Avatar f tn Liam will be one month on July 2nd in just curious how much ounces of formula are infants supposed to drink? He drinks 4 to 6 ounces every like 2 hours or 1 hour. But when he's sleeping of course it's like after his like four hour nap. I'm just curious does he eat too much or that's normal?
Avatar m tn When my 1 month old went in for his 2 week check up the doctor told me that quivering is completely normal. She didn't say why exactly though. Just a call to the pedi and I'm sure they'll explain. This should help also: http://www.parksidepediatrics.com/eResources/Newborn/AppearanceandBehavior/tabid/123/Default.
Avatar f tn From what I found there are different norms for adults, children and infants. The adult normal for Adults is 15-45 micrograms per deciliter (mcg/dL) or 11-32 micromoles per liter (mcmol/L). I hope this helps.
377493 tn?1356502149 s appointment Tuesday morning, but am wondering if anyone else has experienced weight loss during extreme heat. Is it normal for very active toddlers to have weight flucuation, or is it more like infants where they gain steadily, just at a slower pace? Thanks so much.

Avatar f tn It is well known that vitamin B12 deficiency causes developmental delay and brain atrophy in infants and children. This has been reported in medical journals and texts since the 1960’s. The medical community (pediatricians, neurologists) is not routinely checking children who present with the first concern of developmental delay for B12 deficiency which is problematic and a clinical error.
470885 tn?1326329037 Sorry, just wanted to mention this...you are Canadian right? I am not certain where you are, but check into the clinics and programs at your local Public Health Clinic. Ours here has several on feeding and nutrition, and I find them excellent! Especially for our smaller guys...Good luck!!
338963 tn?1253660822 I also did some reading and it said that breastfed infants tend to grow faster than formula fed infants in the first couple of months, but then slower than formula fed infants after that, but that this is normal. Make sure you are having a healthy diet, particularly if you are breastfeeding. They say babies should not be introduced to food / solids until about 6 months. Aiden still has a long way to go til then. Be guided by your pediatrician for when to introduce foods to him.
1361044 tn?1277598308 Honestly, in my opinion, babies are so wrapped up in this new world, all the new things going in for them, that a little cold (virus) hardly slows them down. it could be your baby is behind because she doesn't feel well all the time, and THAT is holding her back. Maybe not, but in either case I would push for them to figure it out. Chalking it all down to a virus is a lazy, sorry excuse. My point is, YOU DO know your child more than anyone.
Avatar f tn I feel Gerd and milk allergy are grossly overdiagnosed in infants. Lactose overload has been diagnosed in breast-fed infants now - and I believe it is also found in babies.
Avatar n tn Should I be worried at all that giving him corn syrup may cause weight gain or a metabolic problem? I hear so much about corn syrup in foods possibly being linked to metabolic syndrome.
Avatar f tn Elderly persons, on the other hand, may have less creatinine in their blood than the norm. Infants have normal levels of about 0.2 or more, depending on their muscle development. In people with malnutrition, severe weight loss, and long standing illnesses the muscle mass tends to diminish over time and, therefore, their creatinine level may be lower than expected for their age" An abnormally high value can idicate a kidney disorder.
544684 tn?1240118000 Was she born premature or the females in the family petite? She is under the normal weight for her age, however, if she has been gaining weight at a steady rate (even if it has been slow) she maybe just small in stature. If not, then she would be underweight. Soy base formula is given to infants so she can have soy milk, soy yogurt, soy ice cream.
Avatar f tn t take Eglonyl or Zoloft is because it is most likely to cause weight gain and I am already overweight and unhappy about it.
