Around 28 degrees Celsius is okay, right? And when should the baby start taking calcium supplements? ??Doctor's answer:
The key during lactation is to maintain a balanced diet. Consume a variety of staple foods, meats, eggs, vegetables, and fruits to ensure comprehensive nutrition for your baby. Drink plenty of water and avoid excessive intake of sugar, high-calorie, and high-fat foods. Overeating can lead to obesity in your baby and hinder brain development.Pay attention to consuming more calcium-rich foods such as fish, shrimp, kelp, and soy products. Additionally, mothers should get adequate sunlight exposure, which aids in calcium absorption. Breastfeeding mothers generally do not need to supplement calcium if they consume it appropriately. If you are still concerned, taking some cod liver oil is sufficient.
If your milk supply is low, drink more water and soups. Typically, you can make some light and simple carp soup. Eating fresh foods will help improve your milk quality.
For babies, a room temperature of around 25°C is ideal. Avoid extremes in temperature, as they can make your baby uncomfortable. A normal room temperature is usually sufficient. For breastfed babies, calcium supplementation is recommended after three months. For mixed or formula-fed babies, it is advised to start calcium supplementation after one month.
0-6-month-old babies need 300mg of calcium per day, 6-12 months need 400mg per day, and 1-3-year-olds need 600mg per day, with increasing calcium requirements as the baby grows. Make sure your baby gets plenty of sunlight exposure. While supplementing calcium, it is also recommended to take vitamin D to enhance calcium absorption.
Wishing your baby healthy growth!
