Question
Do my child need calcium supplements? The current test report is normal. What precautions should I take, and do I need to supplement calcium, as well as which foods are beneficial for calcium absorption?
Answer
Of course, since babies at this stage need a large amount of calcium to grow quickly, when the body’s calcium reserves are insufficient, symptoms of calcium deficiency may arise, so it’s important to supplement calcium early. Both mothers and babies should take calcium supplements together and ensure they get plenty of sunlight. If only calcium supplements are added, the baby may not be able to absorb it, just as if no supplement was taken. Daily sun exposure helps the baby absorb calcium, so winter sunlight is also very necessary; don’t ignore it.
