Which Calcium Supplement is Suitable for Newborns?

Question

My baby is just over 2 months old. I would like to know which calcium supplement is more suitable for him?

Answer

If you are breastfeeding, it is recommended to use a pressure cooker to make bone broth to supplement calcium. This not only adds calcium to the breast milk but also makes it easier to absorb. Additionally, exposing the baby to sunlight more often helps increase calcium absorption. Using medication to supplement calcium may be difficult to control the dosage, and excessive supplementation may lead to premature closure of bone sutures, affecting the child’s height. Therefore, more is not always better. Just like eating rice, a bowl of rice is enough; eating three bowls can make you feel uncomfortable.
