Can a one-year-old child take calcium supplements?

Patient's question:

Doctor, the baby is now one year and two months old, and has been walking for a month. Previously, during the postpartum period, after 15 days, he started eating only two boxes of AD and stopped taking calcium supplements. Now his legs are wide when walking. Today, I bought him a calcium and zinc oral solution from the pharmacy. Is it okay to take? How much should he take per day?

Doctor's answer:

The baby can take this medicine, twice a day, one bottle each time. While supplementing calcium for the baby, don't forget to give them fish oil to supplement vitamin D and promote calcium absorption. This works synergistically, making calcium supplementation more effective for the baby. It is recommended to drink more water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid exposure to cold and extreme cold, get more sun exposure, and ensure sufficient deep sleep. The above are suggestions for this issue. I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
