19-Month-old Hasn't Gained Weight Since 12-Month Appt. Is This a Problem?

My in-laws are the primary caretakers of my grand-nephew, who is 19 months old now. According to my mother-in-law, he has weighed 21 pounds since he turned a year old. They have a home scale that they weigh him on. My grand-nephew sees a local pediatrician/LPN through Medicaid and my in-laws are not happy with the care he receives, and say they'd like to find a new doctor for him, but haven't had the time yet. My nephew is very, very active, weighed 5lbs at birth (born to a teen mom), and is a picky eater who really doesn't want to sit...

Itchy Ears & Head: Eczema? Allergies? Help!!!

My 6-month-old daughter has a case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. By day, she is a little angel. By night, she is an itching and scratching terror!!! Although her day naps are peaceful and uneventful, she cannot stay asleep at night. She wakes up every hour or so scratching so hard that her ears and forehead turn red. This only happens at night. When she awakens for the day, her skin looks fine and doesn't have the tell-tale rash and redness of eczema that she has behind her knees and at her inner elbows. My wife and I have been to 10...

The morning I took him to the doctor, it had already spread to his tummy. After his exam, she determined it was either contact dermatitis (meaning,...
