Question
How can I supplement calcium for a 3-month-old baby to improve the low calcium test result?
Answer
To supplement calcium for a 3-month-old baby, it is recommended to supplement both calcium and vitamin D, as vitamin D helps with the absorption of calcium in the intestines. Additionally, increasing the baby’s exposure to sunlight is important, as ultraviolet rays in sunlight help the body produce vitamin D. For children who have already been tested with low calcium levels, consider increasing the intake of calcium supplements under a doctor’s guidance. At the same time, ensure the baby consumes enough dairy products, as dairy is a major source of calcium. If needed, also consult a nutritionist for more detailed calcium supplementation advice for your baby.
