Compared with infants, the most ideal way to supplement calcium is to drink milk. In other words, a child who drinks a lot of milk every day is not easy to lack calcium. If it is a breast-fed baby, pay attention to the daily recommended amount of vitamin D is 400IU until the baby is 2 years old. Many parents think that the baby is restless in sleep, crying and noisy, prone to sweating, late teething, bald pillow and slow development. It is all because the baby lacks calcium, so it is necessary to give the child calcium as soon as possible. I think all the problems can be solved by supplementing calcium.
Pillow baldness is really the most commonly referred disease caused by calcium deficiency, but in fact, the key to pillow baldness is related to the baby's constant twisting in bed and the friction behind his head. In addition, it is also related to the hair growth cycle of newborns. The symptoms of rickets are mainly caused by the lack of vitamin D in the body. Although vitamin D deficiency will affect the body's digestion and absorption of calcium and phosphorus, the initiator of rickets symptoms is vitamin D deficiency, not calcium deficiency.
Slightly protruding ribs are also one of the symptoms of rickets. The last one just said that the symptoms of rickets are caused by vitamin D deficiency. In addition, many thin babies have slightly outward ribs. If the baby is thin, it is normal to have slightly outward ribs. If the baby is calcium-deficient, there will definitely be late teething, balding pillow, late fontanel closure, chicken breast, 0 legs, muscle weakness and other phenomena, but these are not necessarily caused by calcium deficiency, but may also be other nutritional deficiencies, or growth retardation and other factors, so we should make a comprehensive judgment and not be too alarmed. Crying for a while at night is calcium deficient, and hair is sparse for a while.
