Patient's question:
My baby is five months old. My husband bought her Twinlab Children's Fish Liver Oil and New Zealand Milk Calcium Powder. Do you think it's necessary to take them? What kind of assistance do you need: Is it necessary to give the baby many brain-nourishing supplements, such as those containing DHA?Doctor's answer:
You can supplement calcium from birth. Taking calcium is like having dinner, don't lack it. Even if he doesn't need it, the worst that can happen is that it gets excreted. In that case, your only loss is a bit of calcium-rich food. If the child really lacks calcium, the loss will be much greater, as it will hinder the child's growth and development. It's okay to supplement, but don't do it too hastily. A little bit every day is enough. Stick with it, and your baby will definitely grow up healthily. In addition, pay attention to whether the child is lacking in zinc. Zinc and calcium are both trace elements that are easily deficient in children.
