In confinement we are told to wear long sleeve clothes, and not sit in aircon room or have the fan switched on. as the cool air will cause wind and cause problems later on. Is this true?

Logically speaking, when the body is weak in general (could be from delivery, from sickness or even low immunity), sitting in a room that's too cold can be quite uncomfortable. Even if you are not in confinement, prolonged exposure to the cold without proper cover and clothings will make you sick eventually. However, in a humid climate like the region's, it's a bit impossible to go without air con and fans. Wearing long sleeve clothes can be quite uncomfortable as well. I'd say everything in moderation and as for the long sleeves, if your elders do insist on it, maybe you can get those that are made of woven material, the kinds that are light and airy instead of thick sweaters and cardigans.

Can baby with eczema pierce ears?

My friend pierced her baby's ears and the child has a mild case of eczema but nothing adverse has happened so far. I read that people with eczema should avoid wearing earrings with nickel as those will irritate the skin. Other than that, it should be ok. I, myself, have mild eczema that acts up whenever I'm stressed and I've pierced ears since I was a baby.

Are developmental growth spurts the same as physical growth spurts?

By developmental growth spurts, I'm assuming you are referring to leaps (or also known as Wonder Weeks). Leaps are related to brain development while growth spurts are periods of physical growth and weight gain. A baby may become fussier and clingy during both periods. Baby will likely cry more and needs to be cuddle more. Growth spurts typically happen at set intervals and the physical changes may be quite notable. Some major Growth spurts can generally be expected between one and three weeks, between six and eight weeks, at three months, at six months and at nine months. However, there are more growth spurts than this. During both a leap and a growth spurt, a mother can expect her baby to feed more. There may also be sleep problems.

Does myopia get worse with age?

Myopia usually stops getting worse by age 20 if good habits are maintained and most nearsightedness stabilizes at a mild to moderate level then.

When new born baby cries at night does your preschooler get disturbed in sleep? Does he wake up? I m planning to share same room for new born and my 3 year old. How convenient is that? What are draw backs?

Depends on how good a sleeper your preschooler is. My friend's 3 year old is such a sound and deep sleeper, it doesn't bother him at all when his parents mobile phone rings or beeps. That being said, some kids can be really light sleepers. I suggest you give the arrangement a trial run over a weekend and see how your older child reacts when baby cries. If it's difficult to get both of them back to sleep, best to let your older child sleep in his own room since he has to get to school the next day.
