Vaginal bleeding in newborn baby girl occurs in approximately 5% babies. Bleeding occur is in the first week to 10 days of life.

It happens for 2-3 days in most cases and subsides. Usually the bleeding is little. Some babies have blood tinged diapers while some bleed few drops of blood.

It is also called as false me**es. It occurs because of withdrawal of hormones that the body was exposed to in the mother’s womb.

It is a normal phenomenon for which nothing needs to be done.

So, if your baby has vaginal bleeding just after birth, do not panic.

Growing pain:
Around 10-20% of children complain of such kind of pain. The pain is usually during evenings and sometimes wakes up the child from his/her sleep too.

The exact cause of growing pain is not known. Many studies and researches have shown children may experience such pain because of:

-> Increased physical activity and overuse of the muscles
->deficiency of Vitamin D levels
-> lower pain threshold levels , causing pain in other parts of the body as well

You can help relieve this pain by:
->Massaging the painful area
->Applying heat pads (please make sure it’s not too hot or it might cause burn injury)
->In severe pain you can give a dose of Paracetamol (make sure you know the correct dose)
->In case the pain is not bearable contact your Pediatrician for a higher analgesic like ibuprofen.

Usually children outgrow this pain with age. In case of persistent pain , your child may need to get investigated for any deficiencies.

The monsoon season is here, the weather seems to be cooling down but what’s annoying the kids are the tiny mosquitoes around. It’s almost impossible to get rid of them, but we can keep our children protected by the following ways:

1. Try to keep them covered with full clothing as much as possible. They can wear light cotton clothes if the temperature is high in your area.

2. Avoid floral prints or bright colours which would attract insects.

3. Avoid unnecessary water collection in and around the house. These water bodies act as breeding ground for mosquitoes.

4. Use mosquito patches on babies clothes. These patches are made with natural substances & essential oils. They are safe to use on the child’s clothing/hat/stroller/chair etc.
They protect children Upto some extent.

5. AAP now recommends the use of insect repellent sprays above the age of 2 months. Spray only on the outside of kids clothes and exposed areas. Avoid eyes, hand & mouth area.
DEET is the most common ingredient in the these sprays - Upto 30% DEET is safe for children. A lot of DEET free sprays are available which contain essential oils.

6. It’s quite difficult to restrict children from playing where they want but try to keep them indoors, specially during monsoon season.

7. Use mosquito nets on the baby’s crib , stroller where possible.

Heat rash can occur in summers and winters both.
It occurs due to the following reasons:
1) hot weather
2) being too warmly dressed in winters
3) sometimes also due to the application of thick ointment/cream

The rash appears when the sweat glands get blocked. It looks like reddish bumps in the neck, groin, and axilla commonly.
It can appear anywhere in the body but usually appears in high friction areas(where there is increased sweating).

What to do?
1) keep your surrounding temperature cool - use a fan or air conditioner. A cool mist humidifier also helps.

2) Remove excess clothes off the child’s body. Even in winters children usually need one more layer of clothing as compared to adults.

3) Apply cool washcloth on the child’s body. You could do this several times a day.

4) Use water based cream/lotion instead of thick ointments.

This rash usually disappears in a few days and it ain’t too troublesome for the child.

Contact your doctor if the rash increases or if associated with fever or if troubles the child too much.
