question 6

Yes: Having diabetes would not preclude you from taking that medication.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Dermatology : Seeing a dermatologist or going to a medical aesthetics facility will help. Peels and laser resurfacing or derm abrasion and facials may help.

Question 8

i have very dry akin around my anus.  how do i treat this?

Accepted Answer

Petroleum Jelly: Try a light application of petroleum jelly. This can get quite annoying. Make sure that you are drinking enough water during each day so your bowel movements are soft enough. If constipation is a problem, consider using a generic brand of polyethylene glycol an osmotic laxative. Ask pharmacist.

Question 9

bladder still hurts aftter bladderlift 6wks ago.is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends on type of surgery, need for mesh, amount of dissection that needed to be done during surgery and how bad was your bladder defect.

You need to be more specific about your complaint and any other associated symptoms.  Some patients can have severe urgency, frequency and pain after bladder suspensions.  Hope this helps.

Question 10

can you take alli as once offs or does it need to be taken continuously?

Accepted Answer

Diet Pills: I would recommend you not waste your money or your health on this product.  This, like much of the weight loss supplements market, is not a product that will lead you to real or lasting weight loss.  It will, however, postpone your making life changes and lowering your calories and sugars that you should not be eating.
