Patient's question:
The sky child has been waking up suddenly in the middle of naps lately, crying out as if startled, not knowing if it's from having a nightmare. The hair on the back of its head isn't as much as on the front, but it's not the kind that grows in only a few circles. When seen by the pediatrician, they said it doesn't seem to be lacking anything for now...Doctor's answer:
The child has already started taking calcium supplements after the full moon, and it is recommended to continue until the age of 2 or 3. Calcium supplementation, apart from the issue of absorption, is useless if taken in excess without proper absorption. Advice: If you verify that the baby gets enough sunlight daily and is also concerned about potential toxicity from taking too much fish oil, you can take one fish oil capsule every other day. Note that calcium supplements should not be mixed with milk. When calcium powder is mixed with milk, the milk forms small lumps, which interferes with absorption. Considering that taking calcium on an empty stomach may cause some stomach discomfort, it is best to take calcium and fish oil one hour after feeding. After the age of 2 or 3, the child's growth rate slows down, and outdoor activities increase continuously, so there is generally no need to take vitamin D supplements.
