Patient's question:
The child just born doesn't know what's going on, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask when newborns should start taking vitamin D3.Doctor's answer:
Hello, Vitamin D is the main factor in maintaining the body's calcium and phosphorus levels. If a child's blood lacks calcium, it can cause the bone tissue to become soft and lead to rickets. Especially during the developmental period of children, if the bones cannot be fully calcified, combined with the body's own burden, the bones may deform. Providing children with appropriate vitamin D can help calcium from food enter the bloodstream, strengthen bone calcification, and make bones harder, thus preventing and treating rickets. If there is a deficiency in vitamin D, even if calcium-rich foods are consumed, the body cannot absorb and utilize them.
