Question
The 11-month-old baby’s trace element test shows a zinc deficiency. What brand of zinc supplement is recommended?
Answer
For the 11-month-old baby, zinc can be supplemented through breast milk or zinc oral drops. Especially for babies who are breastfed, mothers should consume foods rich in zinc. A recommendation is to use zinc gluconate oral drops, as they are more easily accepted by the baby in terms of taste. Additionally, mothers consuming seafood such as fish and oysters can also help supplement zinc for the baby.
