Some babies have this as a result of underlying scalp conditions which must be treated. There is really no reason for the hair loss and it will just grow back on its own. You need to be careful not to use any products that will worsen the hair loss. It is better to see your Paediatrician or Dermatologist first"

Treatment or management of Convulsions is best done by a neurologist. You need to take the child to the hospital immediately after recovering from the convulsion for thorough examination and treatment.
When you notice any form of Convulsion. The first thing to do is to bring your child's temperature down are by undressing your child so that they are just wearing a single layer (for example a singlet and pants). Also, make sure the room is not too hot or too cold. You can also administer paracetamol
Ensure the child is treated early depending on the cause of the fever.
The soft hole or part of your baby's head which many think is abnormality is A NORMAL PART of the baby’s head. It is called the Anterior Fontanelle (AF). You can browse about it on google.
Every baby has it. So it is not “OKA” or any other thing….It is a normal part of the baby’s head. Don't use anything for it. If your baby is having any other symptoms, you need to see your doctor.

Since ur period hasn't returned, theres no way to track ur safe and unsafe periods. Go for a suitable family planning. Although lactational amenorrhoea is a natural firm of family planning but it has its failure rates too. Some women get pregnant even without seeing their period while breastfeeding. That's why it is advised to go for family planning 6 weeks post delivery. Visit any govt hospital in ur area. All d best!
It depends on the diagnostic centre. It is about 4000 on average.
Please take your baby to the hospital.

Thats means you have not not been feeding ur baby adequately. A baby should be fed every 2 hours max 3 hours and u empty one breast before putting him to d other one. In addition, make sure u are eating healthy meals. Breastmilk is d best for ur baby in d first 6 months of life. After 6 months, u can introduce supplementary food. What's his/her birth weight and whats d weight now? All d best!
Please, try Cacatin. You can see to buy in most primary health centres. It works really
