A. If your baby has G6PD deficiency, it means their red blood cells are more vulnerable to certain triggers that can cause them to break down, leading to anemia. To keep your baby safe, avoid giving them foods like fava beans and soy products, as well as certain medications such as some antibiotics (like sulfonamides), antimalarials, and pain relievers like aspirin. Also, avoid exposure to chemicals like naphthalene (found in mothballs). Always inform any doctor or pharmacist about the G6PD condition before giving medicines. Keeping your baby away from infections and promptly treating any illness is also important, as infections can trigger symptoms. Regular follow-up with your pediatrician will help manage and protect your baby’s health.
