A three-and-a-half-month-old baby is breastfed and lacks zinc and calcium. What kind of milk should the mother eat?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Lactating mothers supplementing with calcium and zinc has little effect on the baby. Since the baby has been diagnosed with calcium and zinc deficiency, it should be treated with calcium and zinc supplementation. Note that calcium and zinc should not be supplemented together to avoid affecting each other's absorption.
