Question
Why are some calcium supplements not suitable for children under 1 year old, and what problems might arise if they have already been taken?
Answer
Children under 1 year old should not consume certain calcium supplements because their digestive systems are not yet fully developed and may not be able to effectively digest these products. If these supplements have already been given to children under 1 year old, observe for any adverse reactions such as vomiting, diarrhea, or allergies. If no discomfort is noted, there may be no need to worry excessively, but it is still recommended to choose age-appropriate products when supplementing calcium for children. Additionally, you can give children cod liver oil to help absorb calcium.
