Calcium and Zinc Oral Liquid, can a baby drink it for 40 days?

Patient's question:

Can a 40-day-old baby drink Harbin Six Brand Calcium and Zinc Oral Liquid? How much should they drink at one time? The baby sweats behind the neck and on the palms. Is it a calcium deficiency? Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.

Doctor's answer:

According to the materials you purchased, it is best not to give the child calcium and zinc supplements. At about 40 days, the baby's gastrointestinal digestion and absorption function is relatively weak, and calcium and zinc are not suitable for babies under six months. Personally, I recommend not giving the child any supplements. The child's tendency to sweat is likely due to a lack of vitamin D. A lack of vitamin D can lead to high nervous and muscle excitability in children, which is clinically manifested as easily waking up during naps, sweating, and other symptoms. Personally, I suggest you wait until the child is two months old before giving them many vitamin preparations.
