Question
Why isn’t my child gaining weight, and there seems to be no change? I’ve had medical check-ups, and the doctor said it’s a calcium deficiency. I want to know how to help my child?
Answer
Based on your description, I suggest strengthening exercise to improve physical fitness. Gradually increase the intensity from simple to complex exercises. At the same time, ensure a proper diet, with balanced nutrition and a mix of meat and vegetables. Choose cooking methods that children find easy to absorb, such as braising and boiling. During infancy, try to breastfeed as much as possible and follow the principles of introducing complementary foods gradually. Make sure the nutrition is balanced. Try not to give your child puffed snacks, candy, drinks, and fruit juices.
