Can teething upset a baby's stomach?
Teething, because of gum discomfort may give infants and children irritability, restlessness and decrease appetite.
The good news is that these issues tend to resolve once teeth erupt and are short lived.
When in doubt call your Pediatrician to consult for the possibility of any other underlying illness.
Rsv
Signs of getting worse and seeking medical attention are fever that is lasting more than 2-3 days, chest retractions and or caving of the chest area while trying to breathe, unable to hold any oral fluids or not eating or drinking well, lethargy (your child is laying down without making much effort or movements). RSV bronchiolitis is usually self-limited and usually responds to the measures previously explained, but, it can become worse in a hurry. When in doubt seek medical attention or visit your local emergency room after hours.

Diabetes affecting my baby
My second child is 14 months old and hasn't taken her first steps. Is something wrong?
These problems are more common in second and third children, why? We tend to be more attentive to our first one, we have more time to spend with them and we are more attentive to help them along the way, we are also more anxious and worried with the first one. With the following children, we are more relaxed and less obsessed with them achieving certain milestones. This is probably within range, but make sure to address this issue with your pediatrician at her 15 months check-up that is coming.

Newborn constipation, what can I do?
Occasionally, your diet may be affecting her, so try to have a balanced diet, avoiding gassy foods and minimizing dairy products in your part. You should be drinking plenty of fluid and continue to take your prenatal vitamins. If she is fussy, it may be related with your diet. You seem to be using the right formula.
It is OK to use Mylicon drops (0.3 ml - 1/2 dropper) every 6 hours around the clock. Use them regularly to maximize effect. Mylicon shouldn't increase constipation. If your problem continues it would be advised to consult with your pediatrician.
Hope this answer helps you.
