Question
Some opinions suggest that infants should start calcium supplementation right after birth. For a three-month-old baby, is this practice necessary?
Answer
If the baby shows no discomfort symptoms, it is not recommended to give unnecessary supplements. Normal feeding can provide comprehensive nutrition. It is suggested to first take the baby to the hospital for a trace element test. If it is confirmed that the baby is deficient in calcium, supplementation is needed. If not, calcium can be supplemented through sunlight exposure. Before supplementing calcium to the baby, it should be confirmed whether there is a deficiency. Additionally, for a three-month-old baby, foods with higher calcium content can be introduced.
