Patient's question:
My child is almost two months old. In recent days, he has had very little deep sleep, is hyperactive, and wakes up easily. I want to supplement some calcium for him, but I don't know what kind of food is best for a child of this age.Doctor's answer:
If breastfeeding, the mother can take more calcium supplements, as long as they are supplied by reputable manufacturers. Don't judge their quality by price; calcium supplements from larger manufacturers are easier to digest. Just give the baby cod liver oil for digestion.If formula-feeding, you can give the baby calcium gluconate with cod liver oil. Also, cod liver oil must not be overconsumed, as it can lead to poisoning. On sunny days, you can let the baby get more sun, which is the most economical and cost-effective way to supplement calcium.
