Question 1: My daughter will be one month old in two or three days. During this period of time, she will hiccup at the sight of cold air, two to three times a day. Just feed her some breast milk or some warm water and it will be fine. Is there something wrong with such repeated hiccups? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: It’s okay, it’s because the diaphragm is stimulated. Hiccups are a very common physiological development phenomenon in babies. This is because the child\’s diaphragm is relatively straight. When the stomach expands, it will stimulate the diaphragm, which may cause cramps and hiccups. However, hiccups in babies are mostly benign and self-limiting. They don’t feel as uncomfortable as adults. The hiccups will get better after a while. Parents can feed their babies oral milk or warm water, or use hot towels to apply to their stomachs for relief. Frequent hiccups will generally disappear after the baby is three months old. Question 2: Normally, my menstruation is accurate. Now I am trying to get pregnant and my baby’s period suddenly comes a week early. I have sex during the ovulation period. Is this normal? I read on the Internet that bleeding may occur when a fertilized egg implants. Is it possible that I am not menstruating? There is basically no leucorrhea for a few days after intercourse. In the past few days, there was no increase in leucorrhea like when I had my period. How can I distinguish menstruation? And implantation bleeding? Dr. Pan Guilan answered: There is a theory of ovulation, but there is no theory of implantation bleeding. The menstrual cycle is affected by various factors. It is normal to be one week early or one week late. It is easier to get pregnant during intercourse during ovulation, so there is no need to worry. Question 3: My baby is 13 months old. The old man said that children cannot eat apricots and plums, saying that it is not good to eat them. Is this true? Doctor Yang Yafeng answered: No, it’s okay to eat in moderation. Eating too much can easily lead to internal heat. The reason why the old man doesn\’t let him eat it may be because he is afraid that the baby will get angry.
