Question
What are the methods for complementary feeding and calcium supplementation?
Answer
Calcium deficiency is a common and prevalent disease in children, not only affecting growth and development but also leading to other diseases. One of the important reasons is the short duration of sunlight exposure and insufficient light. Therefore, spring and summer are the best times for children to supplement calcium. In addition to ensuring that children consume foods rich in calcium and vitamin D, parents should also take their children outdoors frequently for sun exposure to promote the conversion of vitamin D precursors in the skin of children into vitamin D, thereby facilitating the absorption and utilization of calcium. It is recommended to seek treatment at a professional hospital.
