Patient's question:
My baby is only ten months old and just started teething, and she also has very little hair. The calcium supplements I bought before didn't suit her either. I'd like to ask what foods can help with calcium supplementation? Also, what can help with hair growth?Doctor's answer:
The foods suitable for a 10-month-old child to supplement calcium include calcium-fortified formula milk, soy products such as tofu and soybeans, as well as bone broth, which can be given to the child in appropriate amounts. The dietary method generally takes longer to take effect, especially since infants' digestive systems are not yet well-developed and their ability to digest is limited. Therefore, it is generally recommended to use specialized calcium supplements such as calcium gluconate. At the same time, it is appropriate to consume more cod liver oil to enhance calcium absorption.
