If a baby lacks zinc during their developmental stage, their body may experience delayed growth and their own immunity may also be affected. In this case, parents will give their babies zinc supplements, and usually after a period of zinc supplementation, these conditions will improve. So, does the baby need constant zinc supplementation?
Normally, parents do not need to constantly supplement their babies with zinc. Because after two months of zinc supplementation, the phenomenon of zinc deficiency in the body will generally improve, and even the zinc deficiency will no longer exist. Therefore, it is best not to supplement anymore. Generally, zinc supplements cannot be taken for a long time. Parents only need to give their babies a period of time when they need them.
Generally, if a baby lacks zinc in their body, occasional supplementation is sufficient. If a baby has poor appetite or oral ulcers, they should supplement with zinc. Parents can give their baby foods rich in zinc, such as pig liver and walnuts, to obtain a certain amount of zinc from the food.
However, if zinc is supplemented through food, the baby's intake of zinc will not be too short, and it will not be possible to replenish the missing zinc in the baby's body in a short period of time. Therefore, if the baby's zinc deficiency symptoms are severe or if they want to supplement zinc immediately, they should take some zinc supplements to make up for it more comprehensively.
