Question

Why does my baby suddenly love to eat their fingers?

Answer

Based on your description, it could be due to a calcium or trace element deficiency. It’s advisable to take your baby for a test. If there is indeed a deficiency, appropriate calcium supplementation can be considered. Additionally, you can give your baby oral supplements like Schering-Kauffman and cod liver oil to aid in nutrient absorption. At the same time, ensure your baby gets adequate rest and a well-rounded diet.
