Question
What should I do if my baby eats a few bites of spoiled watermelon and seems unwell?
Answer
If a baby consumes expired watermelon, it may trigger vomiting and acute gastroenteritis. It is recommended to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as Simethicone, Mommy Love, and pediatric Domperidone syrup. If vomiting is severe, immediate medical attention should be sought. As the baby grows older and their cognitive abilities improve, they may become more interested in external objects, which can lead to distracted feeding. It is suggested that mothers find a quiet corner while breastfeeding to avoid strong light, which can help the baby concentrate on feeding.
