Patient's question:
My baby is more than 3 months old. He eats and takes vitamin AD. Do I need to supplement one pill every day? I saw online that it's enough to supplement for 2 months, otherwise it can cause poisoning,... is this true? Besides, we are exclusively breastfeeding and have been taking Longdi Calcium for a month. Do we still need to focus on supplementation?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that children take one calcium supplement daily for half a month to 6 months, or even up to a year, as they grow quite rapidly during this period. Diqiao Calcium can also be taken. For infants under 1 year old, take 1 capsule daily (Vitamin A 1500 IU, Vitamin D 2500 IU). For children over 1 year old, take 1 capsule daily (Vitamin A 2000 IU, Vitamin D 2700 IU). Take as prescribed, with no adverse reactions.
