Question 1

doctor my 13 month old boys weight is 11.5 kg and height is 80 cm. was it normal?

Accepted Answer

Normal growth: For a 13th month old boy, 11.5 kg falls within normal range and 80 cm falls within normal range. However, it is more important to see the growth curves at this age. You want to make sure that the boy is not growing faster or slower than normal growth rates. This usually requires multiple growth points over time plotted on a special growth chart.

Question 2

what number of calories should a 13 month old boy be eating?

Accepted Answer

Usually don't: Count calories in a 13 month old.  If he is normal size, then let him eat as much as he wants.  Do not regularly give him low calorie or low fat products.  Almost 100% of the time, he will eat the right amount of food that he needs to grow properly.

Question 3

i have a 13 month old boy with bronchiolitis & tonsillitis. can i give panado & coryx together?

Accepted Answer

I wouldn't: Coryx is not recommended by the manufacturer under age 2 &amp; its list of ingredients include chemicals that can thicken secretions. This is the opposite of what a kid with bronchiolitis needs. Plenty of fluids would be more helpful.

Accepted Answer

Feedings after 1yo.: Offer food every 3 hours- 3 meals, 2 snacks.  Provide well balanced meals and healthy snacks (fruit/vegs/dairy).  Consider milk with meals and water with snacks.  NO juice except occasionally!!  Don’t force feed.  Make it pretty &amp; tasty and he/she will eat.
