Question
Can a 2-month-old baby drink Sanjing brand gluconate calcium?
Answer
A 2-month-old baby can drink Sanjing brand gluconate calcium. It is recommended to start calcium supplementation from one month old and continue until the child is 2 to 3 years old. While supplementing calcium, attention should be paid to absorption issues, as excessive supplementation without good absorption is ineffective. Cod liver oil (Vitamin D) can help with calcium absorption and prevent rickets. Exposing the baby to sunlight also aids in calcium absorption, but it must be done outdoors without glass barriers, as ultraviolet light cannot penetrate glass. Additionally, since the infant’s gastrointestinal system is not fully developed, it may also affect calcium absorption.
