Question

A 5-month-old baby has been crying frequently and showing poor appetite lately. How should one supplement calcium for the baby?

Answer

You can give the baby cod liver oil or Beiteling, and take oral calcium gluconate, while also moderation exposing them to sunlight to promote calcium absorption. In terms of food, you can add egg yolk paste to increase calcium intake. Calcium supplementation is a long-term process, so it’s recommended to continuously observe the baby’s growth and wish the baby a healthy growth.
