Question 1

my son just turned 1 and we have changed formula from nan optipro 2 to optipro 3. he appears to be constipated but small runny poops are coming out now.

what is better, nido growing milk, cows milk, optipro 3 or parmalat growing milk?

Accepted Answer

You decide: Any benefits of a formula product fade as the child passes a year and acquires a diet diverse in content. Milk supplies the calcium they need for bone growth along wit fat content needed for brain growth. The other items in formula are found in the variety of fruit/vegetables/meats that are part of a good diet. I consider the "grow-up" formulas  more an advertising gimmick than a need.

Question 2

failed pregnancy.  baby stop growing @6wks. which is better d&c or natural miscarriage... i don't want to have problem getting pregnant. in the future?

Accepted Answer

Talk to OB: Your obstetrician can best advise you.  Generally, there are medications that can induce you to miscarry, and afterwards, an ultrasound to confirm that you have lost all of the conceptus.  If not, you would then require a d&c.

Question 3

how to grow tall?

Accepted Answer

Exercise, eat, sleep: Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase height beyond one's natural destiny.

Question 4

how to grow tall?

Accepted Answer

Exercise, eat, sleep: Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase height. In rare cases, growth hormone is approved for use in younger, extremely short kids.

Question 5

does freckles grow?

Accepted Answer

They can: Freckles can grow with sun exposure.  Many people who are freckled will notice an increase in both the darkness and the number of their freckles after they've been out in the sun. Be sure to use SPF when you're out in the sun.  If there are "freckles" that don't look like the others, or are changing in shape or color, be sure to see a doctor to make sure they aren't something else.

Question 6

how to grow an inch?

Accepted Answer

No easy way...: There are no medical interventions or lifestyle modifications that will cause your body to grow an inch. It is genetically determined. For much younger patients who are found to be deficient in growth hormone, administration of this drug can help them get closer to attaining their natural height.

Question 7

is there a way to stop growing?

Accepted Answer

No: I would learn to accept yourself. Height is a gift !

Question 8

is it possible to grow shorter?

Accepted Answer

Becoming shorter: People who develop compression vertebral fractures from osteoporosis do lose height.

Question 9

till when a person keeps on growing?

Accepted Answer

Men 18-21, girls 14: Most men stop growing around age 18- but occasionally  some will grow until age 21 or so. Women stop growing about 2 years after they start menstruating. Our height is mostly determined by genetics but taking measures to increase your production of growth hormone can maximize your potential.

Accepted Answer

Probably not: The epiphyseal plates fuse at about the age of 25 years. So theoretically you can still grow.
