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 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.

470885 tn?1326329037 First of all, I apologize if this seems like a silly question - my oldest son (now 4 years old) didn't have yogurt until he was well over a year old. I've been thinking about how to add variety (and extra good fats) to my younger son (8 months nearly 9 months old)'s diet due to the fact that he's a bit on the small side and slow to gain weight - but healthy - and I thought that maybe I could start giving him a bit of yogurt now and then.
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.

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 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 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 n tn As you explained his color is normal and my Pediatrician said as long as his color is normal there is nothing to worry about... I am not satisfied with that answer at all. This is not only terrifying its upsetting. Is there any luck out there? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/691448'>8 month old with strange breathing behavior during sleep</a>.
Avatar n tn Oh, and my son was never under weight or had a noticable issue that doctors really knew about at that time. After the fact, it was clear but at the time it was too vague. My son is now 8 and doing great.
Avatar n tn When this happens, the insulin acts as a growth factor. It causes these babies to be larger than normal. It also causes the heart muscle to become thicker. Sometimes the LVH can be so bad as to obstruct blood flow out of the heart; it doesn’t sound like this was the case with your son, though. After he was born, the elevated supply of sugar was stopped. His pancreas, with time, stopped putting out as much insulin.

Avatar n tn The author of this study concluded, “The daily exposure of infants to isoflavones in soy infant formulas is six- to elevenfold higher on a body-weight basis than the dose that has hormonal effects in adults consuming soy foods. Researchers have estimated that an infant exclusively fed soy formula received the estrogen equivalent of five birth-control pills per day. early development of puberty in young girls.

Avatar f tn My baby will be a month tomorrow. A lot of times when I lay her on her back she chokes. It's not after I feed her either. It's random and happens at least once a day. Is this normal or is this something I need to bring up to my pediatrician next week ?

How often should I check his temp to see if its going down or up?
Avatar f tn I noticed that my newborn son involuntary jerks his leg when I tap his back for burping. Is this normal? I know knee jerk or leg jerk will only happen when you tap certain area.
Avatar f tn My 6month old was prescribed .25mg of Prevacid because of GERD symptoms. The pharmacy wouldn't fill it until speaking with the doctor. I'm just wondering if anyone has an infant/child that was given the same thing? He's not losing weight but he has trouble sleeping at night and he spits up way too much and I've alread changed his formula 3 times. He sleeps better when propped up but putting the pillow under the mattress isnt enough.
