Question 1

is it normal for small boys to wake up with erection?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The wiring for this activity is present from birth on and intermittent male erections are possible at any age.

Question 2

is it ok to put a little cereal in my almost six weeks boys bottle just at a night feeding ?

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea: Formula is balanced nutrition ; adding cereals to the bottle does not make kids grow better or sleep better. Multiple studies have documented this fact. Feeding too close to bedtime actually increases problems with night waking up to age 3-4.

Question 3

is the size of my penis too small? boys stare in locker room

Accepted Answer

Possibly: The size of your penis cannot be changed or altered by medications. It will continue to grow through puberty so do not focus on the size before then. If by chance you are still concerned about having a small penis, you will need blood tests to evaluate your hormone function and if low, medications may be needed but this usually not needed.

Question 4

im pregnant if my boys try to be a little rough with me will my baby in me be ok?

Accepted Answer

Likely : The basic answer is probably yes. The fetus is cushioned by layers of tissue/water that cushion any external trauma. If your OBGYN has placed you on any restriction because of problems this may be more of a problem. I would bring the issue up at your next progress visit.

Question 5

i'm 34 have 3 little boys i have been on nexium 40mg for 14 years no problem it's all that works if i have to can i take 40 years more and be ok?

Accepted Answer

Risk of side effects: Long term use of a nexium can lead to many adverse effects, including gastrointestinal infections/colitis, malabsorption of vitamins, decreased calcium levels and increased fracture risk, increased risk of pneumonia. PPI use longer than 6mo-1yr isn't generally recommended. It's important to talk to your doctor about how to decrease these risks and discuss alternatives.

Question 6

little boys penis tip swollen, what could be wrong?

Accepted Answer

Swollen penis tip: Your child has balanitis which is swelling of the head of the penis usually seen in uncircumcised boys due to poor hygiene.apply antibiotic ointment several times a day. If no improvement see your doctor

Question 7

i have 4 boys and im happy but my husbands dream is a little girl.. anything i can do at home do help.. thanks?

Accepted Answer

Not specificly: It is the swimmer(sperm) who gets there first that determines the sex of the baby. There is no special position, tea, day of the month or whatever else you heard that makes any difference.

Question 8

i havent had my little boys ears checked and im feeling like i need too.
hes 22 months and his speech is developing very slowly. at times he also grabs his ears?

Accepted Answer

Reasonable idea: Hearing assessment can be done both by a physician generally or by an audiologist with specialized equipment. The best approach starts with the physician who can assess the ears for retained fluid or infection. Slow acquisition of speech is also a marker for other forms of developmental delay &amp; all areas deserve a close evaluation.

Question 9

is it normal for young boys to have a penis a little bit inclined downward  (i am not saying like curved) to some degree in standing position or it shows some weakness? i mean if penis almost straight but a little bit inclined with base.

Accepted Answer

Gravity pulls: A young boy (such as at age 5 years) in a upright position will have a flaccid penis in the downward position due to the Earth's gravity, unless there is something working against gravity (such water in the swimming pool, etc...). His erect penis may point slightly downward, straight ahead, or a bit upward, but in a young boy we don't worry about his erections unless the tip looks curved downward.

Question 10

is it fair for little boys and girls to be forced to play sports?

Accepted Answer

No but yes!: Every child needs  physical activity, not only for physical health, but also mental health. However, activities must be tailored to likes and dislikes. A quote of mine! "what is the difference between play and exercise? It is like sex versus artificial insemination.  If you enjoy it, no one has to force you to do it!" it is important to enjoy physical activity, since it carries over to adulhood!
