Track Your Baby's Developmental Milestones!

As a parent, it's essential to monitor your baby's growth and development. Here are 5 significant milestones to look out for:

- Baby's First Tooth: Between 6-12 months, your baby's lower front teeth will start to appear. By age 3, they'll have a full set of baby teeth!

- Crawling: Between 6-10 months, your baby will start to crawl. Remember, every baby develops at their own pace!

- Walking: Between 9-12 months, your baby will take their first steps. Some might start earlier or later, but that's completely normal!

- Sitting Up: Between 4-6 months, your baby will start trying to sit up. By 5-9 months, they'll be able to sit up on their own briefly!

- First Words: Between 12-18 months, your baby will start using single words. By age 2, they'll say two-word phrases, and by age 3, they'll have a vocabulary explosion!

Keep in mind that every baby develops at their own pace, and some might need a little more time to reach these milestones. If you have concerns, always consult with your paediatrician.

No - Generally, you don’t need sunscreen unless you have some skin issue for which you need UV protection from sunlight. People with darker skin are less likely to experience sunburn.

Many experts believe that there is no clear link between sun exposure and skin cancer among people with dark skin.

Most of us love milk, but sometimes, it causes bloating, gas, diarrhoea, stomach pain, or cramps, If you experience this, you may be lactose intolerant. Today we break down .

What Causes Lactose Intolerance?
If you often have bloating, gas, diarrhoea, stomach pain, or cramps after drinking milk or eating foods that contain dairy products, you may be lactose intolerant. It is common in adults. Between 30 million to 50 million adults have it.

What Is Lactose Intolerance?
Lactose intolerance means that your body can’t digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products. This happens when your small intestine doesn’t make enough lactase, the enzyme that breaks down lactose.

What are the types of Lactose Intolerance?
Primary lactose intolerance is the most common form. Our bodies typically stop making lactase by about age 5 (as early as age 2 for African Americans).
Secondary lactose intolerance happens because of an injury, or illness to small intestine and cause you to make less lactase.
Developmental lactose intolerance happens in babies who are born prematurely.
Congenital lactose intolerance is very rare and is a genetic disorder and both parents have to pass the gene on to their child.

Lactose Intolerance or Dairy Allergy?
Lactose intolerance is not the same as a dairy allergy. The two are often confused. If you have dairy allergy, you’re allergic to certain proteins in milk and dairy products. Dairy allergy reactions can be life-threatening.

Can It Be Prevented?
It can’t be prevented and there isn’t a cure for it. But it’s easily treated. Limit the amount of food and drink you have that contains lactose. You can also take lactase enzyme supplements to help your body digest lactose.
