Don't worry. Sometimes when toddlers are learning to walk, many spend some time walking up on their tip toes, which is known as toe walking

Please, do not give Ribena. it is not advisable to introduce sugary drink to your baby and if you must, it shouldn't be introduced until your baby is a year old.
Bad breath or "Halitosis" in children can occur due to several reasons like poor oral hygiene, tooth decay, gum disease, infections in the mouth, bacteria on the tongue, dry mouth, tonsil stones, foreign objects in the nose and some medical conditions.
Did your child undergo laboratory tests before those drugs were prescribed?
please visit the hospital for cost, as this may vary from one hospital to the other.

It is not normal
A swab test involves taking a sample of secretions from the infected area with a device that looks like a cotton bud. The swab, with secretions attached, is then placed in a special container and sent to the microbiology laboratory for further analysis

Yes it is okay for a baby to take paracetamol to soothe his pain or calm fever after immunisation. The paracetamol should be given immediately AFTER the immunisation especially if s/he develops a fever.... So give one dose first AFTER the vaccination and if no subsequent fever, you can stop.
Please be calm,Babies on exclusive breastfeeding may not pass stools every day even up to two weeks and there is no need to worry as long as the baby is otherwise fine... Eating well... No vomiting and no swollen tummy
Sleep when baby sleeps and be awake when he's awake... Follow his pattern first then he will adapt to yours after a few weeks. That is what using my Mummy's word is called being an "Abiyamo".... Being a mother is synonymous with regular night or if you like baby vigils. Welcome to motherhood
Eat smaller, but more frequent meals. Instead of eating a large breakfast, lunch and dinner, eat smaller portions with healthy snacks in between meals, Avoid food with too many vegetable oils. Some moms find chewing gums helpful too

You can keep them in the car seat put in an upright position if you are too tired or busy to carry them that long...others can help too.....sometimes that may not work and ....but we will do that only if it so bad and not allowing the baby to gain weight....please see your paediatricians for further management at that point
Dear Mum, No. Do not mix beverage with your baby Pap.
Please hold on till s/he is a year old
