Question
How can infants supplement calcium? Do they need medical treatment? How long does it usually take for treatment to take effect? What are some suggestions in this regard?
Answer
For infants aged 5 to 11 months, this period is usually when they start introducing solid foods, and milk intake gradually decreases. The daily calcium requirement increases to 400 milligrams, so it’s time to consider calcium supplementation. Additionally, getting plenty of sunlight is an important method for infants to supplement calcium. Since sleep is a key time for infants to grow and during this period, their bones absorb calcium most effectively, giving your baby a calcium supplement before bedtime can maximize calcium absorption.
