Hi
Thanks for your query.

At 18 months she will be given DTP and OPV according to immunization schedule that is followed in XXXXXXX

Till now she might have had BCG, OPV, DPT, measles, Hepatitis B, Hib, rotavirus. First four of these are compulsory according to national immunisation schedule of XXXXXXX while the other three are optional. At 15 month booster for OPV, DPT and Hib will be given. MMR can also be given after 15 month. Typhoid and chicken pox vaccine is given after the age of 2 years.

You may avoid omega 3, 6, 9 in baby food.

Hope it helps.
