Keerthana A.
HSR Layout · Baby 10m
Q:
"My 10mo refuses purees and gags on soft veggies. Is this normal gagging or sensory issue? We are getting super anxious during every meal."
Hoola Nutritionist:
"Around 9-11 months, tongue lateralization matures. If baby brings hands to mouth and bites toys happily, it's rarely a true sensory issue. Try letting baby hold an empty spoon while you offer finger-safe steamed florets. Remove pressure, keep meals under 20 mins, and model chewing enthusiastically in front of them!"

Vikram N.
Varthur · Toddler 19m
Q:
"Post 18-month DPT shot our toddler was waking up 4-5 times crying hysterically every night for 10 days now. Is this lingering pain or sleep regression?"
Dr. Shivangi Bora (Pediatrician):
"Direct vaccination tenderness subsides within 48-72 hours. At 18 months, there is a prominent developmental leap involving separation anxiety and language explosion. The vaccine clinic visit likely broke the sleep pattern, creating a reset cycle. Maintain bedtime routine consistency, avoid introducing new sleep props right now."

Deepa R.
Electronic City · Baby 22m
Q:
"He has about 6 words and points to everything with 'uh-uh'. Family says boys talk later, but my pediatrician gut feeling says check. Should I wait till age 2?"
Hoola Speech Language Pathologist:
"Never ignore a parent's intuition! While word counts vary, by 22m we look for 20+ words and joint attention. The myth that 'boys just talk later' often delays timely support. Let's do a 15-min play-based language milestone screening at Hoola to check imitation & comprehension."
