Question 2

my boy is 47days old.i wanna start using pampers from his 2months age. babies have very sensitive skin. would be there any side affects for this?

Accepted Answer

No problem: It should be fine to use a larger diaper for a smaller baby.  The opposite (using a small diaper for a big baby) can be too tight and rub on the skin more.

Question 3

my infant (boy) is 7 and half and his hb is 10.5 against 11+ .. is that level healthy? he was breastfed.

Accepted Answer

Nadir: Term infants generally reach a nadir (low) hemoglobin around 9 months, about the time when maternal stores of iron have been depleted.  Timing of this drop varies some with premature babies and degree of drop may be more dramatic if mother was anemic during pregnancy .  Although not technically considered anemic at 10.5, it may drop further over the next several weeks.

Question 4

if you lose one testicle, can you still make both boy babies and girl babies?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can: Sex of a baby is determined by the sperm. 50% of a man's sperm carry a y chromosome, which after fertilization will result in boy, and likewise 59% carry an x chromosome which will result in a girl. Most men with a single testicle are quite fertile. Good luck.

Question 5

what do you suggest if my infant (boy) is 7 and half and his hb is 10.5 against 11+ .. so is dat severe. he was on breastfeeding.?

Accepted Answer

Nothing: Nothing. A hemoglobin of 10.5 in a 7 month old is normal.

Question 6

is giving tender coconut water safe for babies less than 1 year or so... ?i really care my baby boy ...... :) :')

Accepted Answer

Feeding Babies: Yes, of course, as long as you are not substituting vital feedings and these calories with coconut water. Water like this must be used only in addition to regular feedings.

Question 7

hi dr, could you please let me know, o positive girl and boy marriage cause any problem for their babies. please clarify..

Accepted Answer

No...: Having the same blood type as your spouse will not be the cause of any problems in the children.

Question 8

does fetal alcohol syndrome affect boy babies or girl babies more?

Accepted Answer

Equal opportunity: The metabolic break down products of alcohol that produce fetal alcohol effects or syndrome appear not to care what sex baby is. The targets of cell growth in heart, brain, facial feature etc. All track more or less at the same pace in pregnancy for both genders.

Question 9

how can you tell if your having a boy or a girl.by the way your carrying or it or by the way the other babies inter act with the fetus?

Accepted Answer

Neither.: It doesn't matter how you are carrying the baby, whether s/he kicks, whether a gold ring dangling from a chain goes back and forth or around in circles, or any other old wives tale.  Each pregnancy you have exactly a 50:50 chance of getting one or the other gender.  Sex can be determined by ultrasound or amniocentesis (some of the amniotic flood is take with a needle and tested).

Question 10

im having a baby boy & will not be circumcising him. 
ive seen some horror stories of doctors force retracting a babies foreskin. is this common? 
i read that its damaging/dangerous, is that true? how do i ask a doctor properly to not retract it?

Accepted Answer

: Just say, "Please don't retract his foreskin, OK?" In the current modern era, no doctor retracts a baby's foreskin unless there's a special reason such as needing to place a catheter. Babies are born complete, finished, and perfectly fine (except for the few unlucky ones with birth defects), so we don't need to cut any parts off. Circumcisions are done for religious and cultural reasons sometimes.
