My daughter wants her to be carried all the time - either its me or my maid. Dhe is 6 months and she turns to her tummy. Haven't started to move or sit yet. I am worried that if we carry her too much, she wdnt try to move/crawl.

I think it's ok. Try to play with her by sitting on floor. Try to distract her with toys, sounds when she is crying for you to lift her. With maids, it's difficult as they want to carry the baby so that they need not do other work!

There is no harm carrying the baby. She is too young and she yearns for attention and your warmth. As children grow up they will change accordingly.

is it really true, that there is no harm in carrying baby always. I have 1 month old kid. He always wants to be carried. I am really worried how I will manage afterwards.

I have seen other 1 month old kids, who will stay quite when left in bed after feeding. but mine is not keeping quite.

Answers from Natural childbirth and lactation consultant,Pediatrician- Dr.Shacchee Khare Baweja

My son of age 5 's urine is always surrounded by ants. Is he diabetic? Bcoz my father and grandparents are diabetic. I'm not. Please help me.

If your son is otherwise fine, Urine surrounded by ants is no indication that someone is diabetic , this is quite a common feature, but because diabetes runs in families so whenever you visit your paediatrician next do discuss your family history with him so that he/she can keep a watch.

Greetings Doctor,

Trust this finds u in best of health.

I am a mother of 2 kids. daughter age 6 and son 22 months. my concern is my son. its been a couple of months now, he blabbers alot. there are a few words i can understand but most of the time he blabbers or talks baby talk to himself or to us. he can say mamma, dadda, come, more (if he wants more to eat) numnum for food, the word no, his sister's name very recently. he loves to sing rhymes. but he cant prenounce the words perfectly but say he is 4 out of 10. the melody is perfect. it was all very adorable but sometimes its very worrying to hear him blabber. i wonder if it is normal. i am quite anxious to know cause i did not experience this with my daughter. infact she started talking really well by this time. please advise. Thanks for reading.

Best regards

Hi Natalia,

No 2 kids are same so u cannot compare him with your daughter, From what you have written, doesn’t looks like there is a problem, some kids start speaking late, so if his understanding of things and hearing is all right,don’t worry, just continue talking to him, reading to him and otherwise stimulating him and just relax and enjoy your babies!
