Can An Infant Be Given Sucrafil DS And Neogadine Mikros While Breastfeeding?

Dear Sir, my son is two years and 3 months old. I still breast feed him but only at night. He does not eat any food with interest and I have to force him to do so. His weight is 10.2 kg. and height is 88 cms. According to my doctor I must stop breast feeding him and then immediately start these medicines for improving his weight. The medicines are Syp Sucrafil DS 5 ml twice and Syp Neogadine Mikros 5ml twice. Please suggest me whether if these two medications are safe and should I give them after stopping the breast feeding. Can I continue to breast feed him at night or stop. Please advise me.

If you ask me . Its absolutely normal to continue breast feeding. It is advantageous both to you and your baby. his weight should be more than 12 kgs, height is within normal range. Give him Nexpro Granules once daily in morning for 1 month. Syr Cypon 5 ml once daily for 15 days. Both this will his welbeing and appetite. Children love to take tasty foods, so cook any thing you can with good amount of oil and ghee, as they are fat and are very essential in maintaining good weght. try to feed him froim your plate while you are feeding instead of running after him with some tasteless boiled food.
