Growth Spurts in Infants
After having followed a pattern for sleeping and feeding your baby for a few weeks, you may notice that there is a sudden change in your baby’s feeding requirements. Your baby may want to feed more often and sleep for longer periods of time. This may quite obviously alter your regular patterns, but there is nothing to worry about. Your baby’s requirements are seeing a sudden shift because he’s going through a growth spurt.
Video: Growth Spurts in Babies - Signs & Tips to Deal with It
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSis2wYRYck
What Is a Growth Spurt in a Baby?
Your baby will grow about three times his size at birth by the time it’s his first birthday. This usually does not happen gradually, but rather, at specific intervals, almost over a couple of days. This duration when the baby is going through rapid growth is called a growth spurt. Babies tend to go through rapid growth during these growth spurts and can grow at a rate of about one centimetre per day.
When Do Infants Have Growth Spurts?
A newborn's growth spurts happen in the first year, starting around about the 2nd week and subsequently during the 3rd, 6th and 9th weeks. These are followed by growth spurts at three, six, and nine months of age. However, it is not necessary that all babies follow this pattern, especially in the case of premature babies who may be developing differently than their peers anyway.
How Long Do Growth Spurts Last?
Each growth spurt in a baby lasts only for a few days. When they are younger, the growth spurt can last for a day. As they grow older, they may last a little longer - for several days, and sometimes up to a week as well.
What Happens During Growth Spurts?
During a growth spurt, your baby’s weight, height, and circumference of his head increases. It is possible that your baby outgrows his clothes almost overnight. Your baby may also be irritable and fussy during this period.
Is There a Difference Between Growth Spurts and Feeding Spurts?
Although both growth spurts and feeding spurts can make your baby demand more food, they are not necessarily the same. A feeding spurt is when your baby is hungrier than usual, and it does not constitute rapid growth within a few days.
Signs of Growth Spurts in Infants
Your baby may show the following signs if he is going through a growth spurt.
1. Increase in Appetite
Immediately before and after the growth spurt, your baby may seem more hungry than usual. For a breastfed baby, growth spurts can mean longer breastfeeding sessions and shorter intervals between feeds each day. A formula-fed baby may seem hungry even after a feeding session. Ensure that you satiate your baby’s hunger with frequent or long feeding sessions during this time as his growing body will demand more food.
2. Change in Sleep Patterns
During a growth spurt, your child will be sleeping more than usual or have a different sleeping pattern. This is mostly because a good duration of sleep is necessary to facilitate growth. While your baby is sleeping, the brain signals the pituitary gland to produce HGH or the Human Growth Hormone, which is responsible for growth in infants and children.
Studies show that a baby may sleep up to four and a half hours more than usual. However, some babies also seem to sleep less or take shorter naps. They may also be waking up more often at night.
3. Behavioural Changes
Certain changes in your baby’s behaviour, like irritability or neediness, may also be noticed during a growth spurt. He may want to be held all the time or may seem unsettled and cry quite often.
Although it has not been found out why these changes take place, most experts have suggested that it may be because of all the energy that your baby needs to put into feeding and to grow, which may make him tired and may be overwhelming for his little self to bear.
It is also believed that your baby may see a developmental leap, which means that he may learn a new skill like crawling, rolling over or smiling during this period. This may happen during a growth spurt or can come about at any other time as well.
Tips to Deal with Infant Growth Spurts
If your baby is going through a growth spurt, it can be exhausting for you as well, especially if you are breastfeeding your baby. Hence, it may be useful to keep a few tips in mind during this phase.
Drink plenty of water. Your baby’s breast milk needs might be draining your body of fluids! To keep your baby well-fed, you need to be well-hydrated too.
Your breasts produce milk based on a demand and supply equation.
If your baby is breastfeeding more, you will be producing more milk.
So, it may be wise not to supplement your baby’s breast milk with formula,to ensure a continued supply of milk.
Your baby will want to feed very often and stay close to you all the time. At this point, you can consider using a sling to carry your baby around.
Your body will take a day or two to match up to your baby’s feeding needs.
In case you don’t produce enough milk for over a week, then it is wise to consult a doctor, as it may be due to low milk supply.
Eat and drink at regular intervals and if possible, get help for chores around the house. Your body may get exhausted due to a frequent feeding pattern.
Your baby’s behaviour and changes in feeding and sleeping patterns can confuse you, and it’s also easy to mistake these signs for a growth spurt, while they may be actually indicating something else. Changes in a baby’s routine or environment, teething, and minor illnesses can also contribute to a sudden change in your baby’s behaviour or regular patterns. If you see that your baby is extremely irritated, restless, and seems to go on this way for a while, it’s best that you consult a doctor to rule out any problems.
How to Tell if Your Baby’s Growth Is on Track
You may want to get your hands on a baby growth chart that shows the ideal measurements for a baby at different weeks or months. The chart indicates measurements of the length, weight and head circumference of your baby at different times during the growth.
Growth spurts can be overwhelming for mothers, but with the right care and support, you will be able to sail through this too. Also, growth spurts last for only a few days, so you will be able to go back to your regular schedule soon enough.

Amoxicillin Dosage for Children
Amoxicillin is a narrow spectrum Penicillin-based antibiotic that is usually prescribed to treat bacterial infections. Certified by the world health organisation (WHO) as a very safe drug for children, it is usually prescribed for respiratory infections like whooping cough, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, and throat and middle ear infections. Some skin infections and urinary tract infections (UTIs) are also treated with this antibiotic, based on the culture results.
What Is Amoxicillin?
Amoxicillin is derived from Penicillin, the oldest known antibiotic. It is a better version of its predecessor, the Penicillin, in its ability to tackle a much larger variety of bacterial strains and in its improved ability to get absorbed into the bloodstream. Sold under different brand names, this generic drug called amoxicillin is widely used to treat both gram negative and gram positive bacterial infections occurring in the ear, throat, and upper respiratory system.
Amoxicillin, in combination with potassium clavulanate, is a widely used combination that has enhanced absorption characteristics. The clavulanate additive prevents the formation of the bacterial cell wall, thereby broadening the spectrum of bacteria that can be countered with amoxicillin.
When Do Doctors Prescribe Amoxicillin For Your Kid?
Amoxicillin is an anti-bacterial drug that is used to treat specific strains of bacteria. Contrary to the popular belief among people, this drug does not work against viral infections like flu and the common cold, simply because of its targeted mechanism of action against the bacterial cell wall. Some common infections of the ear, nose and throat (ENT) system are effectively treated with amoxicillin. Here is a list of conditions for which doctors usually prescribe amoxicillin for children.
Acute otitis media, a common type of middle ear infection in children
Respiratory infections like sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia
A whooping cough
Throat infections like 'strep throat' caused by the streptococcal strain of bacteria
Tonsilitis
Some skin infections
Urinary tract infections
Many mothers tend to self-medicate kids with amoxicillin when the child suffers from these conditions recurrently. It is a very risky and unhealthy practice to administer antibiotics without consulting the doctor, as the dosage and combination may be specific to specific cases. This not only leads to improper treatment but also paves the way the for development of amoxicillin-resistant bacterial strains in the body.
How To Use Amoxicillin?
The generic antibacterial drug called amoxicillin is available under different brand names in the market. It is also available in combination with some chemicals for enhanced action. The child starts getting better usually within two to three days of drug intake. The drug comes in different forms of consumption.
Oral suspension: The oral suspension is particularly suitable for children. The antibiotic comes as a powder that can be reconstituted in water or milk. It is usually flavoured to enhance the colour and taste. The cleanliness of the diluting ingredients is essential. Usually, a dosing syringe or a measuring cup is used for accurate dilutions.
Paediatric Drops: Paediatric drops are readymade diluted syrups of the desired concentration. It is usually used for small children, where the dosage is very less, and the drug is administered as drops. It comes in a bubble gum flavour.
Capsules: Capsules of amoxicillin are also available with varying doses. It is given for slightly grownup children. It is usually taken with water, milk or juice.
Regular Tablets: Amoxicillin is also sold as oral tablets that come with immediate release (IR) and extended release (ER). The immediate release tablets come as generic drugs only. The immediate release and the extended-release tablets differ in their respective rate of drug absorption, and the doctor prescribes the preferred version depending upon the patient's condition.
Extended-release Tablets: These tablets are believed to be more effective as they have sustained and elevated doses over long periods.
Chewable Tablets: Mildly flavoured chewable tablets are available in the market making it easier for children to consume this drug.
The amoxicillin drug in any of the above forms has to be stored in a cool and dry place away from direct sun and out of reach of children.
Drugs To Avoid Using With Amoxicillin
The treating doctor must be informed about the other drugs that the child is taking. There are many drugs with which amoxicillin has unwanted and adverse reactions, by way of increased or decreased efficacy of the other drug. The ability of the body to collectively excrete the drugs also matters in deciding treatment options. Some of the drugs that should be avoided are:
Other anti-bacterial medicines like macrolides, chloramphenicol, tetracycline and sulphonamides
Probenecid
Allopurinols
Warfarin
Methotrexate, widely used to treat cancer
Live cholera vaccine
Venlafaxine
Some children may be taking vitamin supplements or herbal medications for other conditions. Mentioning these drugs to the doctor can be very helpful in avoiding any unwanted reactions, as there is known evidence of an interaction of amoxicillin with vitamins and herbs.
It is also critical to communicate to the doctor about any known history of allergy to amoxicillin or penicillin, before starting the treatment. If the child is suffering from any kidney disease, asthma or hay fever, the doctor has to be informed about it as well, as it will be very critical in deciding the course of treatment.
Amoxicillin Dosage for Kids According to Weight / Age
The dosage of amoxicillin for kids is very different from that of the adults. Typically, the dosage is determined considering parameters like the age of the child, his or her weight, and the degree and nature of the infection. The table below gives a general guideline for determining the dosages.
Infection
Age / Weight

A fair idea about the permissible dosage is essential in avoiding any overdose conditions. The numbers mentioned above are a general guide to the drug concentrations. The dosage prescribed by the doctor to the specific cases has to be followed diligently.
What If You Miss a Dose?
If a dose of amoxicillin is missed, it can be given immediately, provided there is a considerable gap before the next dose. If the time is up for the next dose, then there is no requirement to give a double dosage.
What If Your Child Vomits?
Vomiting is a common side effect of amoxicillin in children. Since the gut microflora is altered by the intake of this drug, it can cause vomiting. Make sure that the kid is taking enough fluids and electrolytes. Usually, consuming food along with the medication helps to control vomiting. Probiotics also help restore the good bacteria in the stomach.
What If You Give an Overdose?
An overdose of the antibiotic may cause intense side effects in children. Depending upon the magnitude of overdose, children experience severe rashes, kidney damage, nausea, and less urination along with many other symptoms. In such cases, immediate medical treatment is mandatory.
How To Treat Overdose?
There is no particular antidote for an amoxicillin overdose in children. To remove the excess amoxicillin from the body, multiple doses of activated charcoal are used. Activated charcoal immediately interrupts the circulation of the antibiotic. Sometimes, doctors wash the stomach to flush out the medicine. Treatment is also given to correct the symptoms arising out of the overdose. Haemodialysis is done for severe cases.
Side Effects of Amoxicillin in Kids
The dosage and frequency of administration vary depending on the severity of the infection and the age of the child. It is advisable to strictly stick to the dosage prescribed by the doctor and finish the full course to avoid development of an antibiotic-resistant strain of the bacteria. Although considered a very safe drug, amoxicillin may cause some mild side effects in children.
Stomach discomfort with nausea and mild to severe diarrhoea: This common side effect occurs as a result of changes in the gut flora caused by the antibiotic. If the diarrhoea results in considerable loss of body fluids, it is advisable to consult a medical practitioner immediately.
Patches around the mouth, throat and vagina (for girls)
Sudden swelling of the throat and tongue coupled with difficulty in breathing: This is categorised as 'anaphylaxis' or a severe allergic reaction and requires immediate medical attention
Hives or itchy red patches on the skin
Loss of appetite
Tiredness or weakness after taking a dosage of the drug
General fatigue
Heavy periods in girls
Paleness of the skin
Taste aversion
Unusual bleeding
Burning sensation while urinating
Usually, the side effects subside in a day or two as the child's body gets acclimatised to the drug, but it is better to keep the doctor informed about any new allergic reaction.
Safety Measures While Taking Amoxicillin
While administering amoxicillin, it is better to consult the doctor and get an opinion on the other allowed medications. Vomiting and diarrhoea are common side effects of antibiotic intake. Do not give medication to stop watery stools without consultation with the doctor.
Also, when a child is treated with amoxicillin, the urine sugar levels may show some false positives. In such cases, other methods of measuring the sugar levels can be adopted.
Important Things To Remember About Taking Antibiotics
Some very important things to follow while taking antibiotics are:
Strictly follow the dosage and timelines prescribed by the doctor. Increasing or decreasing the dosage can delay the recovery process.
Complete the course of antibiotic given for an infection. If the medication is stopped in between, it leads to the development of resistant strains of bacteria.
Watch out for any adverse reactions or side effects, especially in children.
Avoid any allergic food substances and medicines that have a proven interference with the antibiotic.
Amoxicillin is a safe and effective treatment option for children suffering from various bacterial infections. If your doctor prescribes this drug, keep the above pointers in mind to ensure your child’s quick recovery.

5 Gifts Moms wouldn't like to Receive on Mother's Day
Mother's day is an occasion to thank your mother for all the love and care she showers upon you. You might have a lot of ideas when it comes to choosing a gift for this special day. However, you must check out our list of not-so-good Mother's Day gifts before you get one for her.
Your mother deserves something unique for all the hard work she puts in to bring that smile on your face. She is special, and deserves all your love and attention. What better way to do it than gifting her with something special on Mother's Day. You can get as creative as you want to be when choosing a gift for your mother. However, make sure that you avoid some of the worst Mother's Day gift ideas that can disappoint your mother. No matter what you gift your mom – make sure that you do not go for any of the gifts that we have listed below.
Gifts Your Mom won't be Thrilled to Get
1. Weight Loss Books or Exercise DVD's
You might think that gifting your mother a book on weight loss or a DVD on exercises would show your concern for her good health and fitness. But, you mom might misconstrue this sweet gesture and think that you are pointing out that she is fat and should lose some weight. As women, we tend to be slightly touchy about this issue. Don't you agree? So, avoid gifting her anything that makes suggestions about her weight.
2. Fancy Kitchen Gadgets
There are a lot of fancy kitchen gadgets available in the market which you might beckon to gift to your mom. Most of these gadgets are just fancy and are not of much use to your mother, which is why she never thought of adding them to her kitchen collection. Gadgets which she might never use are bad Mother's Day gifts.
3. Vacuum Cleaners
Vacuum cleaners or any other house cleaning appliances suggest that your mother should put in more work than she is already doing. Or, are you pointing out that the house is not clean enough? Unless your mother asks you for a house cleaning appliance, it would be best that you do not think of gifting her one for Mother's Day or any other day for that matter.
4. Gifts with Words Like "Best" or "#1"
These gifts are definitely passe. You might feel it from the core of your heart when you gift your mom with a "World's Best Mom" T-shirt or a mug that say "My Mom is #1" but your mother might not be thrilled to wear that T-shirt when she goes out shopping. She knows she is the best, but she would definitely not want to flaunt it to the world.
5. Pets
A cute little puppy or a kitten seems an adorable Mother's Day gift but a pet also means additional work for your mom. Do you really think adding on to her workload would be a wise decision, especially on Mother's Day?
You might argue that when it comes to gifts, all that matters is the feeling and love behind the gift rather than the gift itself. But your mother definitely deserves better for all the love and care she bestows on you. Be a little thoughtful when you select a Mother's Day gift for your mom. She is special, so the gift should be special too!! Read more

The Inspiring Story Behind the Viral Breastfeeding Mum Photo by GAP
Model Aadora Akubilo needed to nurse her son Arinze during a shoot for iconic brand GAP. The act was so natural and beautiful that GAP decided to use the moment as their campaign!
While it was a natural and normal moment for baby Arinze and model mum Aadora Akubilo, it was a moment to remember for so many Instagram followers when GAP posted this picture!
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="420"] Source: https://www.instagram.com/p/BfgbSSdjzW5/?hl=en&taken-by=gap[/caption]
The image features a beautifully captured mum breastfeeding her child and here’s the backstory!
Bridging the Breastfeeding GAP!
Akubilo was shooting for GAP’s sleepwear campaign #LoveByGapBody when her baby needed to nurse mid-shoot. On letting them know they were supportive and said she could “do it right here.”
Since Akubilo usually breastfeeds where she is she nursed her baby on set. The photographers then asked if they could capture some shots of the heartwarming act to which Akubilo obliged happily.
The images were so beautiful that they ended up being the anchor of the campaign!
“I was so happy. I felt it was affirming,” she said.
The advertisement became a big hit considering that it was helping normalize and de-sexualize breastfeeding.
In fact, this is an issue close to the models heart. She has, like so many other moms, faces questions about where she breastfeeds her son. Nursing in public has never been a problem for her.
Akubilo also practices extended breastfeeding now that her son is a toddler. In fact she has also been asked why she is still breastfeeding him.
"I felt like I was doing something wrong,” she said. “Our society in particular is not very supportive of women who nurse after a certain age.”
Her son still wants to breastfeed, and she enjoys the bonding, so why not?
Akubilo hopes that this image of her unabashedly doing what some moms feel like they need to hide will empower women.
Comments flooded in from everywhere!
"Beautiful moment captured! Thank you for Normalizing Breastfeeding in the public eye ??!", said one Instagram user.
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="420"] Source: http://www.chicagotribune.com/lifestyles/ct-life-gap-ad-model-breastfeeding-baby-0226-story.html[/caption]
Besides GAP also wanted mums to know that their clothes are comfy enough for any task! And it just so happened that breastfeeding hit the nail on the head for a range called LOVE!

My Story of an Exciting C-section for All Anxious Mommies
Generally, surgeries are thought to be scary, lying on a bed, not having any sensation, a region of your body being cut open, and some instruments going in and out of your body. However, for me, my C-section was an exciting and fun-filled journey, the story of which I would like to share with all new mothers or going-to-be mothers out there. Yes! You read it right; my C-section was indeed fun. I hope this story can relieve the tension of some of the expecting mothers.
Pregnancy is never an easy journey. Some women have a smooth one, while others bear the impacts of pregnancy, like vomiting, pain, nausea, etc. Luckily, my frequency of rushing to the restroom and the sink was very low. But my gynecologist always said, “Pregnancy is unpredictable, and one cannot be confident about anything until delivery.” For a smooth pregnancy like mine, the delivery was a surprise. I was convinced that I would have a normal delivery, but exactly after 38 weeks and five days, I was shocked when I had to be taken for an emergency C-section. My amniotic fluid was very low (though I never felt the leakage), and the baby was in breech position. Thus, I landed up in the
Operation Theatre (OT).
I was anxious before entering the OT like any other person who would undergo surgery would be. I was being prepared for the surgery, and when the time came, I was taken to the OT in a stretcher and asked to sit on the OT table. Hold tight and read! Now the fun part of the story begins. I knew spinal anesthesia would be given, and I also heard that these injections could be painful. I held on tightly to a pillow given to me and could feel a needle pricking into me. When the second dose was supposed to be administered, I started moving, thereby disallowing the nurse to inject me. The assistant held me tightly, and finally, I was given the injection. Then they tied my hands up as I lay on the table. The numbing process was very quick; suddenly, you didn’t feel your legs at all. I was amazed by how anesthesia worked. The doctors entered the OT and started talking about how to make the incision. I was shocked to hear that both have different opinions about that. There was a screen in front of me, so I could not witness the operation; however, their discussion was intriguing, scary, and amazing. They discussed how they would carry out the procedure. In just 10 minutes, my baby was out, and that loud cry of the baby brought tears to my eyes. As the anesthesiologist gave me the news that a baby girl was born, my entire life seemed to be different in a minute.
The baby was taken off me to record certain parameters and for a cleanup. In the meantime, doctors were continuing to remove the placenta and clean me up. That was when I felt like a lab rat, as there was a serious discussion about some outgrowth present at the opening of my uterus. They discussed digging deeper to find more about the outgrowth.
At this point, I was worried, and to keep my anxiety levels low, the doctors started interacting with me. Knowing my husband and me well, my gynecologist joked about not grooming my child like us. Though I was a little anxious, I was still feeling on cloud nine to become a mother to a wonderful baby girl. I was looking at the monitor, which showed that my heart was doing great. I was smiling continuously; I was amazed by the whole process, where I did not feel a thing. Later, they brought my baby to me, and as my hands were tied to the table, I could not touch her, but I managed to peck a small kiss on her cheeks. My procedure nearly took one hour to complete. Finally, I was stitched up and taken to the observation room.
The numbing effect, the discussions, the interactions, the baby’s cry, my first kiss, everything was just so exciting and overwhelming for me. Some women might connect with my experience, while others may have different opinions. However, in the end, all that matters is holding your bundle of joy in your arms - the most precious moment in a women’s life.

A. Nasal blockage is very common, specially in small children because of the narrow nasal cavity. Any kind of saline drops like nasal clear will be helpful in dissolving the stuffy secretions, which can be taken out by vnasal aspirator gently also steam inhalation will be helpful also, try to avoid keeping the child directly under the fan.
