Patient's question:
Everything is normal, and it grows quite fast. However, it sweats a lot, often sweating heavily after feeding. Except for a few circles on the back of the head where the hair is not very long, it also wakes up more at night and needs to be fed to fall asleep. I don’t know if this is due to a calcium deficiency. I bought Gedi Xin from the pharmacy, but it says it can only be taken from the 7th month. I would like to ask, how should a 6-month-old baby take Gedi Xin, many times a day, and how much should it be? What kind of assistance is needed: Please help me clarify this with an expert, thank you.Doctor's answer:
Generally, if the baby does not get enough sunlight or artificial feeding, it is recommended to start supplementing calcium from the full moon and continue until the age of 2 or 3. Before 3 months, the baby usually digests cod liver oil, while the mother digests calcium.Suggestions: It is recommended to give the baby oral Icodone and the mother oral Caltrate D. After 3 months, the baby can also digest calcium and cod liver oil appropriately, but do not overdo it.
For infants aged 1-6 months, in addition to food, it is recommended to supplement 200 milligrams of calcium and 400 units of vitamin D daily.
