It's too one-sided.

Whether the baby needs calcium supplement or not, the time of calcium supplement varies from person to person.

If a normal baby eats breast milk and milk powder, the average daily milk amount is more than 800mL, and the amount of calcium contained in it is basically enough to meet the growth and development needs of the body, and no additional calcium supplement is needed.

Newborns aged from zero to six months need 200 mg of calcium every day. Calcium in this period can be obtained from breast milk and formula milk without additional supplementation.

The daily calcium requirement of newborns aged from seven to twelve months is about 400 to 600 mg. At this stage, the growth and development of infants are particularly fast, and the demand for calcium has also increased. Although infants have begun to add complementary foods to get some calcium from them, they still need to continue to supplement calcium and add 100 to 200 mg of calcium every day.

The daily calcium requirement of children from one to three years old is about 600 to 800 milligrams. During this period, children's deciduous teeth erupt until about two and a half years old. Generally, food can take a certain amount of calcium, but dairy products are still a more reliable source of calcium. Try to drink about 400 ml of milk every day. At the same time, pay attention to foods rich in calcium, such as shrimp skin and fish. In addition, you can add 100 to 200 milligrams of calcium every day. According to the situation, parents can choose food supplements or calcium agents to supplement calcium for their children.

However, because there are individual differences among babies, everyone absorbs calcium differently. Some babies will have hypocalcemia or rickets due to vitamin D deficiency, and their fontanels will be too large, with obvious pillow baldness, restless sleep at night and easy sweating. In this case, calcium can be supplemented appropriately.

It is best to supplement calcium one hour before going to bed at night, so that it can be absorbed better at night, but you must take vitamin D orally the next morning. Under normal circumstances, full-term babies should start to supplement vitamin D or cod liver oil two weeks after birth. Vitamin D can promote the absorption of calcium, and at the same time, you must let your baby do more outdoor activities and get more sunshine.

Suggestion:

In daily life, give children more calcium-rich foods, such as milk, dairy products, shrimp skin, beans, nuts, sesame sauce, kelp and black fungus, and take children to bask in the sun.

Precautions:

When supplementing calcium for children, we must pay attention to the fact that calcium and zinc cannot be taken together. We should supplement zinc first and then calcium, with an interval of more than one hour.
