Patient's question:
What brand of calcium supplement is good for infants to take? How should infants take calcium supplements? Our baby hasn't been given calcium supplements, and we don't know how to supplement calcium for infants. Which brand of calcium supplement is more suitable for infants to take?Past treatment history and effectiveness: The baby has never been given calcium supplements.
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that calcium carbonate is alkaline, while the baby's stomach acid is still very little, so calcium carbonate-based calcium supplements may interfere with the absorption of newborns. Four-month-old babies are most adept at eating calcium gluconate, and lactate calcium is also a good choice. Calcium gluconate and lactate calcium are both better than calcium carbonate. It is suggested that pork and white flour contain a lot of phytic acid, which interferes with the calcification of calcium. Before cooking, it is best to first boil the flour or soak the pork in warm water for a few minutes.
