Question
A 1.5-year-old baby has been crying and showing a lack of appetite recently. What are appropriate calcium supplementation methods?
Answer
It is recommended to add milk to the daily diet and occasionally cook bone broth. For cases of calcium deficiency, you can try using “Sanjing Brand Gluconate Calcium Oral Solution.” However, calcium supplementation should not be prolonged, and it should be alternated with periods of discontinuation. The amount of calcium supplementation should be based on the baby’s food intake and digestion capacity. Meat intake should be moderate, as their digestion and absorption ability is limited. It is suggested to focus on eating meat during lunchtime and pair it with vegetables.
