Patient's question:
The baby is 65 days old and does not like to sleep, cries a lot. Today, the doctor said it is calcium deficiency and sometimes the baby's lips tremble. The doctor said it is twitching. Treatment history and effectiveness: No allergy symptoms or genetic history. What kind of help do you want: I want to know if the baby's calcium deficiency and twitching will cause brain or other damage, and how to supplement calcium specifically.Doctor's answer:
Generally, calcium deficiency does not interfere with intelligence. If the baby does not get enough sunlight or artificial feeding, they should start taking calcium supplements from the full moon stage and continue until they are 2-3 years old. Before 3 months, the baby is usually just digesting cod liver oil, taking it on a half-empty stomach. The mother can digest calcium, and the baby does not need extra calcium digestion. It is recommended that the baby take oral AD calcium and the mother take oral Calciumd. After 3 months, the baby can also digest calcium and cod liver oil appropriately. However, do not overdo it.For infants aged 1-6 months, in addition to food, they should supplement with 200 milligrams of calcium and 400 units of vitamin D daily. For infants aged 7-12 months, in addition to food, they should supplement with 300 milligrams of calcium and 400 units of vitamin D daily. The above dosages are for reference only, and it is still recommended to consult with the local attending physician.
