Question
The child has been crying and fussing a lot lately, and isn’t eating much. Can babies take Calcium Citrate Tablets?
Answer
If the child is experiencing calcium deficiency, it is recommended to supplement with calcium. There are two ways to do this: through calcium supplements or dietary calcium. The most common and traditional way to supplement calcium is through dairy products, which are not only rich in calcium but also easy to absorb. Dairy products also contain abundant minerals and vitamins, including Vitamin D, which can promote the absorption and utilization of calcium. Yogurt is also a very good calcium supplement; it not only provides calcium but also contains beneficial bacteria that can regulate intestinal function, making it suitable for various populations. For those who do not like milk or are intolerant to milk, they can consume more alternative foods such as oysters, seaweed, Chinese cabbage, broccoli, turnips, carrots, kale, and bok choy.
