Question

My baby is 1 year and 9 months old and walks with an in-toed gait. What should I do?

Answer

Hello, based on your description, your baby’s in-toed gait may be due to a calcium deficiency. When there is a calcium deficiency, the baby may experience symptoms such as pain, excessive sweating, or cramps. It is advisable to take your baby for a blood calcium test to help with diagnosis. In terms of treatment, you can give your baby calcium supplements, such as Gezhonggai, which is effective. At the same time, it is also important to ensure that the baby consumes foods rich in calcium, such as fish and bone broth. Additionally, the baby needs adequate rest and nutritional supplementation.
