Dt Ritu PuriGuardian of a 8 yr 8 m old girl8 years agoA. None of these things are recommended, as your baby is very small. Dont give jaifal. rather just breast feed well, as breast milk helpa in fight back all infections

PriyankaMom of a 9 yr old boy8 years agoA. Don’t use Vicks Vaporub but babyrub. That’s specially for babies. Calpol drops are given for fever but check with yr doc once. And rum!! Babies are not for experiments you know!!! Every baby will have 6-7 colds in first year at least which builds immunity in them. So it’s okay but make sure fever comes down. Take care. God bless...
