Question
My baby is over two months old, and their toenails are growing upwards. Their hair is growing slowly. Could this be a sign of calcium deficiency? The pharmacy gave me cod liver oil and calcium gluconate. Can I take them together?
Answer
Cod liver oil can enhance the absorption of calcium, making it more effective when taken with a calcium supplement. It’s recommended to have a trace element test to confirm the calcium deficiency, and at the same time, ensure the baby consumes a nutritious diet and gets sunlight exposure to promote calcium absorption.
