Question
How much calcium should a 14-month-old baby supplement daily?
Answer
If a baby is diagnosed with a calcium deficiency, symptoms may include grinding teeth, restless sleep, pulling ears, or frequent waking. It is recommended to first conduct a blood calcium level test for the baby. If confirmed to be deficient, approximately 500 milligrams of calcium should be supplemented daily. The baby can obtain the necessary calcium through food or formula, and sunlight exposure can promote calcium absorption. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your baby a healthy growth!
