Patient's question:
I don't have enough milk, and now the baby won't drink formula. He also cries during sleep and has (a bald spot on the head). There are a few circles of hairless areas. When the baby was 3 months old, during a health check-up at the hospital, the doctor told you that our baby was calcium-deficient and needed to take vitamin AD drops. The details of the previous treatment and its effectiveness...Doctor's answer:
While the child is taking calcium supplements, it's also important to digest vitamin D and understand the benefits of sunlight, as this helps in the absorption of calcium. Generally, if the child does not get enough sunlight exposure or if they are artificially fed, they should start taking calcium supplements from the time they are one month old and continue until they are 2 or 3 years old. Before the age of three months, the child is usually digesting cod liver oil, while the mother digests calcium. It is recommended that the child take Icicle and the mother take Calcium Forte D orally. After three months, the child can also digest calcium and cod liver oil in moderation, but be careful not to overdo it.For infants aged 1-6 months, in addition to their diet, they should receive 200 milligrams of calcium and 400 units of vitamin D daily. For infants aged 7-12 months, in addition to their diet, they should receive 300 milligrams of calcium and 400 units of vitamin D daily.
The above advice is for the question, "My appetite is good, but my milk supply is insufficient. Now my baby refuses to drink formula and cries awake during sleep." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
