Question
The newborn is about to be a month old and is showing signs of calcium deficiency. The inquiry is about which brand of calcium supplement is suitable and whether it is possible to feed cod liver oil while supplementing calcium.
Answer
It is recommended to start calcium supplementation after the baby is one month old. If the baby gets regular sunlight exposure, consider supplementing every other day. If the baby is confirmed to be deficient in calcium through testing, it is suggested to choose Longmu Strong Bone Powder or Calcium Gluconate Oral Solution, and simultaneously take cod liver oil, such as Icoshin. On sunny days, taking the baby out for more sunlight exposure can help with calcium absorption. By four months old, it’s important to introduce complementary foods in a timely manner and regularly check for trace elements to assess the effectiveness of supplementation.
