Why does a 3-month-old baby have a softer body, according to the doctor?

Patient's question:

Newborn at 3 months, the doctor said the body is quite soft. This condition of the child has been going on for some time, and I dare not give them medicine. Please give the doctor some advice.

Doctor's answer:

Try the child's grasping ability, raise your hand to see if the feet are naturally bent. The child is still very soft after three months. In addition to calcium deficiency, the possibility of delayed motor development should also be considered. If the patient has an abnormal birth history, such as asphyxia, umbilical cord, turbid amniotic fluid, preterm birth, etc., the possibility of delayed motor development should be considered. Check if there is a deficiency of trace elements, such as calcium. If there is indeed a calcium deficiency, we need to actively supplement calcium and vitamin D, and let the child have more sun exposure to promote calcium absorption.
