Question
Why do babies’ ribs stick out?
Answer
According to medical advice, prominent ribs in babies may be due to a lack of calcium. It is suggested that you take your baby for a trace element test. If confirmed to be caused by a lack of calcium, you can use cod liver oil or Vitamin A&D drops to supplement, but be sure to control the dosage and avoid overdosing to prevent vitamin D toxicity. At the same time, you can add foods rich in calcium, such as liver puree, eggs, mushrooms, etc., to your baby’s complementary feeding. Also, take your baby outdoors more often for sunbathing. By combining medication, food, and sunlight exposure, the effect will be better. Wishing your baby a healthy growth!
