#AskTheExpert I want to increase weight of my baby.. still she is very small as compared to other babies.. plz advise and how to get rid of insect bites.

A. If you're formula feeding your baby, figure on 1 to 2 ounces of infant formula every 2 to 3 hours for those first few days. The time between feedings will get longer (3 to 4 hours) as your baby's tummy grows and can hold more formula at each feeding.Apply a cold, damp compress to your child's bite.Apply a 1 percent hydrocortisone cream to the bite. This cream, which contains a steroid, should temporarily reduce or even alleviate the itching. ... Make a paste of baking soda and water and apply it to the bite several times a day.
