Question 1

Hi doctor, my baby is 30 days old. He was fair when he was born, but his skin has gotten darker over time. Ive been using Tedibar soap, but Im not sure if thats causing it. Could this be because of the summer heat, or is there another reason? Please advise.

Accepted Answer

The darkening of your baby's skin tone is likely due to natural melanin production and adaptation to the environment, rather than the soap or summer heat; continue using gentle, fragrance-free soap like Tedibar, and consider consulting your pediatrician to rule out any underlying conditions, but in most cases, this change is harmless and may stabilize over time

Question 2

My 7-month-old baby poops right after every feed. Her diet includes cerelac and milk, but she always poops immediately after being fed. Is this normal or should I be concerned? Im really worried.

Accepted Answer

It is quite common for babies to have bowel movements after feeding, especially when they are consuming milk or cerelac. This is because the gastrocolic reflex is stimulated by the intake of food, leading to bowel movements. However, if your baby's stools are consistently watery, contain blood, or if your baby is showing signs of discomfort or distress, it is important to consult a pediatrician. In the meantime, you can try giving your baby Simethicone drops to help with any gas or discomfort. Remember to always consult with your pediatrician before giving any medication to your baby.

Accepted Answer

Ballooning of the penis during urination in uncircumcised males is a common condition known as phimosis. It occurs when the foreskin balloons out due to a tight foreskin that does not retract properly. This condition is usually not harmful and may improve with time as the child grows. However, if it persists and causes discomfort, topical steroid creams such as Betamethasone can be applied to help reduce inflammation and allow the foreskin to retract more easily. Ballooning of the penis itself does not typically damage the kidneys. If you have concerns about your son's condition, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
