Patient's question:
My baby was born as a premature infant at 30+6 weeks, with a cracked base of the right base. The hospital prescribed Lysine B12 to be taken three times a day. At 54 days, the baby went to the growth and development outpatient clinic for a thorough check-up. The doctor noticed some signs of anemia in the baby's complexion and prescribed Qi-boosting oral liquid and Lactoferrin Whey from Yibeian. In addition to DHA and vitamin D, I also give my baby fish liver oil for digestion. I'm unsure if taking all these supplements together is good for the baby or if there's a risk of over-supplementation.Previous Treatment and Effects: The baby is being fed with premature infant formula and breast milk, with formula as the primary source.
Concerns:
- Is it safe for the baby to take all these supplements together?
- Is there a risk of over-supplementation?
- What is the appropriate daily dosage of DHA?
- Do I need to add any additional digestive supplements?
Doctor's answer:
According to your explanation, the child is a premature baby and has intracranial hemorrhage. 1. Lysine B12 nutrition for brain cells can be taken for several months with persistence. 2. Full-term infants begin to digest vitamin AD after 14 days of birth and continue until 18 months; calcium supplements such as gluconate calcium oral solution, Gede Xin, etc., are digested intermittently. Premature infants should digest vitamin AD and calcium supplements early. 3. Digest iron supplements, folic acid, and vitamin E as early as possible, allowing the baby to safely pass through the physiological anemia period at 2-3 months.
