Question
My daughter is almost five months old and has been exclusively breastfed. Since she was four months old, she has been having a little rice porridge, egg yolk, meat soup, and apple juice each day. Do I need to supplement with calcium?
Answer
Since the baby cannot go outside to get sunlight every day during winter, the body may lack vitamin D. It is recommended to regularly supplement with vitamin D, which can be taken with Eijkhin, one pill a day to help absorb calcium in the body. This can be continued until the weather warms up. At the same time, observe the baby’s sleep patterns; if they are good, there is no need for additional calcium supplements.
