Question
My little one is just four months old, and we always make sure to prepare the right things for him. However, during our recent hospital check-up, we discovered that the baby has severe calcium deficiency, and I’m not sure how this condition will affect the baby’s body. Could a four-month-old baby’s sparse pillow be due to calcium deficiency?
Answer
Hello, if a four-month-old baby has a sparse pillow, it may not necessarily be caused by calcium deficiency, and the specific reasons need to be analyzed. One possibility is excessive sweating or excessive friction on the back of the head. Another possibility is that the baby lacks vitamin D, leading to bone softening, which could be one of the early symptoms of rickets. If the child does not have any other abnormal symptoms besides this, you can give the child some calcium supplements, such as dissolving effervescent tablets in water for drinking.
