My baby is in her rolling phase. However she didn’t roll for an entire day. Is everything okay?
I realize this response is a little late. I trust your baby is rolling now. I would be concerned if a baby stopped doing something she was previously doing, but if a baby stopped temporarily, I would not think anything was wrong. I'm assuming she wasn't ill, or hadn't fallen. Has she resumed rolling? Regards, Dr. M READ MORE
I believe my son has ADHD. How can I tell for sure?
Unfortunately, the only test is time itself. A child this young cannot reliably be diagnosed with ADHD. You could, however, discuss it with your pediatrician to determine whether a consultation with a developmental specialist might be in order. Michael G. Martin, MD READ MORE
My baby blinks excessively. What's wrong?

Can my child give me chickenpox?
Yes, you could contract chicken pox from your child. The shingles vaccine is indicated in adults older than age 50. Most people that age had chicken pox as children, however, they could have an outbreak of shingles as a result. The risk is low, but definitely possible. READ MORE
Motion sickness in children?
Generally people who suffer with motion sickness benefit from sitting in the front seat of the car and looking straight ahead. However, in general, we do not recommend having children younger than 13 in the front seat, and many states prohibit having children sit in the front. Medications can be effective. Motion sickness can also be a sign of migraine headaches. READ MORE

Is asthma hereditary?
Asthma does have an hereditary component. You can't do much about that. About the best you can do to prevent asthma at this time, is to avoid exposure to environmental smoke. READ MORE
Can autism be developed?
It is usually not possible to detect autism in a newborn. It is very difficult to detect in the first year. There are certain behaviors that can suggest autism in very young children. As children get older, their failure to communicate and interact with others is usually the clue that autism is present, and it was probably always there, only we're not smart enough to detect it. It is definitely not caused by your child's vaccines. READ MORE
Diabetes affecting my baby
It is possible, but if you have been keeping your condition under good control, the effect should be minimal. Good luck! READ MORE
Can I do anything to stop my child from wetting the bed?
Although bedwetting is not unusual in children that age, the fact that he started recently after being dry for how many years?, is unusual. He needs to see his doctor, and be evaluated for diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, kidney problems, etc. READ MORE
Wiring a broken jaw
That is a difficult question. Age is an important factor, as is the type of fracture she suffered. It would be important to know these things. Has her oral surgeon discussed the length of time to recovery with you? READ MORE
Is my child's hyperactivity due to Claritin?
Yes it could. Perhaps you could stop the treatment, and see if she comes down off the walls. Also, perhaps another medication would help her allergies without causing that side effect. READ MORE
