Patient's question:
There's a bit of eczema. The baby's mom ate a little seafood at night, unsure if it might cause a similar allergy. Because she has to take the baby for the sugar tomorrow, she's wondering if it will be affected. Can she still breastfeed tonight? Since her milk supply is low, the baby mostly drinks formula, and she usually feeds them once during the night with breast milk. If the baby is allergic to seafood, will it affect the sugar? She forgot and ate some lobster tails, but only 4, and realized quickly—very small lobster tails. Thank you!Past treatment and effectiveness: About half a month ago, many small red spots appeared, and the doctor said it was allergic eczema, but she doesn't know what caused the allergy. Now the eczema has mostly improved, with only a little bit of bumps left.
What kind of help is needed: If the baby is allergic to seafood, will it interfere with the sugar on the third day? Can she still breastfeed tonight?
Doctor's answer:
Mom usually does not experience allergic symptoms again after eating seafood, and she also eats very little. However, considering the baby's condition tonight, it is best not to feed this breast milk. You can express the milk completely.Medical advice: The adverse reactions to polio vaccine are usually nausea and vomiting. You can give it to the baby orally tomorrow. It is recommended to use cooler water to administer it, as it is a live vaccine and hot water can easily deactivate it. After oral administration, it is best not to feed the baby for at least one hour. Wishing the baby healthy growth.
