Question
Can a four-month-old baby be diagnosed with rickets?
Answer
A four-month-old baby, generally speaking, should not show symptoms of rickets. At this age, babies can be particularly restless and may cry at night, and their growth rate might be slower, which could be due to calcium deficiency. It is recommended to appropriately supplement Vitamin D3 and calcium supplements for the baby, and to increase sun exposure to enhance calcium absorption. Supplementing Vitamin D3 with calcium can effectively prevent rickets.
