Dr Tengku Putri Child Specialist

05/01/2026

As we step into 2026, I want to take this opportunity to properly introduce myself — I am Dr Putri-a Mum, Paediatrician and IBCLC.👋🫶

Despite juggling multiple hats, I choose to share knowledge and experience not only through my clinic, but also via social media and educational talks, to reach more parents.

This is my space to guide, reassure, and empower families — welcome, and start here with me 💕

As a Paediatrician, day by day I often meet parents who are :
🤔Unsure whether what they’re doing is right
😩Overwhelmed with information
😵‍💫Confused from different advice received
😔Afraid of being judged
😥Worry quietly with ‘simple’ quiestions.

I get it and you’re not alone.💜

I know that as a parent, you love your child deeply and just want the best for your child.🌈

✅This page is for you—to learn, to feel reassured, to make informed decisions for your child without fear, judgement or information overload. I try my best to keep my posts simple, clear and evidence-based. That’s always the goal.🙌

Happy New Year!🎉

Here’s to raising healthier, happier kids together in 2026! 🌈💫

RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) can be DANGEROUS in babies 👶🫁
RSV is one of the leading causes of hospitalisation in children below 2 years old in Malaysia.

What’s worrying? Many babies who become seriously ill were previously HEALTHY, not premature, and had no underlying medical conditions.

How do we usually prevent RSV?

✔️ Frequent handwashing
✔️ Cleaning toys and surfaces
✔️ Avoiding close contact with unwell individuals

‼️ BUT did you know — there is now an RSV immunisation for babies available in Malaysia?

🛡️ RSV Protection for Babies: What parents should know

💉 It is called Nirsevimab (Beyfortus)
💉 It provides READY-MADE antibodies — so it is NOT a vaccine
💉 This means immediate protection (passive immunity)
💉 Works fast: protection begins within 1–7 days
💉 Antibodies act like a shield 🛡️, blocking RSV from entering cells
💉 One dose protects for up to 6 months
💉 Indicated for babies under 2 years old
💉 Well-tolerated in clinical trials
💉 Shown to reduce RSV infection, hospitalisation, and emergency visits
💉 For PREVENTION, not treatment

💲 What about the price?

Yes, it is expensive — RM2000+ per dose 😱
Why?
🔹 It is monoclonal antibodies, not a traditional vaccine
🔹 Complex and costly research & production
🔹 Still more effective and less burdensome than older options like monthly palivizumab injections

❓So what do you think — is it worth it?

P/S: 📌 Important extra info (many parents don’t know this!)

There is also an RSV vaccine for pregnant mothers — Abrysvo
🤰 Given in the 3rd trimester
🩸 Antibodies cross the placenta and help protect newborns after birth
