Question
How should a three-month-old baby be fed to ensure proper digestion? Are probiotics considered a supplement? Can they boost the baby’s immunity? And what is the best time to take them, as well as the optimal timing for calcium tablets and cod liver oil?
Answer
It is recommended to provide three-month-old babies with a diet rich in protein, fats, vitamins, and moderate amounts of carbohydrate foods such as vegetables and fruits, while increasing milk intake. Since calcium has a calming effect, taking it before bedtime can help with deeper sleep. Therefore, bedtime is the best time to supplement with calcium, which can be consumed with milk or other calcium-rich foods or medications. Consuming cod liver oil and calcium together aids in digestion and absorption, making it a good choice to take them in the evening.
