Question 1

when should i take pills?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: This is impossible for anyone to answer without knowing what pills you are talking about!

Question 2

when should i do feedings?

Accepted Answer

When baby is hungry!: Babies who are otherwise healthy are pretty good self-regulators; they'll let you know when they need to eat and when they are full. Most babies will feed every 2 to 3 hours or so, but this is quite variable - and it changes over time. Some newborns seem to do well feeding every 4 to 5 hours and some seem to need fed every 1 to 2 hours. Discuss your routine with your pediatrician.

Question 3

when should we stop naptime?

Accepted Answer

When ready...: Which means, a consistently alert, happy child throughout the day, most days, not becoming sleepy or cranky until actual bedtime.  Some (rarely) achieve it by 1 year of age; and in some countries, it is considered normal never to achieve it (siesta).

Question 4

when should i have a molemap?

Accepted Answer

Yearly: If you have a lot of moles or atypical moles or a family history of melanoma yearly exam and monthly self exam.

Question 5

when should i stop the bottle?

Accepted Answer

Begin at 1 year: The american academy of pediatrics recommends beginning the weaning process from bottle to cup at or before one year.  Children should be off the bottle by between 15-18 months old.  Weaning can sometimes be difficult; one method to try is to only offer milk from the sippy cup, not the bottle.  Starting early helps the weaning process.

Question 6

when should i take my metropol?

Accepted Answer

Metoprolol?: I think you mean metoprolol. I use chronotherapy as part of my practice. If you look at bad events like stroke or heart attack, they happen most between 4am and 8am. If you take medicine at 7am its effect occurs at 11 am or so and wanes by about 4 am. So for certain meds without water pill, i tell my patients to take them at night so peak effect is when it is most needed, even long acting.

Question 7

when should i start to work out?

Accepted Answer

Workouts: 13 is a good time to start working out.  You are still growing so you will get bigger and stronger without doing anything. I would recommend finding a mentor who is an adult and ask to join him or her in their workout. It's always more fun and safer working out with a partner. 3 days a week is plenty. At your age learn the proper lifting technique.  Don't be concerned about the amount of weight.

Question 8

when should i feel the baby move?

Accepted Answer

Varies: first pregnancy women don't know they feel it as well as more experienced. About 5-6 months.

Question 9

when should i switch off formula?

Accepted Answer

12 months: At your baby's 1 year birthday, you can switch from commercial baby formula to ordinary cow's milk, either whole or 2%.

Question 10

when should i wear an id bracelet?

Accepted Answer

ID bracelet: You should wear an id bracelet if you have a condition that can cause you to go unconscious and unable to tell others your medical history.  Id bracelet would give people -- including doctors & nurses -- some idea of what's happening, even if you cannot be interviewed at the moment. Makes help easier to get, if something should happen that you need it.
