Children's calcium supplementation should be carried out under the guidance of doctors, and excessive calcium supplementation will also cause certain harm. For example, there will be edema, sweating, anorexia, nausea, constipation and indigestion. It may also restrict brain development and affect growth. If parents want to supplement calcium for their baby, they should go to the child care center for a physical examination to see the baby's bone development and physical examination, check the bone density level, and comprehensively evaluate whether calcium supplementation is needed.

Performance of excessive calcium supplementation in infants

In the end, how do parents know if the calcium in the baby is enough or even excessive? The performance of excessive calcium supplementation in infants is obvious, and parents can find it as long as they carefully observe their daily state. What are the specific symptoms of baby's excessive calcium supplementation?

1, the baby is prone to edema, hyperhidrosis, anorexia, nausea, constipation, indigestion and other symptoms due to excessive calcium supplementation. Because too much calcium in the intestine will inhibit the absorption of divalent ions such as iron and zinc, leading to secondary zinc deficiency and iron deficiency, which will lead to the above symptoms of the baby, which will eventually lead to slow growth and decreased immunity.

2, a very small number of babies will suffer from "grimace syndrome" because of excessive calcium supplementation, which is characterized by a large mouth, a prominent upper lip, a flat nose, a nostril facing the sky, and a long distance between the eyes. If the mother finds these manifestations in the baby's appearance, it is necessary to see if her calcium supplement is correct.

3. Long-term calcium supplementation will cause polyuria, with mild low back pain in early childhood and gross hematuria in severe cases.

4. If the baby's blood calcium concentration is too high, calcium will deposit around the cornea, which will affect the baby's vision. Mothers will find that the baby's vision is a little abnormal.

All of the above are obvious symptoms of excessive calcium supplementation, and some symptoms that affect bone development may not be obvious. It was not until the baby grew up that something was wrong. But in any case, parents should not give their children too much calcium, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Harm of excessive calcium supplementation in infants

Obviously, too much calcium supplementation for infants will do some harm to their health, which may be only mild symptoms, but it will cause some damage to visceral function in severe cases. There are many dangers of excessive calcium supplementation in infants, and mothers must know more!

Causing long-term hypercalciuria and increasing the chance of urinary calculi;

1, which leads to premature calcification of cartilage and premature closure of anterior fontanel, forming microcephaly and restricting the development of baby's brain;

2. Premature calcification of bones, premature closure of epiphyses, and the development of long bones are affected, which ultimately limits the height. In addition, too much calcium in bones makes bones brittle and prone to fracture;

3. Too much calcium in bones makes bones brittle and prone to fracture;

4, affect the baby's appetite, thus affecting the absorption of other nutrients in the intestine;

5, too much calcium will inhibit the absorption of ferrous ions such as iron and zinc, resulting in secondary zinc deficiency and iron deficiency, and lead to decreased immunity, anorexia, slow growth, anemia, fatigue and other corresponding symptoms;

6, blood calcium concentration is too high, so that calcium is deposited in internal organs or tissues. If it is deposited around the cornea, it will affect vision, if it is deposited on the heart valve, it will affect heart function, and if it is deposited on the blood vessel wall, it will aggravate vascular sclerosis.
