Question
My baby is already two months old, and recently has poor appetite. They often look around while feeding, and I am worried about malnutrition and rickets.
Answer
Preventing rickets in infants mainly involves supplementing calcium. For babies who are two months old, it is recommended to primarily breastfeed and ensure that the mother’s nutrition is sufficient to pass on nutrients through breastfeeding. Additionally, appropriately introducing formula milk is also necessary. Although the baby may show signs of inattention, it may not necessarily be due to a lack of calcium; it could be because they are showing interest in their surroundings.
