Question 1

my one year old graanson stil clenches his fists like an infant. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Constant or sometime: If the kid can open the hands at will to touch items with a single finger & explore objects i would worry less . If the hand is held tightly clenched all the time you should have him evaluated.That would suggest neurologic injury.

I recommend ending the pacifier between the ages of 12 and 24 months.

Accepted Answer

Can be normal: Mucus in the stool can be a normal variant of healthy stool.  Many infections can cause mucus as well but this is usually accompanied by diarrhea.  If you notice that the mucus is continuous or it is associated with blood then take your baby to their primary care provider for evaluation.
