Repeated episodes of cough or difficulty in breathing may be a manifestation of Asthma in children.It is a common belief that,Asthma is a disease of adults and it does not occur in children.The fact is that, Asthma can occur at any age and it has been diagnosed and treated successfully in many infants less than one year of age.

Asthma has a genetic predisposition but a child not predisposed genetically may also develop Asthma.There should be an interaction with offending environment for a child genetically predisposed to develop Asthma.

Asthma in children is an allergic disease of respiratory system.But it may be nonallergic also.Allergy may be due to many things in the air or in the foods.

When a child develop breathlessness,usually parents call it as pneumonia.But it may not be pneumonia,it may be Asthma only or Asthma associated with Pneumonia.There are many conditions in children which looks like Asthma. So an expert and qualified doctor only can diagnose the condition as Asthma.

The mainstay of long term management of Asthma is inhalational steroid.Many parents are scared of steroid.There is no reason to be scared of steroid if it is given in right dose and duration which will be decided by a doctor. Steroid is not a poison,rather it may be nector when it becomes life saving in acute severe exacerbation of Asthma. In such conditions, it is given orally(through mouth) or intravenously(i.v.injections) as the condition permits.

Asthma is not curable but controllable.It must be controlled by regular use of inhalational steroid in children, as the lungs of children are growing lungs, and if left uncontrolled, the lung growth will be hampered .If lungs will not grow properly,body will also not grow properly.

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.
