Question
How can I supplement calcium for my baby during the postpartum period?
Answer
If you are breastfeeding, you can supplement calcium, which allows the baby to easily absorb it as well. If you are formula-feeding, the formula already contains calcium, and you can also purchase calcium supplements like Gai Di Xin or other calcium supplements. Additionally, you can give your baby foods rich in iron, such as animal liver, lean meat, fish, egg yolks, black fungus, soybeans, millet, green leafy vegetables, kelp, and seaweed. At the same time, eating foods rich in vitamin C, like kiwi, citrus fruits, oranges, carrots, etc., can promote the absorption of iron."
