1. After the baby is born, in order to prevent calcium deficiency, doctors will recommend that the baby be supplemented with cod liver oil. In fact, cod liver oil is just a mixture of vitamin AD, not milk calcium. Don't confuse the two.
2. After the baby is born, the cod liver oil doctor will generally recommend taking it until the age of 3. According to different age groups, there are corresponding cod liver oils that can be taken.
3. Do not take cod liver oil excessively, which will not achieve the goal of rapid calcium supplementation. Once excessive vitamin AD is caused, it will also endanger the baby's health.
4. Choose cod liver oil. I suggest choosing the standard name of Chinese medicine, and don't listen to cod liver oil health care products. Quality is guaranteed.
5. While the baby eats cod liver oil, he insists on sunbathing the baby. Choose to bask in your baby's buttocks and limbs when the sun is not so exciting every day, which is beneficial to your child's calcium absorption. When Bao Ma basks in the sun for her baby, she must be well protected to avoid sunburn.
6. Baby calcium supplementation should be carried out in strict accordance with the baby's own situation, because the baby is different, so it cannot be generalized.
7. Careful observation of the baby's mental state, height, head shape and bone development can preliminarily determine whether the baby is calcium deficient. Babies with calcium deficiency must insist on taking cod liver oil and calcium together, so that the effect will be good.
8. The baby's primary nutrition comes from breast milk, so Bao Ma should also pay attention to calcium supplementation.
9. When the baby is older and can eat complementary food, the mothers can make some foods that are beneficial to calcium supplementation, and the styles are diverse, which will help stimulate the baby's interest in food. Most babies who love to eat are not very calcium-deficient. Therefore, it is very important to establish a reasonable eating habit for your baby.
To answer this question, we have to talk about it first: what is cod liver oil?
In a narrow sense, cod liver oil is oil extracted from the livers of marine fish such as sharks and cod. In a broad sense, cod liver oil also includes the liver oil of whales, seals and other marine animals.
However, regardless of the definition, in short, cod liver oil is the oil from the liver of large marine fish.
Then what effect does it have?
Simply put, the main nutritional value of high-quality cod liver oil is that it is rich in fat-soluble vitamin A and vitamin D. These two vitamins play an important role in the development of children's vision, immune function, the growth of bones and teeth, and the prevention and treatment of rickets.
For children in the stage of rapid growth and development, there is more demand for vitamin A and vitamin D, and children in the infant stage have a simple diet structure and insufficient sunlight, which can not fully meet the needs of physical growth.
Therefore, many doctors will advise parents to supplement their children with vitamin A and vitamin D.
Cod liver oil, which is rich in vitamin A and vitamin D, is favored by many parents.
So back to the topic, how old can a child eat cod liver oil?
According to the regulations of the World Health Organization, children under 1 year old should be supplemented with 10 mg of vitamin D every day; /kloc-children over 0/year old need to be supplemented with 1 5mg vitamin d every day.
It is the diet structure of children that determines how old cod liver oil needs to be eaten.
Generally speaking, babies under 2 years old should try to supplement vitamin D continuously every day. After 2 years old, if the baby is not picky about food and eats more foods rich in vitamin D, such as hairtail, animal liver, egg yolk, cheese, milk, etc., and often goes out in the sun, there is no need to supplement vitamin D.
But if the baby only eats rice noodles and vegetables, but doesn't like fish and meat, and doesn't like sports, then he needs to continue to supplement vitamin D and eat 1~2 cod liver oil every day.
Understand cod liver oil, milk calcium is the same.
Let's answer this question separately
Do you need to eat cod liver oil? Before answering this question, you should know what cod liver oil is.
Actually, cod liver oil is divided into medicinal cod liver oil and health care cod liver oil.
Health product cod liver oil refers to the liver of deep-sea fish, which mainly contains vitamins A and D, but the ratio is chaotic, and the common ratio is 10: 1.
The medicinal cod liver oil refers to vitamin AD mixture, which is a synthetic compound preparation, and the ratio is relatively fixed. Generally, the ratio of vitamin A to vitamin D is 3: 1.
The cod liver oil we usually supplement our baby usually refers to medicinal cod liver oil, which is actually vitamin A and vitamin D.
At this point, our question is simplified to: Does the baby need to supplement vitamin A and vitamin D?
1 vitamin a
Vitamin A is actually very rich in our food, such as Hu animal liver, eggs, carrots, broccoli and other dark plants.
So:
2 vitamin d
Unfortunately, the amount of vitamin D we get from food is negligible.
Sunbathing is an important way for us to get vitamin F from nature.
However, for some reasons, such as the length of sunshine every day, the amount of bare skin, the influence of rainy days, etc., the effect will always be greatly reduced, so that some studies have shown that not sunbathing can not meet the daily needs of babies for vitamin D.
Therefore, after a baby is born, it is necessary to supplement vitamin D400 units every day, which can be supplemented until 18 years old.
Does milk calcium need to be supplemented? What are the main ingredients of milk calcium?
Calcium, of course.
To answer this question, let's look at our daily demand for calcium:
And a normal child, as long as the diet is balanced, will not lack calcium.
To sum up, 1 babies need regular vitamin supplements after birth, and 400 units a day can be supplemented until 18 years old.
2 If the baby's daily intake of vitamin A is sufficient, no additional supplement is needed.
3 If your baby needs vitamin A supplementation, you can choose compound vitamin ad, that is, medicinal cod liver oil. Never choose health-care cod liver oil.
If the baby is healthy and has a balanced diet, there will be no calcium deficiency, and there is no need to supplement milk calcium.
Cod liver oil and calcium are some additional nutrients and trace elements, not as necessities, so there is no saying that you have to eat them for a few years. During the period of breast-feeding, the only thing that can be suggested to be supplemented is vitamin d3, which promotes calcium absorption and is lacking in breast milk. If you are a child who eats milk powder, you don't need to add extra vitamin D. The contents of these trace elements in the body are very, very small, so extra supplementation is easy to cause overdose. Therefore, not all nutrients are as good as possible. If the child has some abnormal or uncomfortable performance, it is also recommended to take the child to do some trace element tests first, and then supplement it when the diagnosis is really lacking. Don't blindly supplement it yourself. In this case, it is not good to spend money. Moreover, all trace elements should be ingested through food as much as possible, such as dha and calcium in fish oil, which exist in many foods. If children can eat normally, it is enough to ensure a balanced nutrition, and no additional supplements are needed.
The main components of cod liver oil are vitamin A and vitamin D. Supplementing vitamin A to the baby can avoid night blindness, dry eye and repeated respiratory and digestive tract infections caused by vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin D has the function of assisting calcium absorption and promoting bone calcification. The baby's bones are in a period of rapid growth and development, and a certain amount of vitamin D is needed every day.
But to be precise, what the baby needs is vitamin A and vitamin D, not cod liver oil. In addition, breast milk and formula milk also contain vitamin A and vitamin D, which just can't meet the needs of the baby's healthy growth. More importantly, both vitamin A and vitamin D are fat-soluble vitamins. Long-term and large-scale use will make them accumulate in the body, leading to vitamin poisoning, which is manifested in nausea, headache, vomiting, hair loss and so on. Never blindly supplement your baby with vitamin A and vitamin D.
Similarly, excessive calcium supplementation will lead to anorexia, nausea, constipation and indigestion in the baby, thus affecting the absorption of nutrients in the intestine.
Therefore, if you want to supplement the baby with vitamin A and vitamin D, it is recommended that Bao Ma take the baby to the pediatrics department of a regular hospital for consultation, and choose vitamin AD products with the standard of Chinese medicine, "OTC" drugs and calcium supplementation products under the guidance of doctors.
These are three questions. How big should you eat cod liver oil? How old is milk calcium? How long and how much?
These problems cannot be solved by simple answers. Need to know the child's specific situation, diet, milk consumption, growth and development, the mother's nutritional reserve during pregnancy, and the baby's gastrointestinal function, whether there is diarrhea and poor absorption? In short, before reading the summary, we should understand a few questions, why and how to eat. Several problems to pay attention to.
Do you need to eat cod liver oil?
Before answering this question, you should know what cod liver oil is.
Actually, cod liver oil is divided into medicinal cod liver oil and health care cod liver oil.
Health product cod liver oil refers to the liver of deep-sea fish, which mainly contains vitamins A and D, but the ratio is chaotic, and the common ratio is 10: 1.
Cod liver oil is a kind of natural oil, which is mainly extracted from the liver of deep-sea fish such as cod and shark. Besides vitamin A and vitamin D, it also contains nutrients such as DHA and fish oil. In addition, it is the problem of raw materials, which may contain heavy metals and usually have fishy smell. Cod liver oil is food, and food standards are used. The ratio of vitamin A to vitamin D in natural cod liver oil is usually 10: 1, that is, the content of vitamin A is high and the content of vitamin D is low. For 0-3-year-old babies, there is often a double risk of insufficient vitamin D intake or excessive vitamin A intake.
The medicinal cod liver oil refers to vitamin AD mixture, which is a synthetic compound preparation, and the ratio is relatively fixed. Generally, the ratio of vitamin A to vitamin D is 3: 1.
So no matter which one, we must see the content and the proportion of nutrients. Must meet the needs of infants and young children.
The cod liver oil we usually supplement our baby usually refers to medicinal cod liver oil, which is actually vitamin A and vitamin D.
At this point, our question is simplified to: Does the baby need to supplement vitamin A and vitamin D?
1 vitamin a
Vitamin A is actually very rich in our food, such as Hu animal liver, eggs, carrots, broccoli and other dark plants.
So: Babies can get vitamin A in several ways, such as:
2 vitamin d
Does the baby need to supplement vitamin d? How much dose is appropriate?
Breastfeeding baby: The recommended vitamin D drops are 10 microgram per day (400 IU international units/day).
Feeding baby with milk powder: At present, the content of vitamin D in infant formula on the market is extremely low, and it usually takes thousands of milliliters to reach 400 international units of vitamin D.. Mothers should pay attention to the label on the package of formula milk and see if the baby's vitamin D can reach 400 international units according to the daily feeding amount of the baby. If not, you need to give vitamin D drops.
Babies can get vitamin D in several ways, such as:
Sunbathing: when the weather is suitable, you often go outdoors, and you need to avoid direct sunlight when sunbathing in summer.
Dietary nutrition: dairy products, egg yolk, salmon, sardines, chicken liver, pig liver, mushrooms, etc.
Vitamin D supplement: If the baby has little outdoor time, rainy season or winter, it is recommended to give vitamin D supplement.
Unfortunately, the amount of vitamin D we get from food is negligible.
Sunbathing is an important way for us to get vitamin F from nature.
However, for some reasons, such as the length of sunshine every day, the amount of bare skin, the influence of rainy days, etc., the effect will always be greatly reduced, so that some studies have shown that not sunbathing can not meet the daily needs of babies for vitamin D.
Therefore, after a baby is born, it is necessary to add extra vitamin D400 units every day. With the increase of age, the demand is increasing. Does it mean to make up all the time? Of course not.
Knowledge of global pediatrics:
Full-term newborns should be supplemented with vitamin D400 international units every day from two weeks after birth until they are two years old. Any other single nutrient is not recommended.
In particular, some special diseases, such as hypoparathyroidism or congenital thyroid cartilage's dysplasia, or menopausal women, are not within the scope of this discussion. Calcium is a very important treatment for them.
3. Does milk calcium need to be supplemented? What are the main ingredients of milk calcium? Calcium, of course.
To answer this question, let's look at our daily demand for calcium:
Is the calcium intake of children in China generally up to standard?
The Nutrition Society of China once suggested that the appropriate daily intake of calcium for children of different ages should be: 200mg for infants of 0-6 months, 250mg for infants of 7- 12 months, 600mg for children of 1-3 years, 800mg for children of 4-6 years and 800mg for children of 7- 10 years.
1-3-year-old children's daily milk quantity should not be less than 600ml, preschool children's daily milk quantity should be 400-500ml, and school-age children's daily milk quantity should also be guaranteed to be not less than 300ml. In addition, beans and their products contain high calcium content and are easy to absorb. Sesame sauce also contains very high calcium content, which is another calcium supplement food besides dairy products. For some children who don't like to drink milk, parents may wish to try soy products.
And a normal 1 year-old child, as long as he has a balanced diet and drinks enough milk, 600-800 ml of milk will not be short of calcium. Unless the child's growth and development needs are too fast, or the mother obviously lacks calcium during pregnancy, the baby's calcium reserve is not enough.
However, after children add complementary food, the problems they face are the decrease of milk quantity, the decrease of high-calcium diet, the children's picky eaters, poor spleen and stomach and poor absorption rate.
In recent years, the national sampling survey data show that the daily dietary calcium intake of children aged 2-1/kloc-0 in China is only less than 300mg on average, and the number of people who reach the appropriate intake is only about10%. It can be seen that the diet of most children can't meet the daily calcium intake, so it is necessary to supplement vitamin D and calcium supplements.
To sum up
1 Babies need regular vitamin supplements after birth, and 400 units a day can be supplemented until they are two and a half years old. Later, according to the amount of outdoor activities, there is enough time for outdoor activities, so there is no need to add extra.
2 If the baby's daily intake of vitamin A is sufficient, no additional supplement is needed.
3 If your baby needs vitamin A supplementation, you can choose compound vitamin ad.
If the baby is healthy and has a balanced diet, there will be no calcium deficiency, and there is no need to supplement milk calcium.
Therefore, if your child has no rickets and the daily milk intake reaches the standard in the dietary guidelines, then you can only supplement vitamin D for them to prevent nutritional rickets; If the child has rickets, or the daily intake of milk and beans is relatively small, it is necessary to supplement vitamin D and add some calcium under the guidance of a professional child health manager.
Hello, everyone, I'm empty mom.
In fact, parents should understand that vitamin D supplementation for babies is to promote calcium absorption, but cod liver oil is not vitamin D, and milk calcium is not a nutritional element required by children's insurance.
1, generally speaking, newborn babies need to supplement vitamin D from birth 14 days, and vitamin D can be supplemented all the time if necessary.
2, cod liver oil is actually vitamin AD, but many times the baby does not need to supplement vitamin A, so when the body develops normally, it is not necessary to eat cod liver oil, just eat vitamin D, generally speaking, it is Yikexin.
3, milk calcium is not an element that must be supplemented. In fact, the reason why we suggest supplementing vitamin D to the baby is because vitamin D is the key to promoting calcium absorption.
4. Many times, the baby does not have enough calcium intake, but does not absorb enough, so it should be supplemented from the perspective of absorption.
5. Generally speaking, when the baby's vitamin D is supplemented to two years old, it can be taken from the daily diet without extra supplementation. However, if the doctor recommends continuing to take it during the child care examination, it is also necessary to supplement it according to the doctor's advice.
I'm an empty mother-parenting is a tedious and long-term thing. May we work together to make children and parents get better and better.
Cod liver oil is eaten until the baby is about two years old. It mainly contains vitamin D, which is a routine supplement after the baby is born. It is mainly related to the lack of vitamin D synthesis and the large demand after the baby is born. Premature babies usually start to supplement vitamin D one week after birth, and full-term babies usually start to supplement vitamin D two weeks after birth, until the baby is about two years old, mainly to promote calcium absorption and prevent rickets. Milk calcium is a nutritional supplement for children. Compared with other foods, it is easier to absorb, easy for children to accept and convenient to eat. Under normal circumstances, three-month-old babies can eat milk calcium. In order to promote the absorption of calcium, they should also take their babies out to bask in the sun. Milk calcium can be taken between meals or before going to bed, which will be beneficial to the absorption of calcium. However, it can't be eaten with greasy food and coarse grains, which will reduce the absorption of calcium.
Hello, I'm Bibi. I'm glad to answer your question ... How big should I eat cod liver oil fish for my baby? How old can I eat milk calcium without eating it? Here is my answer:
I am the mother of two children, and my two babies have been eating for almost two weeks. How to make up for it? Let me talk about it below.
According to my experience, half a month after my baby was born, I began to supplement the baby with vitamin D, 400 units a day, which is the minimum preventive dose until the baby is 2 years old. If it is a full-term baby, you can add simple vitamin D or vitamin AD after half a month, which is also commonly known as cod liver oil. When the content ratio of vitamin A to vitamin D is 3∶ 1, it is beneficial to the absorption of vitamins A and D in human body. The cod liver oil that my two treasures ate at that time was Yikexin. However, if it is premature or in the early stage of vitamin D deficiency rickets, it is not recommended to supplement vitamin AD, that is, cod liver oil, when vitamin D needs to be supplemented. If it is supplemented excessively, it will easily cause vitamin A poisoning.
If there is no calcium deficiency in milk calcium, it is generally unnecessary to take it. If there is calcium deficiency, it is better to take it with vitamin D, and it is generally enough to take it until you are two years old ... When the weather is warm, it is more conducive to the baby's absorption of calcium. If it is not absorbed, it is useless. If the baby is older, it is better to add complementary food to supplement calcium, because the calcium contained in food is more easily absorbed by the human body. I hope my answer will help you, and help point out the shortcomings.
