I'm really worried about my five-month-old son. He's been dealing with asthma since he was two months old, and our doctor has him on Budecort 100 inhaler and Salbair transhaler, two times a day. I'm concerned, thoughare these meds safe to use every single day? And how long are we supposed to keep this up?

My baby is 64 days old and sleeps through the night from 11 pm to 6 am without waking for feeds. His last feed is around 10:30 pm. During the day, he feeds on demand and stays active with good urine output, though he poops every alternate day. We're doing mixed feeding mostly pumped milk with formula only when needed. He had a lip and tongue tie release surgery 10 days ago and takes about 7-9 feeds per day. Should I wake him at night to feed or is it okay to let him sleep since he's gaining well and active during the day
let him sleep

My baby is 2 months old and he's not pooping regularly. Sometimes it's 4 to 5 days without any bowel movement. The doctor mentioned if it goes past 7 days, we should give him milk of magnesia. It seems like he only poops when we give him the milk of magnesia after about six days. Is it okay to rely on this medicine, or could there be something else going on? I'm getting worried. Any advice?
Its not uncommon for babies, especially breastfed infants, to go for a few days without having a bowel movement. The milk of magnesia your doctor prescribed can help temporarily, but its important not to rely on it for long-term use. Keep monitoring your babys comfort, hydration, and feeding, and follow up with your doctor if the problem persists or if your baby seems to be in discomfort.
