Patient's question:
I don't have enough milk, and now the baby doesn't want to 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 for a health check-up at the hospital, the doctor told you that our baby was calcium-deficient and needed to supplement with vitamin AD drops. The details of the previous treatment and its effectiveness...Doctor's answer:
When the child is supplementing with calcium, it's also good to digest vitamin D and understand the importance of sunlight better, as this helps in the absorption of calcium. Generally, if the child does not get enough sunlight or has limited exposure, or if the child is artificially fed, calcium supplementation should start from the full moon stage and is recommended to continue until the age of 2 or 3. Before the age of 3 months, the child is usually digesting cod liver oil, while the mother digests calcium. It is recommended that the child take Ekenin orally and the mother take Caltrate D orally. After 3 months, the child can also digest calcium and cod liver oil appropriately, but do not overdo it.For infants aged 1-6 months, in addition to food, they should supplement with 200 milligrams of calcium and 400 units of vitamin D daily. For infants aged 7-12 months, in addition to food, they should supplement with 300 milligrams of calcium and 400 units of vitamin D daily.
The above suggestions are for the question "My appetite is good, but my milk supply is insufficient now. The baby doesn't drink formula milk and wakes up crying during sleep." It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
