I took petogen without realizing I shouldn't while breastfeeding. What should I do now? My baby is three months old and this was my first injection.

Consult a gynecologist to confirm the pregnancy and discuss options. Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) might be a viable option, but it's essential to follow local laws and regulations. Typically, MTP is allowed up to 12 weeks of gestation. Your wife's pregnancy is likely around 1-2 weeks, considering her period date was on the 23rd.

My daughter had her 6-week vaccinations on March 8th, and since then, she's had a lump on her thigh. The doctor suggested using hot water treatment, but there's still a small lump there. Could you give me some advice on what else I should do or if this is normal?

Is it normal to get a lump after an injection? Getting a lump under your skin is a normal and expected injection site reaction. The lump may be painful or tender. As with other symptoms related to injection site reactions, get medical attention if your symptoms last longer than 1 to 2 days or get worse.

I'm really concerned because my 2-month-old baby, who's exclusively breastfed, has been experiencing loose motions three times a day. Is this normal for her age and diet, or should I be worried about something else going on?

It's possible that your baby is experiencing loose motions due to a mild viral infection, a sensitivity to something in your diet, or even teething. Since shes exclusively breastfed, its important to monitor her hydration and consult with a pediatrician to rule out any underlying causes.
