Do all babies need calcium supplements?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Seventy-eight days everyone says the baby is due for calcium supplementation, is that correct?
What kind of assistance you are looking for: I want to know if every baby needs to be given calcium supplementation...

Doctor's answer:

Yes, the baby is still young and in the initial stage of physical growth and development. Under the right conditions, appropriately supplementing the baby with calcium can play a catalytic role in their growth and development! It can also prevent the recurrence of many minor health issues.
Starting from the full moon, it is recommended to supplement calcium, and this should continue until the child is 2 or 3 years old. Beyond the issue of absorption, taking in excessive calcium without proper absorption is futile. Simultaneously, digesting AD (cod liver oil) can aid in calcium absorption and prevent rickets. Exposing the baby to sunlight also helps with calcium absorption, but it is essential to go outdoors rather than through a window, as ultraviolet rays cannot penetrate glass.
Additionally, the immature gastrointestinal system of infants can interfere with absorption. It is advisable to supplement with probiotics, such as Mimi Ai or Heshengyuan, while taking calcium (rest assured, probiotics are not medicine—they are beneficial in moderation). The immature gastrointestinal system is also a root cause of infantile eczema. Therefore, stabilizing the gastrointestinal system is key to preventing most childhood illnesses.
The above advice addresses the question, "Do all infants need calcium supplementation?" I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
