How much should a girl 10 year old weigh?
- Weight is related to height and body composition rather than age. Therefore, there is no specific weight that a 10-year-old girl should weigh. We would need to know your height and body composition in order to answer your question.
- Keep in mind that everyone is different because they inherit different bone structures and metabolisms from their families.
- For in-depth information about weight in relation to height, or to see the weight/height charts for children, or to learn how to deal with unhealthy weight gain in children, see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.
It is said that a 10 year old girl should weigh about 70-80 lbs. when I was 10, I weighed 71-73. But girls shouldn't worry about their weight to much, because they can become under weight, and everyone is different. Even though people should care about their appearance, live is too short to worry if they are a couple pounds above the suggested weight. 59 and down is considered, under weight for this aged child. If you are 71 or older try limiting unhealthy snacks and make those snacks fruits and vegetables. Try riding your bike and exercising often, even if you are the suggested weight, exercising is good for your body and keeps your blood rate up. If you are still experiencing weight problems at this age, have salads with your dinner and order fruits or vegetables instead of fries at restaurants and limit going out to eat.

5 year old complaining of shoulder pain and won't raise arm?
First: Believe him.
Second: The answer is almost always an injury to the shoulder joint or the clavicle (collar bone). Most commonly it is a fracture of the clavicle (collar bone) but there are other injuries possible also. Look carefully at his collar bone on that side. Palpate (very gently push) on the collar bone along its length starting at the breastbone and continuing outward to the shoulder joint. If there is a tender spot anywhere along that bone then a fracture is very probable. I am a pediatrician. I suggest he be examined to confirm the cause and then follow the physician's advice. Casting isn't necessary but occasionally a sling which Does Not go over that bone can relieve pain and discomfort while it heals. A length of 2 inch tube bandage can be used for a temporary sling (my pharmacy carries this). Have the child bend his arm at the elbow and hold his lower arm across his body. Measure from his fingertips to the elbow, then cross up his back to the opposite shoulder, then down his chest to the same fingertips. Add 10 inches to this measurement. That is the length of 2 in. tube you need. Cut a short slit in the tube just where it rounds the elbow. Gently slide his lower arm into the tube, through the slit, so that his fingertips are just showing at the end. From his elbow bring the tube across his back to the opposite shoulder and down to his wrist (in the tube). Go around his wrist twice and tie or pin the tail of the tube bandage to itself where it crosses his chest. Do not give children Aspirin. He may have Acetominophen at the dose recommended on the label for his age group.

What happens if you blow into a baby's nose is it harmful?
Yes, put you mouth over your baby's mouth and then blow gently. You will probably only have to blow once and wipe the mucus from his nose! This really worked for my son who is a week shy of turning 4 months. He got the cold for the first time and was so congested that he could not eat. The mucus remover seems to irritate his nose with so many tries to remove the snot. One blow cleared his nose, he ate and now is sleeping peacefully. Hope this helps! Again don't blow too hard!

Comment on above -JBU
MRSA is not a virus! it is Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus, a bacteria. A variant of Staphylococcus aureus (Staph) that is resistant to penicillin and relate antibiotics derived from penicillin. It is important to note that viruses can not be treated with antibiotics, though some doctors do prescribe them to patients with viral infections as a prophylactic against secondary or opportunistic bacterial infections. It must be stated, that if doctors were not so cavalier in prescribing antibiotics MRSA may never come into existence. To those who have been prescribed an antibiotic You must complete the course of treatment even if you feel better. if you miss doses call your doctor and find out what to do since this is dependent on the antibiotic.

Mead Johnson doesn't seem to carry it, nor does the Milupa webpage.

Does Klinefelter's syndrome affect a particular population or race?
No race is more likely to spontaneously have issues with meiosis, and as Klinefelter's is not hereditary (anyone with it is infertile and cannot pass on genes) no race will become more likely to have Klinefelter's syndrome.
The population of older women who have children is more likely to have Klinefelter's babies. Older women are less likely to miscarry a baby with a chromosomal defect, so more Klinefelter's babies are born to them.
