Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. How can I supplement calcium for the baby during the postpartum period?Doctor's answer:
If you are exclusively breastfeeding, the mother can supplement with calcium, which is also easily absorbed by the baby. If you are formula-feeding, the formula contains calcium, and you can also buy some Gedi xin or other calcium supplements for the baby. Foods rich in iron include animal liver, lean meat, fish, blood, and egg yolks; plant-based foods like black fungus, soybeans, millet, leafy greens; and seafood such as kelp and nori.Advice:
- Eat more foods that promote iron absorption.
Vitamin C can enhance iron absorption. It is a strong reducing agent that converts dietary iron into absorbable ferrous iron. Fruits and vegetables such as kiwis, oranges, tangerines, and tomatoes are rich in vitamin C.
