Breast feeding is the most essential part of infant caring.Every child should be breast fed exclusively for the first 6 months of life.There is no substitute for this.

There are many nutrients available in mothers milk which are not available in other milk.It is essential for the proper growth of infants.It also helps mother in many ways.It is also essential for emotional bonding between mother and child.

There are pressures on mother from family,society and from some medical professionals ,not to breast feed the baby if she has become pregnant again.

There are many explanantions in favour of it.It is believed that, if a mother feeds the baby when she is pregnant again,there will be spontaneuos abortion,there will be preterm delivery,there will be growth retardation of fetus carried by mother,mother will become weak due to nutritional deficiency.

All explanations for not breasting feeding during pregnancy are baseless as per current knowledge.There has been no scientific study to prove these concepts.

The fact is ,mother can continue breast feed her infant while she is pregnant and she has to take nutritious diets and keep her health in good condition.

Pneumonia is the most common killer for children below 5 years of age.It is a condition,characterised by fever,Tachypnea,with or without,chest retraction,flaring of ala nasi,head bobbing,suprasternal retraction,cyanosis, and vomiting.If there is only fever and tachypnea,it is called mild pneumonia.If it is associated with chest retration,it is called moderate to severe Pneumonia and if there is cyanosis with refusal to feed with or without seizure ,it is called very severe Pneumonia.

Pneumonia should be diagnosed clinically.Usually chest X-Ray is not required to diagnose Pneumonia.Chest X-Ray exposes the child to ionising radiation which is harmful for a growing lung.But,if the child does not respond to appropriate treatment within 48 hours,or the child deteriorates even after continuous treatment appropriately for 48 hours,chest X-Ray should be done to rule out complications of Pneumonia in the form of Parapneumonic effusion or the most severe form of severe Pneumonia,i.e,NECROTISING PNEUMONIA.

Diwali is a festival of India which is celebrated in every part of India.It is a festival of light,celebrated every year during later part of October or first part of November

Traditionally,people burn crackers to express their happiness on this occasion.India has a huge population.When,people burn crackers on the same day,huge smokes come in the air.

Children breath more frequently than adults.When they inhale smokes ,it irritates the airways.Children,who have asthma are very sensitive to any changes in air quality. So they develop asthma exacerbation(flare ups),ranging from mild to severe.Some children have to visit pediatric emergency department due to deficiency of oxygen.Some have to be admitted in Pediaric intensive care units..

So,the practice of crackers burning should be avoided.When you feel any changes in respiratory activities of your children,please contact Dr.Dev,Pediatric Pulmonologist,Sahibabad,UP,NCR,Delhi
