I'm really concerned about my little one who's almost 1 and a half years old. He's still breastfeeding, but my wife isn't doing well health-wise. She's struggling with depression and is really weak, so she can't keep breastfeeding. We've tried giving our kid food and fruits, but he still cries a lot for his mother's milk and doesn't like drinking regular milk. Could you please give us advice on how to wean him off breastfeeding?

I've been dealing with chickenpox since yesterday, and my doctor told me to get some rest and prescribed HERPERAX 800. But when I went to the pharmacy, they gave me something called Herpikind instead. I'm really wondering, are these two medications basically the same when it comes to treating chickenpox?

I can understand your concern well. You need not worry at all. I can surely help you in this regard.But, for the best advise specific to you, I need to know some important medical history that's required in your case.

I'm a mother of a 4-month-old baby and I'm currently breastfeeding. I got the Covishield vaccine this morning and I'm wondering if it's safe for me to take Dolo 650 while I'm breastfeeding. Is that something you'd recommend?

Congratulations on reaching this milestone! At 5 months 6 days, you can introduce Cerelac as a supplementary food. For your baby's age, suitable Cerelac options are: Cerelac Wheat (single-grain cereal) Cerelac Rice (single-grain cereal) Consult your pediatrician before introducing any new food. Always follow the instructions on the packaging and prepare the cereal as recommended.
