Question 1

my 1 month old infant has severe acid influx, choking and lots of hick ups. what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Baby with choking: For a month old baby, please see your doctor for a good history and physical.   This may be normal or serious and deserves expert evaluation.  Your doctor may suggest medication, positioning, or even a change in diet.  Meanwhile, keeping your baby upright may be helpful.

Question 2

1 month old infant with forehead temp of 98.9, is it considered a fever?

Accepted Answer

No: Pediatricians consider greater than or equal to 100.4 to be fever in a child less than one year of age.  It is important to take the temperature recatally as this will give you the most accurate body temperature location.

Question 3

is it serious enough to go out to see a pediatrician these days for raynaud's syndrome in infant  my son 1 month old?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely diagnosis: All infants have a system designed to maximize growth while minimizing energy loss. This shows up when their uncovered fingers/toes/ears  become pale or bluish in a room where the temperature is below their body temperature. If placed in a warm tub these structures blush immediately. It is not Raynaud's but their design to avoid heat loss. It fades as they become older/bulkier.

Question 4

my 1 month old infant has bright orange liquid stools that are foul smelling and can't go without me taking his temperature rectally every 5-6 days.

Accepted Answer

See Doctor: Some sensitivity to the milk, may need tests on stools and change in milk.

Question 5

my babies lips are turning a dark color and he is just over 1 month old, also he seems to be struggling to  stool but there is no blood and the poo is not hard when he eventually stools.

Accepted Answer

It happens: The best way to verify a baby has good circulation/oxygen is to put a fingertip below an eye &amp; tug down until the inner lid is seen. Pink=good oxygen. Lips may be chilled or darker occasionally as baby tries to hold on to their heat. The same thing can be seen with fingers/toes when exposed. Babies have soft/weak belly muscles &amp; often use fussing/breathing muscles to push food along/poop.

Question 6

is constipation in babies normal? my 1 month old girl has constipation and doesn't poop every day and her stomach feels hard?

Accepted Answer

Constipation: If you are breastfeeding, your child can have a stool with each feeding, go once a day or go as long as a week without having a stool. The child is not constipated, but a peculiarity of breast feeding.

Question 7

1 month old, formula feed infant has dark green poop that smells like skunk (sometimes stringy looking)...baby is gassy as well. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Could be: The first thing I would want to make sure is that your child is gaining weight appropriately and thriving.  If that is the case, there are numerous things that could be of help, such as different formulas.  That decision can be best made with your child's doctor who will know what formula your child is and/or has been on.  Good luck.

Question 8

is it safe to use benzethonium chloride (such as wet ones wipe) on 1-month old infant boy's face? he got acne and dr suggested antibacterial soap, but it was hard to apply. i am thinking of using just water and then wipe with wet one without rinse.

Accepted Answer

Maybe, but why...: Why look at it that way? Maybe it has nothing to do with bacteria. Babies have no bacteria before birth. In vaginal deliveries, babies are coated with Mom's vaginal and poop bacteria (is nature's design). Note that C-section babies miss this oppornity. Babies must get natural bacterial to have normal health. After birth, a baby's hormonal balance changes, which is in part responsible for rashes.

Question 9

my 1month baby doesnt sleep during day at all. hi is awake for 9-12hours, after that he wake up only to  eat,then back to sleep. is normal for a baby?

Accepted Answer

Newborn sleep: Like adults, each baby has their own unique sleeping pattern. As long as he sleeps well at night, waking to eat and is happy and content while he is awake during the day, I believe it is fine. Enjoy him, they  grow so fast. Thanks for consulting with Healthtap!

Question 10

should my baby be snooring at 1 month old?

Accepted Answer

Snoring: No. There might be something  abnormal in upper airway.
