What is in the MMR?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
MMR vaccines contain live measles, mumps and rubella viruses that have been weakened (attenuated). These stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies for protection but do not cause disease in healthy people. Usual dosing in children is two doses - first at 9 to 12 months and second at 16 to 24 months of age.

View allI'm really concerned about my 2-month-old son's condition. He's got white patches all over his mouth after drinking milk. I'm not sure if this is something normal or if I need to do something about it. Could you please advise on what might be going on and what steps I should take?
The white patches in your 2-month-old son's mouth, appearing after feeding, are likely thrush, a common fungal infection; consult your pediatrician for a proper diagnosis and guidance, and in the meantime, try to clean the patches gently with a soft cloth and water, and ensure proper sterilization of pacifiers and bottle nipples.

I'm really concerned about my 9-month-old baby. They're having a bowel movement after every single feeding, like 6 times or even more in a day. It's usually within an hour after they eat. We did a stool test, and everything came back normal, but my baby just isn't gaining weight. What could be happening, and how can we help them?
Hi there, I understand your concern. Frequent stools after each feed can sometimes be a sign of digestive sensitivity or a mild intolerance, but since the stool test is normal, it's good to rule out infections. I recommend closely monitoring the baby's feeding patterns and discussing with your pediatrician about possible adjustments to the feeding routine or exploring other underlying causes for the weight concerns.

my 5-month-old baby weighs 6.5 kg and needs to gain weight for her cleft palate surgery right now she's on formula milk around 800ml daily plus some ragi porridge and occasional breast milk since my supply is low i try feeding her 90ml every 2 hours but she refuses to take 150ml at once like the doctor suggested what else can i feed her to help her gain weight faster
Every child is different. One child may take 90ml every 2 hours and one child may take 180ml and remain full for 4 to 6 hours. So need not worry. Also weight gain is good. Continue what you are doing and don't force feed.
