Question

My child has been crying non-stop recently and doesn’t eat much. What should I give a baby with calcium deficiency?

Answer

Hello, you can first take your baby to the hospital for a trace element test. If it is indeed a calcium deficiency, give them one calcium gluconate tablet daily, half a fish liver oil capsule in the morning, and choose AD drops under the doctor’s guidance. Take them along with breast milk to promote calcium absorption. It’s not recommended to mix the calcium tablet with milk. Because when the calcium powder is mixed with milk, it can form small lumps, affecting absorption. The calcium and fish liver oil should be taken half an hour after feeding."
