Question
Why do baby boys sometimes have long bodies and short legs?
Answer
A baby boy with long body and short legs may be caused by a deficiency in calcium. It is suggested to supplement with calcium, which can be obtained through dietary intake such as dairy products, green leafy vegetables, or consider taking calcium tablets. Additionally, pairing the supplement with vitamin D can help promote calcium absorption. Moreover, ensure the child’s diet is balanced, avoid picky eating, engage in more outdoor activities, and let the child get plenty of sunlight to aid in the body’s synthesis of vitamin D. If the situation does not improve, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a check-up and seek professional medical advice and treatment.
