Brief Answer:
No need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi, XXXX, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Sinarest AF drops contain Pheniramine and chlorpheniramine maleate which are antihistaminic drugs given in cold to relieve the symptoms. Its dosage for babies of less than 6 months is 0.2 ml. One drop from the pediatric dropper contains amount of drug very less than even 0.1 ml.So, you need not worry so much as it will not harm the baby if only 2 extra drops were given and baby is feeding and behaving normally. However, baby may sleep a bit more than usual because these drugs cause a little sedation. Further drug should be given to the prescribed dosage.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get back for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards,

Brief Answer:
no need to worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Babies do not develop grasping skill and rolling over skill at one month of age. So, it is not possible that your baby could pick and take anything to his mouth.
Moreover, if your baby is fine, you need not worry.

Brief Answer:
Initial few months are stressful

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Babies do not develop a proper sleep cycle unless they are4-6 months of age. They tend to sleep frequently for 1-2 hours, but do not sleep continously for long hours.
The sleep pattern of the babies makes the initial few months very stressful for the new mothers.
To catch up with your sleep, try to take rest and sleep whenever your baby sleeps.
Do not expect a long sound sleep until he is 4-6 months of age.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Brief Answer:
Keep yourself stress free

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Babies do take frequent feeds, and if they are not full, they will cry if you detach them from the breast. It is a bit stressful in initial few months of delivery to cope up with frequent breast feeding, less sleep and weakness. However, this is the time when you will form a strong bond with your baby, so enjoy this time, and take the help of other family members to assist you.
It is advisable to not to use XXXXXXX phones near the baby, as the waves emitting from them are found to be harmful for the baby in various studies.
You can read books, watch old and new movies on laptop or television while breastfeeding to relieve stress and to keep yourself engaged.
Hope you found the answer helpful. Please do get for further queries.
Wishing you good health.
