How to teach colors to babies?

The best way to do this is to show them the colour and then clearly pronounce the name of the colour. Or you could weave colours into sentences like, "look at the brown doggie!"

Is it recommended to keep the baby on a formula for longer and delay introduction of cow's milk if there is known history of lactose intolerance in the family?

Better to stay on the safe side and check with your PD when your baby can start on cow's milk based on his and your family's medical history. Aside from lactose intolerance, there are other risks like iron deficiency anemia. See them here: http://wholesomebabyfood.momtastic.com/milkforbaby.htm

Any home remedies that can help cope with bronchial asthma in kids?

Hi Sumati, I've heard that ginger tea helps this. Cut an inch size piece of ginger and let it brew in hot water for 10 minutes. If this is too strong for your child, sweeten it with honey and let it cool to room temperature.

To mums, whose babies are in childcare -- how do you ensure baby-led weaning?

My elder was sent to childcare once he is 18 months old. Initially, he have to be fed because he didn't know how. But less then a week, he began feeding himself. I guess this is also part of baby-led weaning. You may voice out to the teachers on your expectations and give the school calls during the day to check on their progress too

A friend has been diagnosed with Polyhydramnios in her 37th week. What does it mean for her baby and her? Is there anything that she can do improve the situation?

Usually, expectant mothers with polyhydramnios will be advised to rest and to avoid activities that make them breathless. Sometimes, the doctor might prescribe a drug to reduce the amount of urine the baby passes in order to not add on to the existing fluids. If you have severe polyhydramnios, you may need some of the amniotic fluid to be drained off to reduce the risk of premature labour. This procedure can be risky, sometimes causing infection, bleeding and complications with the placenta. Best treatment in most cases is for expectant moms to take early maternity leave and rest as much as possible. Not to worry though, the majority of moms with polyhydramnios give birth to perfectly healthy babies.
