I know! I had no idea either. It's been amazing to see the transformation though.

How does that happen? Is it a maternal deficiency thing?

Babies store zinc during the 3rd trimester, so if they are premature or mom is deficient, baby can be deficient. He had both working against him.

Thanks for that. :) I was curious in case something similar happens to us when we get a newborn. It sounds easy to diagnose, and treat. I will keep that in mind if our baby is collicky and hard to soothe.
