Why is your child always bloated, constipated, and tired? The answer might be "Gluten Allergy." Persistent symptoms like tummy pain, irregular stools, or unexplained anemia could be red flags. Poor growth or constant fatigue should also prompt investigation. If you recognize these signs in your child, it's crucial to consult a pediatrician for proper diagnosis and guidance. Don't ignore these persistent issues! 🩺

Comment "TIE". Your child might be suffering from a missed tongue tie.

Watch out for signs like food lingering in cheeks for hours, difficulty pronouncing certain letters, or frequent migraines and jaw tension. As a baby, they might have struggled with feeding, latching, or gotten tired while nursing. If you notice any of these, consult a pediatrician experienced in tongue tie. Fixing a missed tongue tie can significantly improve feeding, speech, and overall quality of life. Don't miss these critical signs! 👀

Comment "REFLUX "👇. Your baby's distress after feeding could be Acid Reflux. Acid reflux occurs when stomach contents return to the esophagus, which is more than just a typical spit-up. This condition can lead to painful feeding experiences for your baby. It also has the potential to negatively impact their sleep and overall growth. If you are noticing these signs frequently, it is important to consult with your pediatrician. We’ll send you some steps you can take at home in the meantime.

A swallowed toy will usually pass through a child's system naturally. Most small toys travel down the esophagus and into the stomach where powerful acids begin processing any organic material. The toy then moves into the small intestine, pushed forward by wave-like contractions. In most cases, it will exit naturally within 24 to 48 hours. However, if your child shows signs like vomiting or abdominal pain, seek medical help immediately. ⚠️👨‍⚕️

Comment below “POTS” if your teenager has these symptoms.
Many teenagers suffering from fainting, dizzy spells, and exhaustion are being misdiagnosed with anxiety. Learn the red flags that suggest it might actually be POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome). Does your teen get dizzy when they stand up? Does their heart rate jump 30 to 40 beats in seconds? Exhaustion after a simple shower or short walk is another major sign. Stop labeling it as just anxiety or panic attacks; understanding these symptoms could lead to the correct diagnosis. 🤯 Get informed and help your teen get the right support.

Snoring in children is never normal and is a sign of mouth breathing. Children may be suffering from a lack of oxygen at night without you knowing it. This can lead to them being tired all the time, sleeping at school, or having difficulty focusing. Many children are misdiagnosed with ADHD when the underlying issue is actually sleep apnea. If your child snores, mouth-breathes, or wakes up tired, get them checked. Share this information with a parent and you might change a child's life! 😴💡

Does your child love chewing on ice? It might be a sign their body is asking for help. Chewing on ice, known as pagophagia, can be a symptom of underlying deficiencies. Common causes include low levels of Iron (anemia), Vitamin B12, Folate, or Zinc. It can also be related to stress and anxiety. If your child has this habit, it's worth speaking with a healthcare professional to rule out any potential issues. Share this with a parent who needs to see this! 🧊🤔

Comment “SPF” to receive the ingredients to avoid list

It's not just the creams, hidden triggers are often why baby eczema returns.
Switch to fragrance-free everything for laundry, as babies are constantly touching clothes with detergent and softeners. Another soothing hack is chamomile tea: brew it, refrigerate it, and apply it with a cloth to relieve itching. Also, pay close attention to your baby's diet and gut health. For some patients, switching from cow's milk to goat's milk has been helpful.
Don't overlook these simple changes! 💡🧴
