Question
Can a one-month-old baby take the Babycare Plum and Ginger Powder? Lately, the baby has been crying frequently and having trouble sleeping. If it can be taken, when should it be administered? After feeding or at another time? How much dosage should be given at one time?
Answer
Condition Analysis: Hello, based on the description of your child’s condition, we do not recommend giving the Babycare Plum and Ginger Powder. Such treatment is not necessary. The child may have a calcium deficiency, or may experience gastrointestinal discomfort, or may be due to inadequate feeding. It is suggested that you should strengthen feeding to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition. If the child’s bowel movements are not good, consider giving probiotics such as Mamylove or Changlekang. Additionally, the child should supplement with vitamin D, which can be done by administering Icodol for infants, and supplemented with calcium carbonate.
