Does my 13-day-old baby really need to start taking a calcium supplement like Calcimax+ syrup so soon after birth?

Asked by Female, 27 · 13 days ago

Generally, healthy, full-term newborns receive all the calcium they need from breast milk or formula. Calcium supplements, like Calcimax+ syrup, are usually only necessary if your pediatrician has identified a specific medical need, such as low calcium levels or prematurity. I warmly recommend reaching out to your pediatrician to clarify the specific reason they recommended this for your baby. If it was prescribed by them, it is best to follow their guidance.
