Question
Hello, doctor, my baby is already ten months old. Do I need to supplement calcium for them? What should I be aware of during this process?
Answer
Calcium is an essential trace element for maintaining human health. Particularly during the growth period of infants, a lack of calcium can have serious effects on their normal development. Therefore, parents should closely monitor their baby’s calcium intake and supplement promptly if signs of deficiency are detected. In daily life, it is recommended to provide the baby with foods rich in calcium, as dietary calcium is more easily absorbed and utilized by the baby compared to calcium supplements.
