Question
How can a 6-month-old baby be supplemented with zinc and iron to improve sleep quality at night?
Answer
Zinc is an important trace element for growth and development. For a 6-month-old baby, it is recommended to obtain zinc through breast milk or infant formula. If the baby has started on solid foods, you can choose foods rich in zinc, such as red meat, nuts, beans, seafood, etc. At the same time, vitamin C aids in the absorption of zinc, so it can be taken with foods rich in vitamin C or supplements. If the baby’s zinc deficiency is severe, it may be necessary to consult a doctor and consider using zinc supplements.
