Question: A five-month-old baby cannot lift his head steadily and cannot turn over. Is this normal? I just discovered that I have valgus ribs a few days ago. The doctor said it was calcium deficiency. Is it related to this? Dr. Zhu Xiwei’s answer: As long as the head can be raised at 3 months and can be lifted stably at 4 months, some babies will turn over at 3 months, and later at 4 or 5 months. The baby is now 5 months old and cannot lift his head stably and cannot turn over abnormally. It is best to go to the pediatric health department of the hospital to evaluate various developmental conditions. Moreover, the baby should have its first physical examination when it is 42 days old, and then every three months. This has something to do with calcium deficiency, but it is not so serious under normal circumstances. Question 2: My baby is three and a half months old. He used to have normal bowel movements every day, but in the past two days, he suddenly stopped having bowel movements. What\’s going on? Dr. Zhang Yanmei’s answer: Belly retention may occur because the intestinal absorptive capacity of the baby becomes stronger as the baby grows, or it may be caused by heat in the body. First, massage the belly with the belly button as the center, for 15 minutes once, twice a day. , add 1/2 packet of Bifeikang each time, 2 times a day. The cooking time should not be too long, just once every 1 to 2 days is fine. If the time is too long, you can use kaiselu. Soak the cotton swab head with kaiselu, insert the cotton swab head into the anus, turn it around and pull it out. Question 3: The baby is breastfeeding and has a lot of small white pimples in his mouth recently. What is going on? Dr. Zhang Qiaoli’s answer: Parents should wipe it gently and see if it comes off. If it comes off, it may be caused by breast milk; if it doesn’t come off and the child cries and shows pain during the wiping process, go to the hospital for a checkup to rule out thrush.
