I'm trying to figure out which deworming medication is better for my 5-year-old, Bandy or Bandy Plus. Can you explain the difference between the two? I'm a bit worried about which one is the right choice for my kid.

For a 5-year-old, Bandy is generally preferred for deworming, as it contains the standard dosage for children. Bandy Plus has additional ingredients that may be used for broader treatment, but it's best to consult a pediatrician for the right choice based on the child's specific needs. Always follow the doctor's recommendation for the safest and most effective option.

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?
