Question
Why does my baby often cry at night; is it due to malnutrition or other reasons?
Answer
Generally, if a baby does not get enough sunlight or is breastfed, it is recommended to start supplementing with calcium from the first month and continue until 2-3 years old. Three months ago, it was usually sufficient to have the baby and the mother digest cod liver oil and calcium separately, without the baby needing additional calcium. It is suggested that the baby take Icodin and the mother take Calcichew D. After three months, the baby can also digest calcium and cod liver oil appropriately, but not in excess. Infants from 1 to 6 months old need to supplement an additional 200 milligrams of calcium and 400 units of vitamin D daily, in addition to their food.
