1. Breast milk and its substitutes: For lactating babies, the best calcium supplement food is breast milk, which contains about 34 mg of calcium per 100 ml. You can also choose formula milk or milk. Every 100 ml of formula milk contains 50 mg of calcium; The calcium content per 100 ml of milk is as high as 100 mg.
2. Choose calcium preparations: There are many kinds of oral calcium preparations, such as inorganic calcium, calcium lactate, calcium carbonate, etc., which have good oral absorption and high safety, and are suitable for infants. After the baby is born 15 to 30 days, calcium supplements can be started until the 2-year-old version or 3 years old. It should be noted that calcium should not be mixed with milk, porridge and so on, because phytic acid contained in food will form a complex with calcium, which is not conducive to the absorption of calcium. Therefore, it is generally recommended to take calcium preparations in the interval between meals, which is beneficial to absorption.
3. Choose milk calcium: milk calcium is refined from natural milk, which is mild in nature, non-irritating to the digestive tract and has a high absorption rate. This product is generally a capsule. Parents need to cut or tear open the capsule shell and put the contents on the spoon for the baby to eat when feeding the medicine to the baby under/kloc-0. Children over 3 years old can chew or swallow. It can also be added to liquids such as milk and fruit juice to take together. This method is convenient to use and can improve the taste of the preparation.
By supplementing vitamin D, calcium is supplemented indirectly.
Vitamin D and calcium are a pair of golden partners. Vitamin D can help the body absorb and utilize calcium effectively, thus achieving the purpose of indirectly supplementing calcium. There are several ways to supplement vitamin D:
1. Take VD preparation or food: directly take vitamin D preparation, such as vitamin D2 tablets or cholesteryl emulsion. You can also eat more foods rich in vitamin D, such as egg yolk, animal liver, nuts, cheese and so on.
2. Sunbathing: Parents can let their babies go outdoors more. In spring and autumn, the sun is warm, so the baby can be directly exposed to the sun, and in summer, it can be exposed to the sun in the shade to avoid being burned by strong sunlight. Ultraviolet rays in sunlight can promote the conversion of 7- dehydrocholesterol in the body into vitamin D. In addition to meeting the normal demand, the produced vitamin D can be stored under the skin, so there is no so-called problem of excessive vitamin D.
It should be noted that since glass will block ultraviolet rays, do not bask in the sun through the glass window indoors. In addition, sun exposure should not be excessive, and ultraviolet rays should be prevented from damaging the baby's skin and retina.
