A. Hi momma it is not advisable to use any medicine without the prescription of doctor. So dont use any gel or anything to baby. Also avoid giving chocolates and sweets to baby. Until 1 year avoid salt, sugar, honey, and cow's milk to baby. Even water requirement is minimum

A. Hi momma it is not clear what could be the problem if child is having difficulty in swallowing. Give a good balanced diet to child with enough fruits and vegetables, leafy greens and protein. Give natural probiotics like curd and coconut water, lemon juice etc. If he is having regular issue do not self medicate, check with your child's pediatrician for diagnosis.

A. Hi momma ,it is not advisable to use neem oil for baby massage as it could irritate baby's sensitive skin. Use it after 1 year for bath if necessary. Now use only coconut oil, or olive oil, or almond oil for baby's massage if it suits baby. Else use a good quality lotion like mama earth or aveeno or sebamed or cetaphil. Refer to articles on the Firstcry app Parenting read section for more information
