hello dr. my baby is one month old, every time i feed, after few time, my baby will thru up sime quantity of milk out, which will be in curd like texture.. i will follow burrping after feeding. please provide ur suggestions
Shipra Mathur
HI Shireen, its very common to have some throwing up after feeds in babies -its called reflux and improves with time. keep the baby upright for longer after feeds and can sleep with head end raised. If the vomits are significant, then weight gain is also affected so keep a track of that- sometimesmedication is needed then.

Shipra Mathur
Hi shilpi, given her birth weight she has done ok the usual weight at this age would be 13 kg or so. Make sure she has a healthy balanced diet rich in proteins like egg, dal, beans etc for growth and fruits and vegetables to provide vitamins for better immunity.

My baby is 4 years old . Her weight is 14.5 kg. She doesnot eat anything even fruits also. I am very worry about her diet. If i forced she often vomit. Please give any valuable suggestion..
Shipra Mathur
hi, her weight is not worryingly low and if she is otherwise healthy and active, do not force her but gently introduce healthier options in everyday meals. dry fruits, fruit milk shakes, porridge with vegetables in it etc are some options for her.

hello doctor....my daughter is a preterm baby. her birth weight was 2.39kg. now she is 2yrs 6months old baby. her weight is around 12+ kg. is this normal? every time i feed her......it takes 1 to 2hrs. she does not prefer non veg food except egg omlette. can i give her one plain egg omlette daily? what should be the food chart and timing for her. should i allow her to have her own food by herself at this age? she tries to utter words with english nursery rhymes.....but when i ask her to utter something most if the time she avoids. How can i make her speak with me so that she can speak properly. thank u. best regards
Shipra Mathur
hi, yes her weight gain is ok. She can have an egg a day in any form. Aim for 3 main meals and 2 snacks at least in between. . gap of 2-3 hours or so. yes, encourage her to feed herself -- can give more finger foods too.
Continue to converse with her..by now there should be 2 word phrases ..any worries, please have her assessed by your paediatrician in clinic.

Shipra Mathur
hi, you have to increase her fluid intake and reduce maida containing foods/junk from her diet. more vegetables and fruits..in milk shakes, stuffed paranthas , soups. If constipation is significant, use medication also to relieve it until diet takes care of it.

Hello Mam, My son very frsquently affected with Cold and Cough. He also suffered through tonsil. please advise how to prevent. Bcos of this he is not gaining weight as per his age grows. Also he is not willing to eat any food at all. Seems he never feel hungry and don't want to eat any time.
Shipra Mathur
hi prachi, you will have to find ways to include fruits and green vegetables in his daily diet to improve his immunity. give fruit milk shakes, stuffed paranthas, vegetable soups , egg etc. if he is anaemic, he may benefit from iron supplementation that helps with appetite too.

hi prerna, some babies do take longer in achieving these but it would be worthwhile having her examined from a development point of view by a paediatrician who can take a detailed history, look at muscle tone etc to make sure its fine.

Hello Doc, We got our son vaccinated at a govt. dispensary and covered most of them. However, the private hospitals suggest additional vaccinations and they say that these are crucial for your child even if you are through all the govt ones. What should we do?
Shipra Mathur
Hi, there are extra ones that are recommended - notably PCV against pneumonia and rotavirus vaccine - these to be given in infancy. Hopefully willbe a part of government schedule too soon. later- Hep a and typhoid to be given in 2nd year of life.

My baby is 21 months old. i want to stop breast feeding in night time. he doesn't take milk at night. i tried to give him milk in bottle but he didn't accept. also his tummy is full when he sleeps. what can be done to stop beeast feeding?
Shipra Mathur
hi Ishwinder, it appears to be more of a comfort feed then. Let him sleep with another family member/father for a few days and soon he will get used to not having a night feed. Make sure he is well fed in the evening before he sleeps .
