Ask the Expert: Proteksyon ni Baby Laban sa Ubo't Sipon

Hi mommy! Pagaling po kayo :) Hi mommy! Yes po, continue breastfeeding lang po. Actually quite helpful pa po ito kay baby kasi nakukuha din po nya yung antibodies being produced by your body po to fight off your current condition

Once your baby has difficulty breathing (you can notice po from nasal flaring, bills po ng paghinga depende sa edad), chest indrawing, grunting and O2 sat pf less than 95%. Also very important kung sobrang tamlay na po ng bata at di na po kumakain ng tama.

Hi mommy! Actually, breastfeeding is quite protective po against pneumonia. Theres was even a study po that suggests that breast feeding protects young children against pneumonia, especially in the first months of life and infants who were not breastfed were 17x more likely than those being breast fed without formula milk to be admitted to hospital for pneumonia. So, keep breastfeeding, mommy! :)

No po, it's best to consult your OB soonest possible po.

Hi po, fever is defined as 38.0 and above po. and 37.6-37.9 po ang sinat. In this case po, normal temp naman po si baby :)
