How can we tell if my baby, who is 13 months old, is teething or having sore throat when she refuses to eat solids?
my son is a preschooler. He is always sick with cough and cold.. Please tell me what can I do to keep him healthy.
Dear Anne, thank you for sharing your concerns. The immune system in children takes time to develop, ideally, they should be as healthy as adults once they reach 2 years old. Until then, prevention helps; encourage hand hygiene as part of play, this way it does not take away your baby’s joy of childhood. I would strongly recommend completing their vaccinations. Having a well balanced diet makes a difference for the little ones too. Vitamin C and sunshine, which is a natural source of Vitamin D, both helps to boost the immune system too. I hope this helps address your concerns.

My 6-month-old vomits quite often, about a few times per week. Should I be worried or is it common?
Thank you for your question. It sounds like your child’s condition has caused you inevitable worry. It could be a spill, after full milk feed or soon after feeding, which is common. However, to better understand your child’s condition, I would recommend a clinic visit with your family doctor to assess and advise if there are any concerns. I hope this helps address your concerns.
