Question 1

for women, is it safe and good to use baby powder down below.?

Accepted Answer

Corn starch: If you want to use powder on your genitals use a product with corn starch rather than talc. Talcum powder might cause cancer of the ovaries. It's not a big risk, but as long as there's a good alternative it's probably wise not to use talcum powder.

Question 2

is pacifier good for an infant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The general answer is yes. It is a great way to calm a baby and avoid overfeeding. It has also been thought to decrease chances of sudden infant death syndrome. Do consider: do not start until 3-4 weeks if you are breast feeding (nipple confusion) and definitely take away by age 1 yr. Although you could use it up to age 18-24 mo, it is harder to wean at that age and may affect teeth and speech dev.

Question 3

can hydrocortizon is good for babies?

Accepted Answer

No: Only your pediatrician or specialist they refer you to should instruct you about whether Hydrocortisone is appropriate for your child.

Question 4

what is good medicine for an infant with a cold?

Accepted Answer

None: No cold medication is recommended for children under the age of 6 years, especially an infant.  Use of saline nasal spray with nasal aspiration is something that may help relieve nasal symptoms.

Question 5

good day, are lennon products safe to use for babies?

Accepted Answer

: Can't say: You ask a brief but broad question about products from one source with no mention of what product or product you are concerned about. Since most of the volunteer docs on this site live &amp; the USA where this company is unknown it is hard to comment. If you would list specific products we could look up the ingredients or product &amp; might have an opinion on their safety.

Question 6

is baby powder now unsafe for babies?  i used it on all my kids.

Accepted Answer

Safe: It no longer has talc which used to lodge in the lungs, so today's products are safe if used in moderation.

Question 7

good day, i would like to know how safe is melotonien for babies of 10 months?

Accepted Answer

No guidelines: Melatonin is a commonly used sleep aid in adults. At the present time we have no published guidelines on using this in kids, especially in infants. As such I don't recommend it. If you are using it limit the dose to the smallest available, usually 1mg

Question 8

hello good morning i am o+ and my fiance is b rhd negative.pls are compatible in terms of making babies?

Accepted Answer

No problem: In modern healthcare there are few problems left with blood group compatibilities. If you were Rh negative, it would require some extra therapy but with access to modern OB care healthy babies would not be a real problem. B to O can trigger a mild ABO jaundice but it is rarely more than an inconvenience.

Question 9

my wife just turned 32.  is she still at a good age for making babies?  we've been trying for 2 years for baby #1.

Accepted Answer

Great age for babies: By all means don't give up. While risks for problems like genetic defects increase with age, that specific risk is not higher than the general risk any woman has with  any pregnancy of some unexpected outcome (cleft, premi, infection) ~4%. Genetic defect risk doesn't hit 1% until you get into your 40's.

Question 10

prunes for babies, good or bad?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You can feed a baby prunes.  They are a laxative and you will need to be careful not to give enough to cause diarrhea.
