Baby-Safe Pain Medicine While Breastfeeding
Remember to read what is on the boxes of all medication. Most medicines will indicate whether or not it is safe for pregnant and/or nursing mothers. Also remember to always consult your doctor before taking any medication or continuing a medication. Your doctor will be the best person to prescribe the right medicine and the right protocols that are safe for you and your baby.

Overcoming fears is a challenge every person faces at least once in their lifetimes. For many of the frontliners of the Novel CoronaVirus, or COVID-19, it is a daily occurrence. Everyday, doctors are waking up with fear–fear for themselves, fear for their patients, fear for their families, fear for the world–and everyday they overcome those fears and get to work.

In the fight against COVID-19, however, frontliners find that seeking that balance is harder than ever because their work now has direct–and potentially dire–consequences to their life.
Despite the seriousness of this, however, Dr. Abigail Zaraspe, who practices Internal Medicine-Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine at the Makati Medical Center, manages to keep things light.
Mom Spotlight: Karen Lamorena-Realo, MD.
A “frontliner” in the fight against Coronavirus, or COVID-19, Doc Karen made the decision to send her daughter to her family’s province to go and live with her parents and grandparents while she stayed in Manila with her husband to fulfill her duty as a medical professional.
Mom Spotlight: Cricket Manotok-Santiago, MD.
It’s experiences like these that she knows have changed her forever. Manotok-Santiago discovered her ability to be truly brave, to defy her fears and fight a silent and invisible opponent. It was in being a frontliner that she realised how much she loves her job, and rediscovered her purpose and responsibility as a doctor and a mother.
