Supplements advise
Daughter is 3.5 years old... recently complaining of pain in legs at night after a normal playing or running around at home. Warm oil soothes in general. Do I introduce any calcium supplements or multi vitamin as I am assuming it's growth spurt. She is on home cooked food but generaly dislikes taking milk on regular basis. I try to accommodate food varities to compensate on calcium like paneer , curd and all. Kindly advise.
