Patient's question:
Doctor, my baby is 3 months old. Someone told me that babies need to supplement calcium as soon as they are born, is that right?Doctor's answer:
If there are no discomfort symptoms, I do not 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, you can get enough sun exposure. Calcium supplementation for babies should not be, it is necessary to check if the baby is deficient in calcium. If there is no calcium deficiency, do not supplement. However, your baby is now at an age where they can eat some foods rich in calcium.
