Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has had a series of issues, and I am very concerned, fearing that the child's condition may worsen. May I ask if a 1.5-month-old baby can eat Xinhibao?Doctor's answer:
Babies with zinc deficiency may experience poor appetite, picky eating, food aversion, yellow and sparse hair. Zinc deficiency affects brain development in babies, so supplementation is necessary. You can take some zinc gluconate oral solution and eat some dried fruit. For children, they can eat more seafood, such as oysters and shrimp, and consume more bananas, onions, and dried fruits/nuts, which are all good for zinc supplementation.
