Question
The baby has been crying a lot lately and doesn’t eat much. How much zinc deficiency does a 12-month-old baby need to supplement?
Answer
Based on your description, your child may be lacking vitamins and trace elements. It is generally recommended to supplement with a moderate amount of zinc gluconate oral solution, following the instructions on the package. If there is also a calcium deficiency, consider supplementing with calcium gluconate tablets and vitamin D at the same time to promote calcium absorption.
