Question
How can you determine if your baby is deficient in calcium? Will it be effective if the mother takes calcium tablets and then feeds the baby with breast milk?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby is just two months old. If there are instances of night terrors or bald patches on the head, these might be signs of calcium deficiency. You can observe these symptoms to determine if your child is deficient in calcium. Additionally, you can conduct a trace element test for your child to confirm whether there is a deficiency. Through observation and examination, you can ascertain if your child is deficient in calcium. If a deficiency is confirmed, you can administer calcium supplements to the baby for treatment, and the mother can also take calcium tablets herself, allowing the calcium to be passed through breast milk to help the baby replenish calcium.
