Supplementing the Calcium Needs of Children

In addition to choosing the right calcium supplement, it’s important to pay attention to lifestyle habits such as getting plenty of sunlight and supplementing calcium before bedtime.

If an infant is slightly deficient in calcium, supplementation can be considered. If the baby was breastfed for the first six months, the mother should consume more high-calcium foods such as beef, lamb, fish, and shrimp; if the baby is formula-fed, use formula with higher calcium content. After six months, the baby can be given supplementary foods, directly feeding them high-calcium foods, but these should be finely and softly prepared. Encourage the baby to get plenty of sunlight, aiming for two hours a day to promote calcium absorption.
