Question
My baby is already 1 year old, why is he still not brave enough to walk by himself?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby may be experiencing developmental delays, which could be caused by poor brain development. It is advisable to take your baby to the hospital for a check-up and a brain CT scan to understand the brain’s development status. This condition requires rehabilitation training treatment. Additionally, since the full month after birth, your baby should start supplementing calcium, and it is recommended to continue this until around 2 or 3 years old. While supplementing calcium, it is also beneficial to take vitamin D to aid in calcium absorption and prevent rickets. Spending more time outdoors in the sun can also help with calcium absorption, but please note that ultraviolet rays cannot penetrate glass, so outdoor activities are necessary. Moreover, since the baby’s gastrointestinal system is not yet fully developed, it may also affect calcium absorption. It is recommended to supplement some probiotics, such as Mamy Love, to promote intestinal health. We hope your baby will grow up healthily.
