When is the best time to give babies zinc supplements?

Patient's question:

I don't know if he has this condition, and his mental state isn't good either. When is the best time to give the baby zinc supplements?

Doctor's answer:

Hello. Supplementing with zinc during the day and calcium at night is most beneficial for absorption. The best time to take zinc is before lunch at noon. It's preferable to use protein zinc, which has fewer side effects and better absorption. Feed every four hours, with each feeding amounting to 200~250 milliliters. Gradually transition from four feedings a day to three, starting with replacing half a meal with complementary foods and eventually replacing one full meal with milk. Gradually reduce the sugar content.
