❌ Nahi. Bilkul mat dijiye. 28 din ke bacche ko kasturi ki goli, hing-suhaga dena unsafe hota hai. Ye cheezein zehreeli ho sakti hain, bacche ke liver, saans aur dimaag ko nuksaan pahucha sakti hain—chahe badi-budi aurtein recommend karein. - Pet me gas/rona common hota hai is age me. kasturi goli me aise strong chemical compounds hote hain jo 28 din ke bacche ka sharir handle nahi kar paata. Isme kya nuksaan hai: - Bacche ka liver aur gut immature hota hai → zehar jaisa effect ho sakta hai - Saans ki problem, neend zyada aana, ya fit/seizure ka risk - Desi goli/suhaga me aksar heavy metals, alcohol, ya afeem jaise harmful mix hote hain - Brain development pe bhi bura asar pad sakta hai bache ko sirf dena h- - Sirf maa ka doodh / formula (doctor ke bataye hisaab se) - Burping achhi tarah - Tummy massage (halka) - Agar zyada problem ho to pediatrician se consult karein.

Aapne bahut sahi socha ki pehle confirm karein 🙏. 28 din ke bacche ko kasturi ki goli, hing, suhaga ya koi bhi aisi Ayurvedic/ghar ki dawa dena bilkul surakshit nahi hai. Kyun nahi dena chahiye: - Naya janma hua baccha ka liver aur kidney abhi fully develop nahi hote, isliye herbs, minerals ya strong medicines unke liye risk ban sakte hain. - Hing aur suhaga jaise padarth bacchon ke liye irritant ho sakte hain, aur unse pet mein jalan, loose motions, ya breathing problem ho sakti hai. - Kasturi ki goli mein kabhi kabhi strong herbal/mineral ingredients hote hain jo newborn ke liye unsafe hote hain. Safe approach: - Agar bacche ko gas, colic, indigestion ho raha hai, to sabse pehle pediatrician ko dikhaiye. Bacche ke liye sabse surakshit upaay: - Burping har feed ke baad. - Bacche ko seedha aur thoda upright position mein rakhna feed ke baad. - Agar formula milk use kar rahe hain to doctor se confirm karein ki wo bacche ke liye sahi hai. - Breastfeeding mother apni diet mein zyada spicy, oily cheezon ko kam karein. Warm Regards DR. ANJALI SEHRAWAT

Hello I’m so glad you trusted your gut! Giving Kasturi or Hing-Suhaga to a tiny baby like yours (28 days old) is a bad idea. Elder might suggest it because of old beliefs, but these days, both Ayurveda experts and baby doctors say it’s risky for newborns. YOUR CONCERN WITH YOUR BABY: – Baby’s just 28 days old. –Gassy, cries a lot, tummy seems uncomfortable. –Family’s saying Kasturi goli / Hing-Suhaga will help. –You’re not sure about it (and you’re right to be!). WHAT AYURVEDA ACTUALLY SAYS A newborn’s tummy is super sensitive. Kasturi and Hing-Suhaga are: * Really strong and heating * Can mess with their insides and nerves For tiny babies, they might cause * Tummy burning * Diarrhea * Not enough fluids * Trouble breathing * Nervousness * Even be toxic That’s why old Ayurveda books don’t say to use Kasturi or Hing-Suhaga on newborns. WHY THE GAS? Around 3–4 weeks: * Baby’s stomach is still learning to digest stuff. * Mixing breastmilk and formula can make gas worse. * Swallowing air makes their tummy hurt. It’s just normal colic, not a sickness. WHAT YOU CAN DO (THE SAFE WAY): 1. Best thing = breastmilk. Skip too much formula if you can. 2. Feed them right: Burp the baby every 5–10 minutes & hold them upright after feeding. 3. Gentle massage: Rub their tummy the right way (clockwise) with warm sesame oil. 4. If they’re crying a lot: Gripe water (for babies) or Simethicone drops from the doctor can help. SERIOUSLY IMPORTANT: If your baby: * Vomits * Has green stool * Has a fever * Won’t eat * Keeps crying → GO TO THE DOCTOR NOW. IN SHORT NO Kasturi goli NO Hing-Suhaga They can really hurt your baby. You’re a great, caring parent. Trust what you think is best Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

HELLO, Aapka doubt bilkul sahi aur bahut important hai. 
 28 din ke bachche ko Kasturi goli ya Hing Suhaga dena safe nahi hai Kyun nahi dena chahiye: 1. Newborn (0–3 mahine) ka digestive system bahut immature hota hai
– woh sirf maa ka doodh / formula hi theek se pacha sakta hai. 2. Kasturi goli -Isme kai strong ingredients hote hain -Dose fix nahi hoti -Newborn me saans, liver, brain par bura asar pad sakta hai 3. Hing Suhaga -Hing bhi strong hoti hai —Suhaga (borax) zehreela ho sakta hai agar galat matra me chala jaye -Baby me vomiting, loose motion, dehydration ka risk hota hai Isliye badi-budi aurton ke kehne par bhi yeh dena avoid karein. Aapka instinct bilkul sahi hai. Baby ko gas / discomfort kyun hoti hai? Aapne bataya hai ki baby ko frequently discomfort hota hai, to common reasons ho sakte hain: -Feeding ke baad proper burping na hona -Formula aur breastfeed mix hone par gas -Overfeeding -Normal infant colic (bahut common hai) Safe kya kar sakte hain (Newborn ke liye): -Har feed ke baad achha burp karwayein -Feed ke baad baby ko 10–15 min seedha rakhein -Agar formula de rahe hain to quantity & dilution sahi ho -Doctor ki salah se agar zarurat ho to simethicone drops jaise safe medicines Koi bhi desi ya ayurvedic cheez bina pediatrician ke mat dein, chahe woh natural hi kyun na ho. DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Aap bilkul sahi mehsoos kar rahi hain 28 din ke bacche ko kasturi ki goli ya hing suhaga dena bilkul safe nahi hai itni choti umar me baby ka pachan tantra bahut sensitive hota hai aur aise strong substances dena bahut risky ho sakta hai jaise ki pet me jalan vomiting ya kabhi kabhi serious complications bhi ho sakte hain Agar baby ko gas ya digestion ki problem lagti hai to sabse pehle feeding schedule regular rakhen breastmilk ya formula ka proper intake ho Feeding ke baad baby ko dhyan se burp karayen taki hawa nikal jaye aur agar constipation ya gas lagti hai to pediatrician se safe glycerin suppository ya doctor recommended drops ka hi use karein Kabhi bhi kasturi hing suhaga honey ya herbal goli newborn ko na den Aapki badi budi ki advice purani practice hai lekin modern pediatric aur ayurvedic guidelines ke hisaab se ye newborn ke liye safe nahi hai Agar aap chahen to main aapko newborn ke liye safe ayurvedic digestion support bata sakti hoon jo 1 mahine ke baby ke liye bilkul safe ho aur baby ke pet ki problem ko naturally aur gently solve karega Ye tarika safe aur effective hai aur baby ko unnecessary risk se bachata hai
