How to Prevent Children from Developing Rickets?

Question

How can we prevent children from developing rickets in the early stages?

Answer

To prevent children from developing rickets, the following measures can be taken:

1. Scientific Feeding: Advocate for breastfeeding and, after weaning, promptly introduce complementary foods rich in vitamin D, calcium, phosphorus, and protein, such as eggs, liver, dairy products, and fish meat.
2. More Sun Exposure: Often take children outdoors for activities, allowing them to get more sun to promote the skin’s synthesis of vitamin D.
3. Enhanced Care: Pay attention to the child’s daily life and hygiene care, regularly get vaccinated, and prevent diseases such as respiratory infections, pneumonia, diarrhea, and anemia.
