Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. What should a ten-month-old child eat to boost brain development?Doctor's answer:
The substances that play a significant role in brain growth and development mainly include the following 8 types: fat, calcium, vitamin C, sugar, protein, B vitamins, vitamin A, and vitamin E. Therefore, foods rich in these 8 substances can be considered brain-healthy foods.If a child cries or has difficulty sleeping, it is necessary to identify the cause by observing whether there is redness or swelling around the anus, or symptoms such as bad breath and drooling. The reason may be an oral infection, such as thrush or stomatitis. If these symptoms are absent, it should be considered a calcium deficiency. In such cases, supplementing with calcium would be appropriate.
