Question
Why has my 5-month-old baby recently shown a lack of appetite, eating less than before? His skin color seems uneven, not particularly pale, but paler than other parts of his body. Could this be a symptom of vitiligo?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, I suggest you consult a pediatrician or pharmacist for your baby. You may also need to use zinc selenium oral supplements. At the same time, you should gradually increase the variety and quantity of complementary foods, such as rice porridge, thin congee, broken noodles, fish puree, cooked liver powder, minced lean meat, fruit puree, and vegetable puree, following the principle of starting from small to large, from one type to multiple types, and from fine to coarse. This should help improve your baby’s dietary condition. I hope my answer is helpful.
