My daughter's been coughing since October and at first, it was just like any normal cough. After three days of this, we took her to see her pediatrician who prescribed some meds and antibiotics. She's basically been on one medication or another since then. We've even seen a few doctors, like a general physician, another pediatrician, and a pulmonologist, but nothing's working. She coughs so much at night that sometimes she ends up vomiting. We're really worried and feel helpless about her health. She's on an inhaler and other meds for her cough and cold right now. Can someone offer any advice for us concerned parents?

I've got a little one who's just turned 2 months and 15 days old, and I've heard something about giving babies vitamin D. Is it really necessary for my baby? Also, if it's needed, what other meds should I consider? I had a C-section, and my baby arrived a bit early at 8 months and 15 days, so I want to make sure I'm doing everything right. Any advice on what might be good to take would be appreciated!

The ideal time for tongue tie surgery, or frenotomy, in babies is generally recommended within the first few months, often during the first month of life. While some healthcare providers may prefer a "wait-and-see" approach, especially if the tongue tie is mild, early intervention can be beneficial for some babies, particularly if they are experiencing breastfeeding difficulties
