Question
How should newborns correctly take Ikorexin, and how should nipple injuries be treated during breastfeeding?
Answer
The recommended dosage for newborns to take Ikorexin is one tablet per day, usually starting from 15 days after birth. During increased outdoor activities in summer, the dosage can be appropriately increased. For mothers who are breastfeeding, they should consume enough calcium. If the baby does not show symptoms of calcium deficiency, calcium supplements may not be necessary within the first 4 months, but adjustments should still be made based on the baby’s specific condition. For babies on mixed or formula feeding, the calcium intake from milk should be calculated to ensure it exceeds the required amount (the daily calcium intake for babies aged 0-6 months is 300 milligrams). If it has already exceeded the requirement, additional supplements are not necessary, and adjustments should still be made based on the baby’s specific condition. It is recommended to use organic calcium supplements such as amino acid chelated calcium, lactate calcium, and acetic acid calcium. For nipple injuries during breastfeeding, increase the feeding frequency on the injured side and apply vitamin E ointment to promote healing. Use nipple protectors during breastfeeding. After each feeding, gently clean the nipple with cool water (note to use cool water, avoid using hot water or soap water to prevent further drying and roughening of the nipple), then let it dry and keep the nipple in a ventilated state.
