Q: I have a 10 days old baby and I am breast feeding him. I am 28 years old. Will having fruits such as banana, water melon etc. or even rice and ice cream adversely affect my baby if he is having cold?

A:Having melons, ice creams, will not worsen the cold in your baby, in case you are breast feeding him. Please don't worry. Addendum to the ice cream, etc., please have more citrus fruits. This will help you fight cold yourself.
