Patient's question:
I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. Is it okay for the baby to add soy sauce to porridge?Doctor's answer:
Hello, eating soy sauce porridge frequently can be harmful. First, it lacks nutrients and affects the body's normal needs. Second, it is not good for the stomach and intestines. Don't eat this way; you should have a light diet.The condition of your baby might be caused by calcium deficiency. Children with calcium deficiency often have low abdominal and visceral muscle tone, leading to a bulging abdomen like a frog's belly (big belly). Therefore, it is important to supplement calcium for your baby.
Your baby currently needs to take fish oil (1 capsule every other day if outdoor activities are sufficient), and also supplement about 400mg of calcium daily. Calcium carbonate is the best choice due to its high calcium content and good absorption.
Take your baby outdoors more often and let them bask in the sun (avoid going out during the hours of 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. when the sun is strongest), which can promote the baby's own synthesis of vitamin D and enhance calcium absorption.
