Patient's question:
My baby is almost a month old and shows symptoms of calcium deficiency. I want to supplement some calcium, but I don't know which brand is good. Can I add some cod liver oil while taking calcium supplements?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to start supplementing your baby with nutrients one month after birth. For long-term use, choose a nutrition-based option. If your baby frequently gets sun exposure, you can take it every other day. If a trace element check confirms that your baby is calcium-deficient, it is advisable to choose Longmu Zhuanggu Zongji or Gluconate Calcium Oral Solution for this age group. Additionally, you should take fish oil orally, such as EKXIN. On sunny days, you can take your baby out for more sun exposure. At four months of age, it is important to add complementary foods promptly and conduct regular trace element checks to monitor the effectiveness of the supplements.
