Drooling while sleep and less appetite
Hello,
I have a 1.5 year old baby boy. From past few weeks he is not eating properly. Also sometimes he drools during night sleep. Someone told that he must be having worms in his stomach (that's why he drools). Need your help in understanding. I never felt that he is having stomach ache or he is feeling uneasy. How to figure out whether he is having worms or not.

Drooling is often seen in babies till 2 year of age. It takes time to develop full neurological control. Worm infestation are very rare at this early age.
Don't worry so much and monitor weight every month.
Also check other milestone of development.
If you need further assistance, you may consult online or offline at nearest Pediatrician.

dear parents,
according to me stop milk from 8amto8pm and give semisolid diet like Dal,dalia,khicdi alu kela rice,apple,upama,halwa,patolia,rab,kadi idle poha satu custard etc and from 80pmto8am give mother milk is preferable
to start with stop milk for 4hrs for 15days and give semisolid diet next 15days stop milk for 8hrs and give semisolid diet lastly stop milk from 8amto8pm and give semisolid diet.
for your knowledge 100ml milk gives 70calories of energy 100ml juices give 55calories of energy and 100gm of semisolid diet gives 350calories of energy
for worms check anus around 9pm every day, white pin worms can be seen if infected
