Question 1

I'm in a bit of a pickleI need to take a break from work for about three weeks next month. The issue is, it's for exam prep, but I can't really tell my boss that. I'm kind of stuck because I need a medical certificate for this leave. Is there a legit way to get a medical certificate for this kind of situation? I'm feeling pretty stressed about it. Would love some advice!

Accepted Answer

Greenish stools can be normal in breastfed babies, but in formula-fed babies, it might indicate a change in gut bacteria or a reaction to the formula. Possible reasons for greenish stools include:

1. *Introduction of a new food or formula*: This can alter the gut microbiome, leading to changes in stool color.
2. *Foremilk-hindmilk imbalance*: If the baby is not getting enough hindmilk (rich in fat), it can cause greenish stools.
3. *Gastrointestinal infection*: Although less common, a viral or bacterial infection can cause changes in stool color.

*Changing Formula*

Before switching formulas, consider consulting your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues. They can help determine if a formula change is necessary.

If you do switch to Nan Pro, monitor your baby's stool color, consistency, and overall health. Some babies may take time to adjust to a new formula.

Congratulations on your twin babies!

Both Nan Pro and Nan Excella Pro are good options.

Nan Pro is a standard infant formula, suitable for most babies.

Nan Excella Pro has additional benefits like DHA, Choline, and Iron, supporting brain and eye development.

If your doctor recommends one over the other, follow their advice.

If not, Nan Excella Pro might be a better choice due to its extra nutritional benefits.

I'm noticing something red inside my belly button, and sometimes there's blood and a liquid coming out. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it normal? What could be causing it?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you might have an infection or a condition like an umbilical granuloma or abscess. Clean the area gently with an antiseptic, keep it dry, and avoid poking it. Consult a doctor soon to rule out any deeper issue and get appropriate treatment.
