List of Vaccines for 18 Months Old Baby
Vaccinations prevent numerous preventable diseases and are non-negotiable for your little one’s best interests. Keep your little one protecting by following the right immunisation schedule for your 18-month-old.
Important Vaccinations Required for 18 Months Old Baby
One of the most important vaccines for 18-month-old babies is the Hepatitis A vaccine.
Hepatitis A (Hep – A2)
The Hep A2 paediatric vaccine is employed to prevent Hepatitis A in children.
1. Prevents Your Child From
The vaccine prevents Hepatitis A, which is a dangerous viral disease spread through contaminated food and water. It can cause liver inflammation, jaundice, and vomiting. Further, it can cause cancer or cirrhosis of the liver, which can be fatal.
2. Dosage
The Hepatitis A vaccine is intramuscular, that is, it is delivered via an injection deep into the muscle tissue. It is administered in two doses.
Previous
The first dose is administered between the age of twelve and twenty-three months.
Next
The second and final dose is given when the child is between two and three years old, ideally six months after the first shot.
3. Precautions to Take
Here is a list of precautions you should consider before your child gets the Hepatitis A vaccine:
If your child experiences an extreme allergic reaction after receiving the first dose of the vaccine, they should not be given another.
Children allergic to phenoxyethanol or aluminium hydroxide should not take this vaccine, as these chemicals are used in its preparation.
If your child is ill, wait until they recover before giving them the vaccine.
4. Are There Any Side Effects?
The side-effects of the Hepatitis A vaccine in 18 months old babies include:
Drowsiness and fainting
Fussy behaviour
Constant crying
High-temperature fever
Nausea and headaches
Swelling and rash
5. Cost of The Vaccination
The Hepatitis A vaccine costs around Rs. 1400.
6. What If You Miss the Vaccination?
Please remember to give your child all their doses of the vaccine. If you happen to miss a dose, please contact your child’s paediatrician for advice as soon as possible.
7. How to Take Care After The Vaccination?
Consult your doctor to see if you can give either paracetamol or ibuprofen for any fever and pain symptoms.
Please remember to inform your doctor of your child’s medical history, including any drugs or treatments they are on. This will help the doctor decide to delay the Hepatitis A vaccine if necessary. However, vaccines are essential for your child’s health, and under no circumstances must you avoid getting them all the recommended vaccines.

Taking Epsom Salt Bath during Pregnancy
Epsom salt is known for relaxing muscles, improving digestion and soothing the skin. It can help pregnant women in multiple ways. Let us see a few ways in which Epsom salt can help you sail through your pregnancy with ease.
What is Epsom Salt?
Epsom salt is a mineral inorganic salt called magnesium sulfate, which despite being called a 'salt', does not contain any sodium chloride. Being discovered in the town of Epsom in England led to it being called Epsom salt. It can help cure any magnesium deficiency in pregnant women and can also reduce stress, help treat preeclampsia and haemorrhoids during pregnancy.
How to Use Epsom Salt While Pregnant?
Many of you may be asking, ‘Can I bathe in Epsom salt while pregnant?’ The answer is yes, you can. If you are pregnant, you might find it extremely beneficial to soak in water containing Epsom salt. Since it dissolves instantly, using it in baths is the best way as it relaxes sore muscles. The correct way to use it is to add 2 cups of Epsom salt to the water in your bathtub, get in and soak for around 15 minutes. Make sure the water is lukewarm, as soaking in hot water may be dangerous for the baby in your belly.
Benefits of Taking Epsom Salt Baths in Pregnancy
Bathing in Epsom salt can help you flush out any and all toxins from your body. There are many benefits associated with taking a bath with Epsom salts. Let's look at a few below.
1. To Reduce Swelling
Epsom salt is anti-inflammatory, and the magnesium sulfate it contains helps increase your blood circulation and reduce any build-up of fluid in your body, such as any pregnancy swelling. During pregnancy, swelling happens usually in the feet so an Epsom salt foot soak can help reduce it.
2. To Soothe Your Muscles
When you soak in a tub which has Epsom salt, it can pass through your skin and help soothe your muscles and reduce joint or back pain, which many pregnant women usually experience. It will be a much-needed relief for you.
3. Improves Skin
During pregnancy, your skin can get stretched to accommodate the growing baby in your belly. Bathing with Epsom salt can restore and exfoliate your skin greatly, soothing the stretches and improving the appearance. Stretching also causes itching around your tummy and joints, which Epsom salt can relieve.
4. Treats Hemorrhoids
Epsom salt has great anti-inflammatory properties. An Epsom salt bath for haemorrhoids during pregnancy has a detoxifying effect as it helps to relax the anal area and remove toxins from the sphincter, leading to overall relief. Pregnant women with haemorrhoids will feel better after taking a bath with Epsom salt.
5. Helps Improve Digestion and Constipation
Epsom salt increases water in the intestine and helps clean any faecal matter present. It reduces bloating which is a common occurrence in pregnant women and replenishes magnesium in your body. Do not ingest it as it may not be safe, but you can bathe in an Epsom salt bath as it can readily pass through the skin.
6. Ease Constipation
Soaking in Epsom salt for constipation during pregnancy can also relieve the condition as it acts as a laxative. This means that it helps to regulate bowel movement in pregnant women.
7. Helps Treat Preeclampsia
If you are pregnant and suffering from preeclampsia, then studies have shown that exposure to Epsom salt can help reduce the risks associated with this condition by about 15%. It is worth a try as preeclampsia, though rare, is a life-threatening condition.
8. Cures Morning Sickness
Epsom salt contains a large proportion of magnesium which is known to reduce any nausea experienced during pregnancy.
9. Uplifts Mood
When you are pregnant, your hormonal levels are constantly changing as your body accommodates to supply nutrition to the baby inside of you. This can cause you to experience mood swings which are not good for you or your baby. Bathing with Epsom salt can improve your mood and make you feel lighter.
10. Reduces Stress
When you are pregnant, you need to be of a cool and peaceful mind. Soak in a hot tub containing Epsom salt, and your stress will melt away as it increases the level of serotonin in your blood, which allows you to sleep better and be happier.
11. Prevents Early Labour
The magnesium sulfate in Epsom salt can help prevent any early contractions which would otherwise send you into preterm labour, by reducing levels of calcium in the uterus muscles.
How to Prepare an Epsom Salt Bath?
This depends on what you want to fix in your body, whether it is your mood or muscles or something else, but you can either add Epsom salt to your bathwater in the tub or soak your feet in it.
Fill your bathtub with lukewarm or warm water (make sure it is not very hot) and add 2 cups of Epsom salt.
Once it dissolves, soak your body in the tub for around 12-15 minutes.
You can add baking soda or apple cider vinegar if you want relief from a vaginal yeast infection or hives.
Precautions While Taking an Epsom Salt Bath When Pregnant
Though it sounds like a remarkably simple process, there are a few precautions that have to be observed before taking an Epsom salt water bath.
First, make absolutely sure that the temperature of the water in your tub is not beyond 100 degrees Fahrenheit and very hot water can be dangerous both for you and the baby in your tummy.
Do not add any aromatic oils like eucalyptus or lavender to your Epsom salt bath as it is generally not recommended due to safety reasons.
Consult a doctor just to be sure before using Epsom salt a liberal number of times. In rare cases, it may have a negative effect on pregnant women who have heart or kidney problems.
Never drink it or inject it into your body by force. In rare cases, magnesium poisoning can happen.
Are There Any Risks of Using Epsom Salt for Pregnant Women?
Many people may use Epsom salt for all the above purposes as it is easily available and not very expensive. But always consult a doctor first before you start using it before getting pregnant or when you are pregnant. Especially if you plan to use Epsom salt in your bath more than once or twice. In rare cases, it may have a negative effect on pregnant women who have heart or kidney problems. Epsom salts take away fluid from the intestines and shift them to other body parts. While this regulates bowel movement, it can also cause cramping in the intestines and contractions which can lead to pregnancy complications. More so in the case, if you have a miscarriage history.
Can You Consume Epsom Salt During Pregnancy?
Drinking Epsom salt while pregnant is dangerous. Never drink it or inject it into your body by force. In rare cases, magnesium poisoning can happen. Use it only to mix in your baths.
Conclusion: Epsom salt baths can provide much-needed relief for pregnant women by easing their joint pains, itches and other irritating pregnancy symptoms. So if you are pregnant, go ahead and take a nice long Epsom salt soak!
