sleep supplements for babies
Are there any scientific protocols for babies to help them fall asleep and stay asleep? behavioral methods and supplements. Is there any scientific data on which supplements are safe and effective for babies to promote sleep. I just finde advice on how parents can cope better with sleep deprivation, but it would be an interesting approach to start with the baby so that the parents don't even get that sleep deprived. I also wonder what scientific methods there are to make the baby cry less during the day. Thank you so much!
Severe ABI/Meningitis recovery
I have a friend that was hospitalized with a severe case of bacterial meningitis over a year ago. She spent weeks in a NCCU. She survived but her recovery is very slow and outcomes are unknown, but we are not optimistic that she will ever leave her nursing home. I believe she is currently in a confused conscious plus state. I’ve gleaned multiple tid-bits from multiple episodes (sugar, gut health, brain health, working memory, etc). It’s very difficult to control her environment as she’s in a nursing home. What can you recommend I and the family do to bolster her chances of better recovery outcomes through diet, medication, brain exercise, etc, understanding that she is fed by the facility, doesn’t have a lot of interaction with people throughout the day, and has been through weeks of heavy antibiotics and was on a feeding tube for the better part of a year. Thanks in advance
Dermatology and "skin serums"
It would be very useful to have a dermatology episode (I'm not sure if that would connect nicely to the 'sunscreen' discussion, but it could dovetail nicely). It could cover typical skin diseases/issues and causes/treatments - and whether there are 'internal' ways to provide relief (how many skin issues are caused by microbiome or diet imbalance). Along with the sunscreen issue, are there general additives and ingredients that are red flags to avoid when buying skin products. Also, is there science behind all the 'serums' and products out claiming to even skin blemishes and tones (are they actually healing the skin or just covering things up)? Are there possible negative consequences to using them (similar to mouthwash...is it a temporary fix that ultimately isn't a positive)?
