Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
During your baby's growth and development period, supplementing trace elements is crucial. To ensure your baby receives adequate trace elements, the following measures can be taken:
1. Adjust diet: Increase intake of foods rich in trace elements, such as eggs, fish, shrimp, carrots, kiwifruit, oranges, etc., which are rich in key trace elements like iron, zinc, and calcium.
2. Oral medication: If your baby shows obvious symptoms of trace element deficiency, multivitamin tablets, calcium carbonate D3 granules, or other medications can be taken orally under a doctor's guidance to supplement necessary nutrients.
3. Lifestyle adjustments: Encourage your baby to get more sun exposure, which helps promote calcium absorption. Also, cultivate good eating habits and avoid picky eating.
4. Regular monitoring: Parents are advised to regularly bring their baby for trace element testing and adjust the supplementation plan accordingly based on the test results.
