Question 1

average weight of 5 month old monochorionic diamniotic twin fetus in grams?

Accepted Answer

5 months?: 300-500 grams at 21-22 weeks - please specify question in weeks not months for more details.

Question 2

5 month old has a chin quiver not related to seizures (had eeg done). saw neurologist who is not worried and will f/u at 9 mo. is this common or normal? was 6 weeks early. is alert and active, no other symptoms. not as noticeable as he grows older.

Accepted Answer

Normal baby : These are normal movements which have been thoroughly evaluated. Keep the neuro follow up at 9 months and check in with your pediatrician for his 6 month visit!

Question 3

i gave coke to five month old?

Accepted Answer

Soda to a 5mo old: Don't worry, there won't be any lasting harm if it was just a one time thing.  They'll be a little gassy and burpy, but that's it.  I probably don't even have to say it, but soda is not a good idea for any baby (and the same goes for toddlers and kids).  At 5mo old their endocrine systems are still developing and the effects of that much sugar and caffeine are not good.  The same goes for juice!

Question 4

is it okay for five month old to sleep in an aircon room during night time? arircon alone is better or aircon and fan at the same time is better?

Accepted Answer

Air con: A fan improves your aircon. If it is comfortable for you, it is probably good for your baby also. Save some of your energy bills and use the fan. Your baby will spend the money you save now, later!

Question 5

my i phone hit my five month old will he be ok my sister's a nurse but is at work i was n urseing him?

Accepted Answer

Baby trauma w phone: Would get the baby evaluated if any significant bruise or head trauma, especially if the baby is not acting the same or persistently crying.

Question 6

five month old constipation remedies?

Accepted Answer

Glycerin suppository: If a 5 or 6 month-old has been pushing when pooping, or pooping firm poops, a parent can try giving the child 2-3 ounces of regular prune juice, half prune half apple juice, or regular apple juice. A glycerin suppository can help and can be tried first, especially in babies who don't drink juice (some babies gag on juice). If the constipation is ongoing, a doctor can evaluate and offer more ideas.

Question 7

how often can i give my five month old a liquid suppository?

Accepted Answer

Sup use infant: You can use suppository for an infant
daily until results and outcome i.e. 
constipation resolve. The OTC suppository
can be used over a week trial along with 
diet, fluids. If abdominal pain occurs, distention
develops, cal and speak to a pediatrician

Question 8

how can i help with the teething of our five month old girl child?

Accepted Answer

Ice: Cold is very refreshing to a child that is teething.  One easy thing you can give your child to chew and suck on is a moistened washcloth that has been frozen.  It will adapt to the tissues and numb the gums a bit.

Question 9

five month old stooling four times a day. he is at 60% for weight and 90% for height, no apparent weight problems. could this be malabsorption?

Accepted Answer

May be normal: If your baby is breastfeeding, four stools daily is entirely normal.  If on formula, this may still be normal. If the stools are odorous and loose, it may suggest a lactose intolerance if he/she is on a dairy-based formula, however.   In any case it does not sound like malabsorption as his growth is entirely appropriate at this time.  Do talk to your doctor about your concerns.

Question 10

let me rephrase my five month old does not seem interested in trying baby foods purees not solids sorry..what age should they start to be interested?

Accepted Answer

Too early: Babies do not need solids in the first year.Formula or breast milk are total nutrition. As a culture, we generally begin offering solids as a puree as soon as they sit up,which is about the time their tongue thrust fades. Six months is the earliest I start and I let the kid decide when they are ready.You may offer an item a dozen times before they decide to try it. Be patient.
