Question
The baby has been crying constantly lately and isn’t eating much. How should we measure the baby’s trace elements?
Answer
Hello, using the pinch-finger method to measure trace elements is not accurate. The correct method is to take a blood test. Generally speaking, a three-month-old baby who is breastfed usually does not lack calcium and zinc, unless the mother was deficient in calcium during pregnancy, in which case the baby might be deficient in calcium at three months. When dealing with pediatric health issues, general treatment is usually considered. Parents should use professional methods to help their children recover from diseases as soon as possible to avoid affecting their growth and development. Therefore, when pediatric diseases occur, parents should quickly help their children heal the condition.
