Patient's question:
My baby is 11 months and 4 days old, a very mischievous little girl. She mostly crawls on the bed, even when held in an adult's arms, she keeps turning around. Occasionally, she'll be calm and look at books, enjoying children's songs. She currently weighs 20 pounds and is 74 centimeters tall. However, so far, she hasn't stood steadily yet. According to the books, babies of this age should already be able to stand independently. I only give her fish oil and take her out for 1 hour of sun exposure each day. She does well with milk and complementary foods, but I haven't supplemented her with calcium. So, I'd like to ask if this could be due to a calcium deficiency (she doesn't show any other symptoms of calcium deficiency). Is it really necessary for her to take calcium supplements? Foods containDoctor's answer:
Hello! According to your description, it is possible that the baby may appear unsteady when standing due to reasons such as wearing too many clothes because of the cold or the baby being overly obese.Suggestions: It is recommended that you do not hurry and can also wait until the baby is one year older to have a routine check-up, during which other relevant tests can be conducted to confirm the diagnosis.
The above is the advice for the question "Baby is almost eleven months old and unsteady when standing." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
