I carried my younger son when he was 2 month old. The babies are more prone to catch infection from others esp the flight being an enclosed area! But it's safe. Ask your friend to carry required formula - in case she is unable to feed the baby while travelling. Ask for the basinet seat so that she can put the baby in the basinet when its sleeping instead of keeping in the hand all the time. Tthere is a restriction on the amount of liquid (formula, water etc) she can carry in her hand luggage. They will not allow any liquids more than some ml... Please ask her to check it with her flight. The air hostess will be very friendly so they could help her in washing, sterlizing the bottles etc. Carry minimal luggage in hand if she is going alone as she has to handle both the luggage and baby!

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

natalia

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!
