But that should be taken for not more than seven days and also you should take high fiber rich diet. You can also be prescribed for local anaesthetic gel for local application around rectum area if the pain is so much but the syrup i prescribed should be more than enough. ...

Express milk frequently to avoid congestion and pain , and to maintain further milk flow. Feed your baby first with expressed breast milk(ebm) using spoon, and later the formula feed. Once healed, you can start nursing (breast-feeding) directly. Most imp is adequate weight gain - if this is satisfactory and there is no feed intolerance, you can usually change to normal formula feeds after your child has completed 37-38 weeks (i.e. 2-3 weeks after birth). ...

Hi My baby is 11 months old and he don't like to eat. Even he dont take breast feeding also. I tried so many time to feed him solid food but he refuse it.. but I feed him forcefully. Nw his waight is 8.8 nd his waight is not gaining. Plz tell me how to gain

Do not force feed your baby. Give him 3-4 meals a day. Try home based food like khichri (rice and dal), boiled and mashed vegetable, boiled egg, solid fruits like banana, papaya, apple, Dahi etc. Make the food tasty. Even if he takes small amounts of different types of food, it will be enough for him. Continue to breast feed. ...
