Patient's question:
The baby is just four months old.1. What supplementary foods should be added?
2. The baby always likes to stand, and does standing too much at four months old affect development?
3. The baby loves sucking on a pacifier to fall asleep. Does this affect the of the teeth in the future?
Doctor's answer:
You can add pureed vegetables, fruit puree, iron-fortified rice powder, and iron-fortified formula milk, and continue to supplement with VitAD drops. If the baby enjoys standing, standing frequently is usually not harmful. However, if it is vitamin D deficiency rickets, which is bone softening with early weight-bearing on both lower limbs, it may cause bending of the lower limbs, specifically: genu valgum ("O" legs, also known as "guru" legs) or genu varum ("X" legs). The habit of falling asleep with a pacifier is not good and can affect dental development.
