Question
At 11 months old, the baby makes clicking sounds in its legs when active or held. What could be the cause?
Answer
Around the six-month mark, if a baby’s legs produce a clicking sound when being picked up or moving, this is typically caused by a calcium deficiency. To improve this situation, it is suggested to supplement the child with one cod liver oil capsule daily and ensure they receive sufficient sunlight exposure. Additionally, you can start gradually introducing complementary foods such as rice porridge and egg yolks, which are rich in calcium, to help the baby obtain enough calcium.
