Patient's question:
Buy calcium and zinc supplements at the hospital. I also heard that newborn babies need to take cod liver oil. What kind of help do you need: Is it necessary to supplement? I don't want to randomly supplement things for the child.Doctor's answer:
Generally, if the baby does not get enough sunlight or has limited exposure to it, or if the baby is artificially fed, they should start taking vitamin D supplements from the full moon. It is recommended to continue taking them until the age of 2 or 3. Otherwise, they are likely to be deficient.Before the age of 3 months, children are usually given AD calcium supplements. They should be taken when the child is semi-empty. It is recommended that the mother digest calcium by taking Caltrate D orally, which enhances the calcium content in breast milk. Generally, the child does not need additional calcium supplementation.
