Question
I had no idea he had this condition, and he’s not feeling well either. When is the best time for a baby to take zinc supplements?
Answer
Hello. It’s most beneficial for absorption to take zinc during the day and calcium at night. The best time to take zinc is before lunch. It’s preferable to use protein zinc supplements that are easy on the stomach and more absorbable. Feed milk every four hours, with each feeding being 200 to 250 milliliters, gradually reducing from four feedings a day to three, and replacing half a feeding with complementary foods, starting with replacing half a feeding and eventually replacing a full feeding. Gradually decrease the amount of sugar in the milk.
