Patient's question:
Some people say that babies need to supplement calcium from birth, while others argue that they shouldn't be given random supplements. So, should they or shouldn't they? Additionally, my baby is two months old and is in another period of brain development. How can I ensure that my baby's brain receives better nutrition?Doctor's answer:
If there are no discomfort symptoms, I don't recommend supplementing your child with unnecessary things. Normal feeding can provide comprehensive nutrition. You can first take your baby to the hospital to check for trace elements. If there is a calcium deficiency, it needs to be supplemented. If there is no deficiency, getting more sun exposure is sufficient. Don't blindly supplement calcium for your baby. Check if your baby is deficient in calcium. If there is no calcium deficiency, don't supplement it. However, your baby is now at an age where they can eat some foods rich in calcium.
