Question
What should I pay attention to in the future, and do I need to supplement my child with calcium? What kind of food should I include in their diet?
Answer
Of course, since babies require a large amount of calcium at this stage for rapid growth, symptoms of calcium deficiency may arise when their body’s reserves are insufficient, so it’s important to supplement calcium promptly. Both mothers and babies should supplement together, and make sure to expose the baby to some sunlight. If you add calcium supplements and the baby can’t absorb them, it’s as if there were no supplements at all. Daily sunlight helps the baby absorb calcium, so sunlight in winter is essential; don’t miss out on it.
