HI, My daughter is 5months old. Her weight is just 6.5kg. It s the correct one. In one day, giving two times of cerelac[3 tablespoon] and also giving Lactogen Stage one[6 tablespoon per day]. Night time breastfeeding? Is the enough one for the 5months old baby? Some time, my baby is difficult to breathe.My mother-in law having asthma disease. It will affect my baby.

Hi, 6.5 kg for a 5 month old child is completely normal. The amount of feeding that is being given is also correct. Mother feed is bvest till the age of 6 months of age. Pneumococcal vaccine prevents infection from Pneumococcus and does not prevent respiratory problems due to other causes like Childhood Asthama, other respiratory infections or bronchiolitis or WALRI. The vaccine is still recommended in children as it has a good prevention rate.
Keep good hygiene and prevent the child from excessive cold conditions.
Thanks and regards.
