Question
How to Treat Infant Calcium Deficiency?
Answer
Newborns generally do not experience calcium deficiency if they are breastfed sufficiently. For infants under 4 months of age, if the daily intake of breast milk reaches 800 milliliters, there is no need for additional calcium supplementation. For babies between 4 to 6 months old, if they show symptoms such as poor sleep or crying and have insufficient breast milk, it is advisable to visit a hospital for a check-up to determine whether calcium deficiency is present. If diagnosed with calcium deficiency, consider taking Landi Calcium Carbonate D3 Granules, which contain 500 milligrams of calcium and 200 international units of Vitamin D3 per packet. For babies under one year old, half a packet is sufficient. The slightly fruity taste makes it easier for babies to accept the medication, and the addition of trace mannitol helps prevent constipation. This approach can effectively prevent and treat symptoms associated with calcium deficiency.
