Question
Why does my baby recently like to put their hands in their mouth?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby’s recent habit of putting their hands in their mouth may be caused by a calcium or trace element deficiency. It is suggested that you take your baby to the hospital for relevant tests to determine the specific cause. If diagnosed with a calcium deficiency, you can appropriately supplement your baby with calcium and vitamin D. Also, ensure a balanced diet for your baby to ensure they receive enough nutrients. Additionally, you can give your baby oral supplements like Schering and cod liver oil to aid in nutrient absorption. Please note rest and provide comprehensive and balanced nutrition for your baby. Take good care and offer tender care to your little one.
