Ultrasound Scan at 13 Weeks of Pregnancy
If you are 13 weeks pregnant, then it's time that you have a little celebration as you are in the safe zone now. Every stage of pregnancy is important (and can be risky), but women have a sigh of relief once they pass the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, as the chances of miscarriage lower considerably once a pregnant woman reaches the 13th week of her pregnancy.
From this week onwards, your baby will grow rapidly and your doctor might suggest an ultrasound scan to check his progress. An ultrasound scan in the 13th week can tell you a lot about your baby's health and is important. So read on to know why you should have an ultrasound scan at 13 weeks and how it is performed.
Why Should You Have an Ultrasound at 13 Weeks?
Performing an ultrasound scan at 13 weeks of pregnancy can help your doctor understand how your baby is developing. By this time, your baby's kidney should function and he should have a urinary tract system. It means that your little should start peeing in the utero. His fingerprints will also take shape by this time. A scan performed in this week can help detect how he is progressing. It will also tell you how his other organs are coming along apart from his head.
How to Prepare for Your 13th Week Pregnancy Scan
This is one of the most significant ultrasounds performed during the pregnancy phase. And to prepare for your 13th-week ultrasound scan, you should drink lots of water before the scan, as it is essential to keep your bladder full during the ultrasound. This will help the technician get a clearer image of the foetus in your belly.
How Long Does It Take to Perform an Ultrasound Scan?
A 13-week scan can take around 15 to 30 minutes and can go up to 45 minutes if the baby is lying in an awkward position. But the duration of the scan will also depend on the technician who conducts it and on your baby’s position in your belly.
How Is an Ultrasound Scan Performed?
To perform an ultrasound scan at the 13th week of pregnancy, the sonographer will ask you to lie down on the examination table and expose your belly. The sonographer will then apply some gel on your belly and press a transducer on your belly. The purpose of applying the gel is to make sure that a good connection is established between the skin and the transducer device. The device will be adjusted based on the image of the baby that is seen on the screen. The sonographer may apply some pressure on your belly to get a clear view of the baby. But don’t worry, as you will not experience pain during this process.
What Will You See on the Scan at the Thirteenth Week of Your Pregnancy?
An ultrasound scan performed in the 13th week of your pregnancy will reveal a lot of minute details about your baby. You will be able to hear your baby's heartbeat and notice that some of his body parts have developed. In the earlier scans, you must have noticed that your baby's head was slightly more prominent and bigger as compared to the rest of the body, but now your baby's other parts of the body will develop fast and you will notice the size of the head becoming proportionate to the body. The scan will also indicate any abnormalities (if any) in the baby and other details of the development. During the 13th week ultrasound, Down's syndrome can also be detected by measuring the nuchal thickness.
What If Some Abnormalities Are Discovered in the Scan?
If any problem is detected during the ultrasound, your doctor will give you more clarity about the health of your baby and your situation. Sometimes doctors even suggest a few more scans and some specific tests to ascertain the full extent of the abnormalities before coming to any conclusion.
An ultrasound will help you connect with your little one in your belly. All this while you could feel the life inside of you, but now you will get to see your baby develop and come to life. These will be the significant moments of your pregnancy journey. If there are abnormalities that are detected, don’t let it dishearten you too much at this point, instead, talk to your doctor and see what can be done about it.

Summertime has set in, and your kids are running around rampant inside the house. If you're not sure what to do and if it's your first time dealing with kids, then here's a no-brainer- kids are pumping with energy and need something to do in their spare time.
Children love playing games, be it indoors or outdoors and if you can add some thrill and excitement into their life, you'll find them being productive and successful as adults later on in life. Games are a good way to develop a sense of empathy, emotional intelligence, intellectual and creative skills and builds upon existing hand-eye coordination and dexterity, all of which is needed in school and for future careers.
Group teamwork activities for kids teach them how to collaborate and work with peers, both of which are essential elements of success and leadership in life.
16 Indoor and Outdoor Group Games and Activities for Children
Your kids are at an age when growing and learning are synonymous in nature. Childhood is filled with youthfulness, and this is the best time to make memories, learn, have fun and enjoy. Here is a list of fun large group games for kids, both indoors and outdoors.
Indoor Group Games
Indoor group games are safe, awesome brain-teasers, and things one can spend hours playing and experimenting with. If it's a rainy day outside and you're out of ideas, here's our recommended list of fun group games for kids seeking indoor thrills.
1. Fruit Basket
A fruit basket is a fun game that involves using household items for a dose of indoor fun.
What You Will Need
Double-sided sticky tape, paper and pens
How to Play
Split up the kids into four groups and ask them to pick their favourite themes such as fruits, scientists, dinosaurs, etc. Allocate numbers to each group and hand all players a single sheet of paper. Mix up the groups in a way that forms a circle (with one of them being at the centre) and begin the game by calling out the name of the group from the centre of the circle. The kids basically stand on their sheets of papers like floor markers and the player at the centre tries to steal a spot in the circle as the player from the circle (who is called out) tries to move to a new place.
2. Stealing the Bacon
Don't worry. There's no bacon or stealing involved. Here's what you have to do.
What You Will Need
Household items such as toys, fruits, books, shoes, etc.
How to Play
Line up 10-20 kids into two groups by splitting them apart, facing each other off in a parallel line (standing face-to-face). Create a gap between their two lines and place a toy right there. Assign numbers to each member of the two groups in a sequence that corresponds their counterpart group member (that is, the number 1 player on A team is correlated to the number 1 player on the B team). Call out a random number and whichever member (with the assigned number) manages to grab the object the fastest, wins.
3. The Cold Wind Blows
A game that involves moving around chairs when conditions are met and trying to steal places while they are at it.
What You Need
10-15 kids, space, chairs
How to Play
Take the chairs and group them to form a circle. Leave out one chair from the total number of players and have everyone sit on them except one child who is designated as the centre. The centre child will say something along the lines of these statements while pointing out to one of the seated members-
"A cold wind blows for anyone who ate Pizza last night."
"A cold wind blows for anyone who plays cricket."
"A cold wind blows for anyone who went to bed after 9 pm."
The gist of the game is that whenever someone says "a cold wind blows for anyone who *inserts criteria/condition)" and points to a player, then the player who meets that condition will get up and move to another chair. Meanwhile, the child at the centre will try to steal the moving kid's spot as he gets up and thus, the game continues as the number of players whittles down to one at the end of it.
4. Bob, The Weasel
This game involves finding hidden objects and reading someone's body language. Improves focus and attention.
What You Will Need
A small object that's not too noticeable or easy to spot at first glance (something discreet will do)
How to Play
Seat the kids to form a circle on the floor and choose someone who gets to be 'Bob, the Weasel' at the centre. Place their hands behind their backs and ask them to pass the objects from one person to another without Bob noticing. If Bob is able to find out who has the object, then that person becomes 'Bob, The Weasel' and switches out with the child at the centre and continues to play in a similar fashion.
5. Filler Taboo
Kids sometimes use taboo or filler words such as 'ah,' 'um,' 'hmm,' and similar terms just like adults. This game will teach your kids to speak clearly and better articulate what they are trying to say.
What You Need
A bunch of subjects/topics for discussion and a timer
How To Play
Make a list of topics on a sheet of paper and gather up the kids to form a circle. Let each kid talk about a topic of their choice briefly or for a few minutes. Anyone who uses a single taboo/filler word gets eliminated from the upcoming rounds, and the person who stands at the last is the winner.
6. Up and Down
Up and down is a game where children look up and down for a specified period of time until pairs of two start to get eliminated. Of course, it isn’t as simple as all this and here are all the rules you need to know.
What You Need
Space, a number of kids
How to Play
Gather up the kids to form a large circle and start the timer. As soon as you yell 'Look Up!', everybody looks up. The catch is that the kids get to look at their partners/others while looking up sideways. If any of their eyes meet, they scream and leave the circle, thus getting eliminated from the next round. The game continues until nobody remains. It's fun, simple, and absolutely full of giggles!
7. The Five Minute Theatre
Playing theatre in a matter of five minutes spurs up latent creativity and encourages instant problem-solving on the spot. Here's how you play this game.
What You Need
Everyday objects, space and time
How to Play
Pick three kids to perform a skit and give them three to five minutes tops to do it on the fly. The others are free to hand them over props/objects for their skit performance onstage. Once the three to five minutes are up, the others get their turn in groups of three. This is also an awesome activity for kids' workshops and summer vacation times.
8. Awesome Architects
This game involves problem-solving skills and exercises a kid's intellectual and creative limits. It's perfect for kids who aspire to careers in STEM fields and for raising the scientific genius in your household.
What You Need
Glue, Paper, clips, sticky tape and basic arts/crafts material depending on the project of your choice.
How to Play
Divide the kids into groups of teams and assign each of them the same materials. Give them an option on projects to work on ranging from newspaper bridge building to egg supports and book holders/simple crafts projects. Decide a time limit and explain what they are allowed to and not allowed to do to complete the project. Whichever team completes the project first successfully wins.
9. Chess
Challenge your little one to a game of chess. If he/she is old enough to understand rules and loves facing tactical challenges, then this game is a no-brainer for sure.
What You Need
Two players, a chess board, and time
How to Play
Explain to your little one the rules of chess, the significance of the black and white coloured pieces in the game. Talk about how the rook moves, the role of the knight bishop, what's checkmate and a stalemate and the differences between the two. You can even make them play a simulated game on PC with the CPU and encouraging them to play one-on-one with you afterwards. Other board games that are equally brain-tickling are Ludo, Bagamon, Shogi, Sudoku and snake and ladders.
Outdoor Group Games
Sometimes little ones get bored too quickly by staying cooped indoors. If you want to some wackiness their life (or variety, if you'd prefer), then here are a couple of cool outdoor games worth trying out.
10. Tag, You're It!
Here's a fun classic every kid loves - "Tag, you're it!" We all have fond memories of this game and here's how you play if (especially if you're new to it by any chance)
What You Will Need
Outdoor space, time and a number of kids
How to Play
Gather a group of kids and decides who is the person who gets to be "it." Ask the one who is "it" to go near a tree or structure outside, cover his eyes and count to 20. While he's counting, ask everyone to hide somewhere far away or discretely and once he's done the counting, encourage him to go searching for the others. The game doesn't end once he spots someone. The person who is "it" has to run and catch someone in the group. The person who gets caught becomes the next "it", and in this way, it transforms into a never-ending loop of all-day fun.
11. Spell It Out
Spelling out words using body language, stretching and flexing is a great way to stay in shape plus exercise those mental muscles while they're at it. Here's how you practice spells it out, outdoor style.
What You Need
Teams of four, space, and time
How To Play
Take a paper and write down a list of four-letter words. Form kids into groups of four and ask each team to pose or spell out the words you say aloud using their fingers; body poses, movements and stretches. The team who is able to spell the most number of words correctly out of the rest using their bodies and movements wins.
12. Elves, Giants, and Wizards
A real-life twist to the classic rock, paper, scissors - if your kids love running and thinking when to act on the fly, then this is a game-changer.
What You Need
Teams of two, a large space/play area and time
How to Play
Mark out safe zones on the playing field and split the kids into groups of two.
Similar to rock, paper and scissors, the kid who creates-
a triangle with his hands on his head is the elf
the one who raises his arms is a giant
and, the one who holds his ears with the index finger extending out is the elf.
Now that we've got the basics down, if a giant faces a wizard, he is free to chase it. However, if the wizard enters the safe zone before the giant tags him, that doesn't count. Once tagged, the wizard join's the giant's team.
Giants beat wizards. Wizards beat elves. Elves beat giants.
The game is over once any team has the most number of players in it.
13. All Over
It's all or none in this game and here's how things swing.
What You Need
Footballs, tennis balls, basketballs, golf balls, etc.
How to Play
Split up the kids into two teams. Divide the play area into two territories, one belonging to each team. Start a countdown and let the balls get rolling!
The team which manages to push in the most number of balls into their enemy's territory within the designated time limit wins. Alternatively, if the team pushes all their balls into the enemy's playfield and shouts "All Over" also wins.
14. Grab the Dragon's Tail
If developing swiftness, hand-eye coordination and dexterity is your aim, then look no farther and introduce your child to the game of Grab The Dragon's Tail! Here's how you play it.
What You Need
A large space to play outdoors and 10-15 kids
How to Play
Gather the kids and ask them to join hands together in a line to form a dragon, side by side. The kid at the front is the dragon's head while the last one behind is the tail. The rule of the game is to get the head catch the tail while the body in between tries to stop the head from doing so while not breaking the chain. If the head catches the tail, then the tail becomes the head and vice versa. Strategy and swiftness are the milestones achieved by playing this game.
15. Kick the Can
If you're kid's bored playing "Tag, you're it!" then here's a little twist you can bring to it.
What You Need
A Metal Can, space, and 3 kids at the bare minimum
How to Play
The rules are almost the same as "Tag, you're it" except the only difference is that the player tries to capture other players while they're "it." When "it" tags someone, he doesn't switch himself out with the other player. Instead, the captured player is taken to a holding pen and stays there until the game is over.
A metallic can is kept at a designated area of the playground, and if an un-captured player manages to kick the can while the "it" player is searching for others, then the captured players in pen get released. Once all the players are captured and placed in the holding pen, the game is over.
16. Snake in the Gutter
A perfect game for primary and middle-school kids, this one encourages quick thinking and exercises natural reflexes.
What You Need
6-12 kids and a large space
How to Play
Have three to four kids line up in a linear way, side to side, by holding hands. Widen the gap between each child and make the gaps the gutter. The kids (holding hands) face the others in the opposite direction and become snakes. The others must try to pass through the gaps between the snakes (or through the gutters) and make it outside safely. Whoever gets caught by the snakes has to join them and widen their formation. The game ends once the final player manages to pass through them.
The trick to ensuring social, emotional and cognitive development in your kids is to make games fun and challenging. As long as they're having fun and learning at the same time, it becomes a win-win situation. Try out this list of ideas, and we're sure you'll have a happy summer!

Are Thongs a Health Risk?
Thongs are the sexiest variety of lingerie available. While your panty lines can benefit from a thong intervention, it could expose you to thong underwear problems. What's the reason, you ask? Well, for starters - most thongs aren't made from breathable materials, like cotton. Read on to learn more.
No matter how sexy a thong may look or how great it is at hiding those awful panty lines, the fact is, a thong does have its negatives. If you are a thong fan, are you taking measures to protect yourself from the various risks associated with it? We know that it’s really funny but now we have to worry about our underpants too!! Thongs can expose you to a number of health risks. There are some issues that you should take cognisance of.
The Itsy Bitsy Thong and The Big Problems it Can Cause
1. Not Protected Enough
If you have a bunch of fancy synthetic or nylon thongs, it's time you threw them away. Don't shudder yet! Synthetic thongs trap moisture, leading to the formation of bacteria and thereby increasing the chances of infection around the vaginal area. Even if you go for cotton thongs which are breathable and prevent the accumulation of moisture, avoid wearing them for a long time!
2. Irritable
Thongs can cause a lot of irritation to the clitoris if worn regularly. This happens when you wear thongs that are a bit too tight and uncomfortable. Other conditions that could result from your thongs grazing your privates every day are external haemorrhoids, and in some cases, lichen sclerosus. In simpler words, it can lead to vaginal infection and irritation. So, say bye to your nylon or silk thongs, as they are prone to trapping infection!
3. Wear Them Less Often
If you are prone to catching bacterial infections and other UTIs, it would be wise to give those thongs a rest. Let your privates breathe a little. Excessive use of thongs can irritate the nether region. The synthetic fabric of the thong could invite bacteria to camp in your vagina. Also, when you wear thongs throughout the day, it can transfer bacteria from the rectum to the vagina and urethra.
4. Grazing
Have you ever felt itchy down thereafter wearing a thong for an entire day? Well, chances are that the itchiness you feel could lead to an infection. Thongs can also graze and injure your private parts when worn often. This is especially true when the thong is made from substandard material or is stitched with cheap fabric. Take care of this, lest it escalates into a big problem.
5. The Thin Line
Most thongs are just thin strips of fabric, which are also snug. This tight fit grazes the perineum and puts pressure on it. This constant friction can lead to cuts in the perineum and infections in the vagina. To top it all, the air permeability of some fabrics used for making thongs is not good. This in turn causes skin allergies, vaginitis, and piles. So when you plan on wearing a thong the next time, just ensure that it isn't super tight.
6. Side Effects
Some rare side effects associated with wearing a thong includes cystitis and vaginal thrush. Thrush, a yeast, causes the area around the vagina to become inflamed, with white patches forming in some cases. While this problem is fairly easy to control, this thong underwear health risk should be addressed to swiftly.
The infections due to thongs made of non-cotton fabrics can cause a variety of uncomfortable problems for a woman. The only way to prevent these is by restricting the regularity with which you wear them. Also, once you get home, take them off and slip into something more comfortable. Also, try not to wear them while you sleep, no matter how tired you are. So remember to take some precautions, as prevention is better than cure!! Read more

How to Teach Your Child to be Grateful and Why It Is Important
Teaching your child to say 'thank you' could mark the beginning of a lifelong sense of gratitude. Research has shown that people who have gratitude increase their happiness levels by as much as twenty-five percent. However, teaching gratitude to children can be tricky. When they are under the age of 7, they have great difficulty in understanding others' emotion. Let's look at some ways of cultivating gratitude and appreciation in children.
Why is It Necessary to Teach Gratitude to Children?
By developing a sense of gratitude, children are opened up into the world of others. They discover that the world is more than just what they feel and they want, at a given time. Thankful children naturally become polite and kind towards others. By teaching children appreciation, they also learn to respect one another, share toys, and give out hugs!
Children who have gratitude have shown to become optimistic and less prone to depression when they enter adulthood. According to Mary Jane Ryan, author of 'Attitudes of Gratitude', no child is born grateful, but it is something that needs to be inculcated by the parent.
One of the key advantages of explaining gratitude to your child is that it gives him perspective. Once you can make your child aware of the benefits and privileges that he enjoys, which a large number of children in the world do not benefit from, it can make him appreciate his blessings more. Your child, if not reminded constantly, could get used to not caring about where his toys come from. Once he understands that the toy did not materialize out of thin air and that someone was responsible for creating it, this creates newfound respect within your child.
Gratitude also helps foster more genuine relationships. This is because of the perspective that it generates. Next time your child demands that he wants something immediately, remind him gently about what he already has, and to understand whether he really has the need for the new object he desires. Once he learns to acknowledge that, he would slowly start gaining the ability to reflect on his demand before verbalizing it as a command.
When Do Kids Start Learning the Meaning of Appreciation?
Children and toddlers are, by nature, self-centred. This is more of a biological necessity for sustenance, but feelings of gratitude can be instilled in children at a very young age. Around the age of 1 to 2 years, they come to realize that they are separate human beings from their parents, and that mummy and daddy do things to make them happy. Your child might not be able to articulate gratitude, but he can certainly begin to comprehend it.
By the age of 2 to 3 years, they can begin talking about things that they are thankful for or at least express it using actions. By the age of four, most children develop the ability to be grateful for not just material objects, but also for acts and gestures of kindness, love and affection.
Ways to Teach Gratitude to Children
Below are twelve ways to teach children to be thankful and count their blessings.
1. Role Model
The best way to teach a philosophy of life, such as gratitude, is by example and not by lecture. Children learn best by emulating their parents, and what better way could there be than to lead by example! A simple way to start would be to say "thank you" and "please" to your spouse and child, as often as possible. Bring in the topic of gratitude as often as possible. While going out for a walk on a clear day, you could say "how lucky we are to be strolling out on such a bright and sunny day!" This also teaches to be grateful for the simplest and most mundane of things, which often tend to be ignored.
2. Encourage Children to Help Out
By encouraging your child to help out with household chores, such as washing the dishes or watering the plants, you generate an environment for them to learn gratitude. By physically doing things, your child realizes that it takes effort and that he should not take things for granted. On the other hand, the more you do for your child without verbalizing the effort it takes, the more chances for your child to take it for granted.
3. Interact with Your Kids
Asking your child to name a thing to be grateful for (a new thing a day) is a good way on how to make your child feel grateful. Be sure to set time aside for face-to-face interaction with your child. Many families find dinner time quite suitable for this.
4. Encourage Donating to the Needy
Taking stock of unused items such as books, toys and clothes and donating to those in need is a great example of promoting generosity in children. Taking your child to visit those in less privileged conditions gives them a real-life need to become gracious.
5. Give Concrete Examples
Giving actual examples of incidences that promote generosity must be done so that children get to learn from those real-life instances. One example of how to teach kids appreciation could be sharing good news, such as - "We got new computers at our workplace today! How lucky we were to get our old ones replaced!".
6. Encourage Reading Books That Promote Gratitude
Books such as 'The Giving Tree' and 'Have You Filled a Bucket Today?' have strong moral foundations and provide excellent reading material.
7. Insist on 'Thank You' Notes
Thank you notes could even mean a little piece of paper with a flower on it. Children love to express emotion in the form of little letters and drawings. Encourage your child to make a 'thank you' note whenever there is an instance that needs to be thanked for. For example, he could write to someone who gifted him a lovely toy on his birthday.
8. Be Assertive
Most children keep track of the latest things in the market and keep pestering their parents for the same. They may ask for toys, video games or chocolates. Being a parent, you tend to fulfil all the desires of your child. Some of us may buy whatever they wish to put an end to their tantrums. This attitude will sabotage the growth of thankfulness in your child. Parents must realise that saying 'no' too many times will make saying 'yes' sound much sweeter. This policy will help you to raise children with an attitude of gratitude.
9. Be Patient
You must understand that your child will not imbibe this habit all of a sudden. It may take him days, weeks, months or years - and hearing a 'no' while asking for he wants is sure to induce tears! Parents should stay calm and help the children to cultivate the habit of appreciation and gratitude.
10. Thank Those Who Serve You
Children need to say thank you to those who serve them. For instance, most of us tend to take the work performed by our domestic help for granted. Our children also follow in our footsteps. As a parent, we must instil good values in our children. A bus conductor, sweeper in the school, driver or a domestic help at home must be thanked for the services rendered by them. Children must be trained to give due respect to such people.
11. Maintain a Journal
Ask your child to keep a note of the things he is grateful for on a daily basis. At the end of the week, you can make him read out loud the same. This will encourage him to think about each and every aspect of his life and count his blessings.
12. Birthdays - Celebrate Responsibly!
Usually, birthdays are seen as a day in which the child tends to go for an all-out, I-need-everything mode. While celebrating his birthday would be a joyful thing to do, make him also understand how lucky he is to have people who love him and celebrate him, and shower their blessings upon him. Teach him to send thank you notes to the guests who came to his birthday party and presented him with gifts too.
13. Expose Kids to the Consequences of Their Action
Exposing children to the consequences of their action is a simple but powerful way of helping the children learn about gratitude. Care should be taken to not bail them out or bribe them out of any situation.
As it has been proven that raising children with an attitude of gratitude can create lifelong happiness for your children, it is important to begin these practices right from an early age.

Tips For a Healthy Pregnancy
"Positive vibes only." This is the first thing everyone says once you are pregnant. Good thoughts give good vibes to the baby's development. But it's just not her inner thoughts, it's the environment as well.
Pregnancy is the most crucial period in a woman's life. Once a woman is pregnant, she gets to fly in her imagination— countless dreams, not just about her unborn child, but also about her nine months journey. We as women want to keep each moment memorable, especially when we are about to welcome a newborn. But is it possible in every house? Definitely not! It is really sad that sometimes our own family members don't care about special moments. Talking to the pregnant woman, caring for her, giving her healthy food is important during these nine months.
It is said that the baby can listen and understand her mother's feelings inside the womb. But during pregnancy, if the spouse is rude, and harasses the mother physically or mentally, these things can affect that unborn baby’s mental and physical development. It doesn't end there; once the baby is born, she may have a depressed state of mind till the end of her life.
Women also suffer from depression, during pregnancy and post-pregnancy, which can affect her long term. The depression can make her feel lonely and suicidal even after the baby is born. Hence its really important to take care of the mother during the nine months of pregnancy. It is important for the mother to be physically and mentally healthy as her well being has a direct impact on the unborn baby's health.
Here are some tips to have a healthy and peaceful pregnancy.
A healthy routine for sleeping and eating is very important during pregnancy.
Working out during your pregnancy can be really helpful, but make sure you get advice from your gynecologist about exercise.
The more you eat right and remain fit, you can avoid mood swings and crankiness.
Take supplements and vitamins that are recommended by your doctor.
Avoid caffeine, alcohol. Eat fresh fruits and vegetables. Consume more milk, stay hydrated with fresh liquids.
Stay away from thoughts, people, and environments that are negative.
Practice yoga and meditation if your doctor recommends it.
I hope these tips are helpful and I hope you have a healthy pregnancy.

A. Some women may have vomiting throughout their pregnancy. The most common reason for vomiting during the third trimester may be gastritis. Make sure you eat small frequent meals, preferably every 2 hours. If your baby's weight during checkups are adequate..u needn't worry much about this. You can also consult your doctor and take anti emetics and PPIs if the vomiting is bothering you or interfering with your daily activities.

A. no need to worry about the frequency and colour of the stool if the consistency of the stool is semi solid to solid.
also there is no need to worry about the smell of the stool if the consistency is normal.
you have to meet the doctor if it is watery inconsistency or hard consistency otherwise semi solid to solid stool is normal.
also passing stool after taking food is normal. r
