Question

How to determine if your baby is lacking in calcium?

Answer

If your baby is deficient in calcium, symptoms such as night terrors or bald spots on the head may occur. You can observe your child’s condition to determine if they are lacking in calcium, or you can have them tested for trace elements to confirm the diagnosis. If your child is diagnosed with a calcium deficiency, they can be treated with oral calcium supplements. Simultaneous calcium supplementation for the mother can also help the baby absorb calcium through breast milk.
