Question
The baby’s hip joint always makes a sound, and it seems to be not very energetic. Does a baby’s hip joint sound require calcium supplementation?
Answer
Postpartum mothers should supplement calcium, such as taking one Calcium Gel D tablet daily until breastfeeding ends. This helps ensure that mothers receive adequate calcium, providing high-calcium milk for the baby. Additionally, sleeping in a supine position allows parents to more easily observe the baby’s facial expressions, helping to prevent sudden infant death syndrome and allowing the baby’s head to sleep flatter, forming what is called the ‘square head and large face.’ However, supine sleeping may also pose risks such as breathing difficulties and vomiting substances entering the trachea. The baby’s internal organs are less compressed, allowing their limbs to move freely.
