Patient's question:
The baby is now two and a half months old. Recently, its appetite hasn't been very good, and it often doesn't like to eat milk. Sometimes, while eating, it keeps looking around and cannot focus its attention. It's very worrying that the baby might suffer from malnutrition again. What should be eaten to prevent rickets in infants?Doctor's answer:
Patient, the prevention of rickets mainly involves calcium supplementation. For your two-month-old child, breastfeeding should be the primary focus, as it can enhance the mother's nutrition beyond the benefits of nourishing the child through milk. Additionally, appropriate (infant formula) should be provided. Although your baby may currently exhibit signs of inattention, this does not necessarily indicate calcium deficiency. It could also be that the child is growing and becoming more interested in surrounding objects.
