Question

Doctor, which calcium and AD supplements are better for a 7-month-old baby? There are calcium tablets, but no trace elements have been checked. The community doctor recommended taking calcium and AD. Currently, the baby is taking calcium drops. Can calcium and AD be taken when the baby has a cold and cough? Is it better to take calcium during the day or at night?

Answer

Based on your description, regular children’s calcium tablets should suffice; no special recommendations are needed, primarily focusing on absorption. While supplementing your baby with calcium, ensure they get plenty of sunlight, as this aids in absorption. The key to calcium supplementation is absorption. Increasing intake of green vegetables is also beneficial.
