Question
My baby is 8 months old. Are there signs of calcium deficiency? How should we supplement calcium? I’ve heard that with fast-growing children, low bone density is normal. Does the hospital’s bone density test provide an accurate assessment?
Answer
Could you please provide the child’s current height and weight? How much has the child’s weight and height increased over the past three months? As children grow quickly, their nutritional needs also increase. If they do not consume enough nutrients, their bone density may be lower. The above suggestions may be applicable based on the child’s specific situation and symptoms. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish the patient a speedy recovery.
