Question
At 15 months old, the baby still can’t walk and seems to be in low spirits. Should calcium supplementation be considered?
Answer
A 15-month-old baby who hasn’t started walking yet might be suffering from calcium deficiency, and it is recommended to supplement with calcium. Yogurt is a very good calcium-rich food, not only providing calcium but also containing probiotics that can regulate intestinal function, suitable for all ages. If the baby does not show any obvious signs of calcium deficiency, there is no need for additional calcium supplements. Moreover, the best time for a baby to supplement with cod liver oil is between the first half month after birth and the age of two.
