Question

My baby is one and a half months old. I supplemented them with cod liver oil one month ago. Now, can they take calcium supplements, and what brands do you recommend?

Answer

For babies on mixed feeding, it is appropriate to supplement with both cod liver oil and calcium. It is recommended to check for trace elements and consider products such as Icoshin, Longmu Strong Bone Granules, or Dico Children’s Calcium. If the baby is breastfed exclusively, additional calcium supplementation is generally not needed. Moreover, taking your baby out to get sunlight can also help with calcium absorption.
