Answer
Hi
You are right that your baby doesn’t need water or any other foods – just the formula milk.
Now you have change to this it will be better.
Your son is likely to be fine now, but it is also good for your doctor and nurse to advise you on this.
Congratulations on your new son too.
Dear Patricia, please contact your doctor or clinic with this question. i-Base don’t have enough information about your situation. Any medicine prescribed by the doctor needs to be for the time they gave this for. Medicine dosing and timing are not linked to breastfeeding. Best wishes – and congratulations on your new baby.
Hi ive stopped giving my baby breastmilk she is now on formula does she need to be taking nevirapine syrup still?
Hi Brenda,
ilvitrim is an antibiotic, it’s not an ARV. The best thing to do is to ask your child’s doctor.
Hi am hiv + my baby she’s 7 weeks old and I recently stopped breastfeeding her and started with formula should I stop giving her ilvitrim
Hi,
It’s unlikely that warm fish oil will have an interaction with your babies ARVs. However, if your child is having tummy issues, if this is problem you should take them to the doctor, not given them something that isn’t connected to science.
Hi my baby is 2 weeks old and she has a tummy problem and my mom advised me to give her warm fish oil won’t it wash away the nevarapine that am giving her in the mornings
Hi Anelisa,
If your baby doesn’t like the formal that she’s being given, yes you can change.
Can I change my baby a formula to another formula will it affect her cos this one I’m using is not treating her good
Hi Bongie,
If formula is easier, then yes you can change to formula. The important thing is that you don’t mixfeed, so breastmilk and formula.
