A. If your daughter is unable to hold objects or track directions visually, and she is already a few months old, it's important to monitor her developmental milestones closely. Babies usually start tracking movements by 2–3 months and begin grasping objects by 3–4 months. If she hasn’t reached these milestones, it’s a good idea to consult a pediatrician or a child development specialist to rule out any delays. Bal gutti is a traditional herbal preparation given to babies to help with digestion, immunity, and overall health. It is usually started after 1–2 months of age, but you should consult your doctor before starting it, especially for babies who are exclusively breastfed. For an exclusively breastfed baby, apart from bottle sterilization (if used), you should take care of: Clean hands and utensils used while handling expressed milk. Proper latch and feeding position to avoid swallowing air. Regular burping after feeds. Breast hygiene – clean and dry nipples before and after feeding. Ensure the baby is passing urine 6–8 times a day and gaining weight properly. Each baby grows at their own pace, but regular monitoring and early intervention are key for healthy development.
