Question 1

is 37 aged woman too old to have a baby?

Accepted Answer

Definitely not: Age does increase your risk of chromosomal abnormalities, like down's syndrome.   There is also increased risk of miscarriage and twins.  Older women who don't have high blood pressure, diabetes and are not overweigt can do well. I had my kids at 38 and 40.  Check with your doctor.

Question 2

my 22 months old baby boy weighs 11kgs but i don't know his height. what is the normal weight and height of babies at this age?he is very playfull.

See below: For his age, 11 kg puts him in the 15th %ile; 15th %ile for height at that age would be 82 cm. Average (50%ile for 22-mo-old is 86 cm and 12.4 kg

Question 3

my 3.5 month old baby sleeps for max 45 min stretches at night. this doesn't seem normal for babies of this age. is this bad for his development?

Accepted Answer

Will get by: Baby will do better than you with this. I would change the kid back to a more traditional night pattern.If you never allow the kid more than 2 hours of sleep at a time during the day, waking him to feed or whatever, you can get his deep sleep segment to go back to nights when you don't wake him.Don't feed prior to sleep, only feed on awakening.

Question 4

what age does hearing fully develop in an infant and how can loud constant music effect an infant? what decible is considered harmful to a 1 year old?

Accepted Answer

Birth: Hearing is developed at birth...Sooner...As we know unborn babies can hear their parents voices! and they respond to music. No one should be listening to music louder than 85 decibels.

Question 5

what is the risk to a two month old infant if they are infected with omicron? how likely is something like death or serious illness in a baby that age? what kind of symptoms might they get?

Accepted Answer

: The family members and any caregivers should receive their Flu and COVID-19 vaccinations.
Use good hand washing and a mask while caring for the baby. The risk is then lessened. If there is any fever, signs of illness including diarrhea and vomiting, please see your Pediatrician and request a COVID-19 test. There may be additional tests as indicated.Most healthy infants do well.

Question 6

do to a fall, my 6 week old infant needed a cat scan. what are the side effects of a scan at such a young age? the dr said cancer but how soon?

Accepted Answer

Wouldn't worry: There is a tiny increase in cancer risk later in life children who have a bunch of ct scans.  We're exposed to unavoidable natural radiation every day, and compared to this, the dose you get from a worthwhile ct scan is trivial.  I'm glad junior is okay and has a parent who care so much.

Question 7

what is youngest age you can  give infant pedialyte? newborn? if 2or 3 week old is vomiting few times (no fever) try to see if pedialyte is tolerated?

Accepted Answer

Being baby to dr: Bring baby to pediatrician, vomiting in newborn can be sign of congenital disorder, you shouldn't need pedialyte for newborn, do not give it before discussing with pediatrician

Question 8

good day, my wife just visited a gp at medipark centurion who felt it is not necessary to conduct a covid-19 test. she has flu-like symptoms, a dry cough and measured a slight fever of 37.4c. we have a two week old infant at home and my mom who is 61?

Accepted Answer

Avoid contact: She should avoid contact with your mom. Good hand washing, keeping surfaces clean and keeping a distance from household members may reduce transmission. She should stay at home for 7 days after the resolution of symptoms. To feed the baby, Dad or another member of the family may feed the baby to allow her to rest and avoid contact with the baby while ill. If the baby becomes ill, M.D. to see.

Question 9

is  there a  way  for  a  woman  to  breastfeed an infant  not  of  her  own  ?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The term "wet nurse" applied to those whose primary employment in the eighteen hundreds was as surrogate to women who could not or chose not to breast feed their kids.It happens occasionally today, mostly within close nit family systems.Docs can induce lactation in those wanting to do so.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Yes, during labor: Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted infection that should be routinely screened for at the first prenatal visit.  Screening is offered again at the beginning of the third trimester.  It can be safely treated during pregnancy and should be as the infection can be transmitted to the baby during labor and can cause eye infections as well as pneumonia.
