: An interlabial mass in newborn girls is diagnosed usually after birth or during the first days or weeks of life. According to various studies, its prevalence ranges between 1 : 500 and 1 : 7,000 newborn girls.

Pituitary apoplexy is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition of sudden hemorrhage or infarction within the pituitary gland that results in symptoms of acute onset such as severe headache, visual impairment, and hormonal deficiencies. Though more common in adults, the same criteria for diagnostic and management dilemmas apply to pediatric cases. We present the case of a nine-year-old boy presenting with acute-onset severe headache and significant visual deterioration suggestive of pituitary apoplexy.

Parents and pediatricians play pivotal roles in promoting a nurturing environment for children's growth and development, especially during the critical first thousand days of life. Given the challenges involved in infant care and rearing, parents often rely on pediatricians' professional support in a wide range of daily caregiving practices as diverse as complementary feeding, hygiene management, pacifier use, or sleep routines. Nevertheless, little attention has been devoted to the in vivo observation of how parents actually request advice on babies' everyday care, and how pediatricians attend to such requests.
