Question 1

how tall should my daughter get if her mom is 5'5" and her dad is 6'?

Accepted Answer

About 5'6": In a perfect world, she would be 5'6".  Using the midparental height calculation, this is the number that i come up with.  Of course, nutrition, exercise level, and age at menarche all influence a girl's final adult height!  the earlier that menses occurs,  bone growth slows down!

Question 2

i'm a first time mom. my daughter is three months. she just recently stopped napping and is not sleepijng good at all at night. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

The sleep patterns v: In the first 6 months the sleep patterns vary. Try to keep her more awake during the day(especially in the evenings) so that she is more tired in the evening and falls sleep easier.

Question 3

my daughter and i are showing mild symptoms of covid after being in contact with a positive person on 17th dec, we have been isolating since monday 21st, i am worried that if we have it we could pass it to my elderly mom living with us, please assist?

Accepted Answer

Possible COVID 19: Keep her in a different living space for now. Wash hands often with warm water &amp; soap for at least 20 seconds. Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth unless hands have just been washed. Use a face covering or mask when with her. Practice social distancing – stay at least 6 feet from your mother. Stay away from crowds. Stay home as much as possible.

Question 4

could this mood swinging in my teen daughter and her mom both be hormonal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: When two or more women live together they tend to have pms (including mood swings, cravings and bloating) at the same time.  However, if the women in your life have depressive symptoms for more than 3 weeks they should see their physician to make sure they are not clinically depressed.

Question 5

my mom tested positive for covid and my daughter and i have been exposed to her.

Accepted Answer

ZA or USA?: Rest, hydration, acetaminophen, decongestant, cough med &amp; nasal saline irrigation may help mild symptoms. Make sure to quarantine. Get emergency care for difficulty breathing, blue lips or face or new-onset of confusion.My understanding is that in South Africa- one needs to consult with a medical provider who will then make the determination about whether they will make a COVID 19 testing referral

Question 6

i saw a friend days ago and her mom told her today that a friend that had visited a week ago had a daughter who tested positive for covid. my friend kept her distance from her moms friend and never actually had contact with the daughter. am i exposed?

Accepted Answer

Probably not exposed: It doesn't count as an exposure unless you have contact with a COVID infected person. Contact with an asymptomatic contact to a case usually doesn't count.

Question 7

psychological standpoint: can you spoil a baby? 4 mo daughter prefers dad over mom. normal?

Accepted Answer

Get help now: Wow. Please call your therapist immediately. A four month old baby is still learning how to see and hear. She has no intellectual abilities to have a preference. She is four months old. A pure baby.  Your reaction to this is extremely worrisome.

Question 8

should i let my daughter get serious about a young man who has single older mom and donor father?

Accepted Answer

Nature Nurture: In my opinion it is not who donates the egg or the sperm but who raises the child. If the issue is genetics the mother should be able to get a history on the donor father.

Question 9

my mom myself and my daughter all have a positive ana. is this a generic thing? what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Probably: If a parent has a positive ana, the children of the parent are also more likely to have a positive ANA without clinically disease.

Question 10

is it normal for a mom or dad to get horny or turned on when they see there daughter or son masturbating?

Accepted Answer

: Yes. Any erotic image can make a normal adult "horny".
