Don't: If he's hungry, he'll eat. Your focus as a parent is to get him to eat nutritious food -- there's an epidemic of obese kids in the country and you need to get him to eat well and healthy, not more.

A member asked:
Is it normal for my 1-year-old to be shy?

Dr. Marcus Degraw answered

Yes: Of course! stranger anxiety is an important part of infant development and usually will start shortly after 6 months and peak at 1-2 years of age. Of course, some infants are more shy than others and some are outgoing - just like adults! there is no need to worry about this trait and no need to try to fix it.

My is my 1 year old getting mrsa?

Dr. Theresa Willett answered

MRSA is everywhere: Many people have MRSA and do not know it. It is similar to an even more common bacteria but has become resistant to penicillins and some other antibiotics, so it helps to know about it when treating an infection. If someone in the home has been found to carry mrsa, there is a good chance he has been exposed, but that does not mean anything bad. Just let his doc know in case of infections.

If you're worried that your baby is getting a skin infection it's best to have him seen by his physician. Whether or not its MRSA, a skin infection should be evaluated.

Growth spurt: It may be she is going through a growth spurt and getting hungry. Revise her feeding schedule and offer her some solids for supper.
Is she teething?
Is she in the same room as you? Sometimes they realize its nicer to be in moms bed.

State hotlines: In most states there is a hotline where you can report suspicion of abuse or neglect anonymously. The intake person will take down the observations you report & assign the report a case number. Depending on the state you can avoid further contact or agree to be interviewed by a case worker.Cases are prioritized so life threatening cases are worked first & lesser cases later. Make the call.
