Patient's question:
5 months, weight 16 jin, breastfed. Nearly 1 month, after eating well at night, the baby hesitates to fall asleep, wanting to play, be held, and be comforted. Usually, they fall asleep around 10 PM or 11 PM. They nurse 2-3 times during the night without fuss. They sleep well during naps. Initially, we thought they were sleeping too much during the day, but there have been many instances where they slept less during the day, yet still didn't fall asleep until 10 PM or 11 PM. During a health check, it was found that the baby has moderate calcium deficiency. My baby has lactose intolerance and frequently experiences nausea and vomiting. The doctor said as long as the baby is willing to eat, sleep, and grow, that's fine. Since the baby has been growing well, we have been enduring the breastfeeding. However, every time they take Icicle Fish Liver Oil, they experience severe nausea and vomiting. Online, it was said that fish liver oil can cause diarrhea, so we stopped taking it and just the mother takes calcium supplements.About 1 month ago, the baby's calcium deficiency and lactose intolerance treatment and effectiveness: The doctor prescribed Yingkang Ganlivi Ding Rong, to be taken for 1 month at 6 ml, combined with taking Hanchenshi Calcium. I searched for Hanchenshi online and found some negative reviews, so I didn't give it to the baby. I read in a book about a vitamin D gel pill that can be taken once a month, but I don't know if it's safe to give to the baby.
What assistance is needed: The baby is 3 months old with moderate calcium deficiency, and taking Icicle Fish Liver Oil causes nausea and vomiting. How should they supplement calcium? It's winter now, and it's not practical to go out every day to get sunlight. Is it effective to get sunlight at home through a window? The baby has lactose intolerance and experiences nausea and vomiting when breastfeeding, but their weight, height, and head circumference are all increasing. Breast milk is sufficient, but what should we do? Can a 3-month-old baby eat rice soup? It's said that rice soup can reduce nausea and vomiting. We occasionally give the baby (Baierbaoyile), but their stools are very dry. What should we do?
Doctor's answer:
First, seafood contains a high amount of calcium. Examples include fish (it's best to eat them with bones), shrimp shells, dried shrimp, kelp, and nori, all of which are rich in calcium and are easily digested by the human body.Soy products are also excellent calcium supplements. Examples include soy milk, soy flour, tofu, and bean curd. They are affordable, easy to prepare, and convenient to eat.
Dairy products are now widely understood by people. Examples include fresh milk, yogurt, and cheese, all of which are rich in calcium and are excellent sources of calcium for pregnant women and children.
Additionally, vegetables are also a source of calcium. Examples include daylily buds, carrots, Chinese cabbage, and rapeseed greens. They are not only rich in vitamins but also provide calcium to the human body. It is recommended to consume them more often in daily life.
Eggs are absolutely essential in daily life, and they also have a high calcium content.
