Doctor's answer:
Hello, chicken breast is usually a sign of rickets, which is caused by calcium deficiency. It is the most common disease in children and requires dietary adjustments, timely addition of complementary foods, and treatment with vitamin D and calcium supplements when necessary. Prevention should start with routine supplementation of vitamin AD preparations after four months of age and continue until the age of two. If the child is two years old during winter, the supplementation should be extended by six months. As the child grows older and outdoor activities increase, exposure to sunlight provides sufficient vitamin D, making further supplementation usually unnecessary.
