Patient's question:
My baby is almost a month old and showing signs of calcium deficiency. I want to supplement some calcium, but I don't know which brand is good. Can I also give some cod liver oil while supplementing calcium?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to start supplementing your baby with nutrients one month after birth. For long-term use, choose a nutrition-based supplement. If your baby frequently gets sun exposure, you can take it every other day. If a trace element check reveals that your baby is calcium-deficient, it is advisable to choose Longmu Zhuanggu Zongji or Calcium Gluconate Oral Solution for this age group. Additionally, you should take fish oil orally, such as Ikunxin. On sunny days, you can take your baby out for more sun exposure. At four months of age, it is important to add complementary foods promptly and conduct regular trace element checks to monitor the effectiveness of the supplementation.
