Patient's question:
My baby is five months old. My husband bought her and New Zealand cow milk calcium powder. Do you think it's necessary to take them? What kind of assistance do you care about: Is it necessary to give the baby many brain-nourishing supplements, such as those containing DHA?Doctor's answer:
You can supplement calcium from birth. Taking calcium is like having dinner—it's important not to miss it. Even if he doesn't need it, it's no big deal to excrete the excess. In that case, your only loss is a bit of calcium-rich food. If the child truly lacks calcium, the loss will be much greater, as it will hinder his growth and development. You can supplement it, but don't rush—just a little bit every day is enough. Stick with it, and your baby will definitely grow up healthy and strong. Besides, you should also pay attention to whether your child is lacking in zinc. Zinc and calcium are both trace elements that children are prone to lacking.
