Q. when will pediasure start my child

ExpertDr. Vaibhav jainPaediatrician7 mins ago

A. u can start after 2 yr of age . Immunity boost has to be natural and not artificial by supplements unless your doctor has advised you. -firstly by exclusive breast feeding ur babu till 6 mnths as mother milk has natural antibodies. -Secondly, by vaccinating ur baby as per the schedule -thirdly by giving vit c rich fruits like lime, oranges kiwi, plums and berries and green leafy vegetables and a good amount of protein. -Avoid any type of health drinks as they mostly have sugar n flavour not good for baby and not allowed in less than 2 yrs of age . -U can give protein powder if doc recommends it like graviva etc.

Q. My baby just started his 8 month. he is having cough, plz tell which medicine to give. thank you

ExpertDr. Vaibhav jainPaediatrician6 mins ago

A. it is sign if season flu or viral . any weather change can give your baby mild cold, cough and congestion so learn some handy tips -every time antibiotics are not needed. -give nasivion or nasoclear saline drops for congestion. - give indirect steam inhalation , means steam should not go directly in baby s nose but you should put in a steamer in a closed room so that steam is in the surrounding. -If does nt get better or you feel baby has abnormal breathing sounds then see ur doc as soon as you can for auscultation n examination. -applying any vaporubs in baby s nose is not advised. - for dry cough no medicine is advised , for wet cough you can give syp ascoril LS 2.5 ml 2 times a day - its a myth that some fruits like banana or any odr food items can cause cold, bcz cold is an infection, mostly viral in origin and foods dnt cause infection

Q. my baby having over breastfeeding in night times, so I'm introducing Buffalo milk to her through the bottle feed in night time is that gd for my baby

UrsMom of a 5 yr 10 m old boy5 mins ago

A. hello cow's milk will be the best over bufallo milk for the baby..Cow milk contains a lower amount of fat as compared to buffalo milk. This is why buffalo milk is thicker than cow milk. Cow milk has 3-4 percent of fat, while buffalo milk has about 7-8 percent. Buffalo milk is heavy, so it takes time to digest and keeps you fuller for a longer period of time.
