my 1 year old son feels to vomit just by seeing his food. He is difficult eater when I started introducing solid foods when he was 6 months.. Then I used to play his poems while feeding him.. Since few days he feels to vomit just by seeing his food.. He used to like ceralac but now after first spoon he just try to vomit.. He has got 6 teeth 3 months ago. Since 3 months , no more new teeth is coming but i can see his gums are red and bit sore since 10 days.

There is still lot of time for erruption of the other deciduous ( milk) teeth. However the permanent teeth will errupt at around 6 - 7 yrs. So nothing to worry for the time being. You can always get a routine dental checkup done by a pedodontist. ...

Hi, Yes that is why i prescribed you with syrup lactulose so that you pass a litlle soft stools and if there is any fissure in rectum that gets time to heal up and yes that syrup is fine when you are lactating. 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. ...

Baby is suffering from cold and more importantly cough since past 2 days. Doctor has prescribed T-minic drops 0.5 ml oral for 3 days and post to which cough didnot subside, then to use Kufril drops 0.5 ml thrice a day. However on using first instance of T-minic baby had pooped 4 times (Can be because he was on antibiotics just a week back for ear infection. His stools were more in number atleast twice after every feed. But once medicnes are stopped his stools were back to normal and he poops only once a day). and also his cough has increased very much. His feeding routine got slightly distrubed as he is not able to complete the bottle with ease. He leaves an ounce or so sometimes due to stuffy nose or congestion. Are these medications safe for a 5 month old baby? if not what precautions to be taken to soothe him from cough and cold?

Thanks for your query... First of all we need to exclude lower respiratory tract infection which may include pneumonia or bronchiolitis.Take your child to a paediatrician for clinical examination.U mentioned your child was on antibiotics 3 times in last 4 months.Was it due to lactose intolerance only leading to loose motions or for some other illness also ?? Has exclusive bottle feeding advised to you by a paediatrician after diagnosis of lactose intolerance or the child was bottle fed since bi ...

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. ...
