Patient's question:
Is it okay to dilute a little bit of lactose calcium for a 7-month-old baby to feed him first and then let him drink water (he doesn't like it)? The instructions say to dilute 10 times, will feeding him this way cause diarrhea? The instructions say to dilute 10 times, I'm afraid he won't finish drinking it, so I dilute a little and feed it to him directly.Doctor's answer:
Children dissolve 10 times the lactate calcium for oral administration. You can take an adequate amount and add more than 10 times that amount of water to dissolve it. You can roughly estimate with a bottle cap; there's no need to be that precise. If you dissolve it bit by bit, that method is also acceptable, but this way of dissolving lacks a sense of proportion, and it may not necessarily dissolve to the correct concentration. For temporary lactate calcium consumption, a slightly higher amount isn't too serious of an issue. However, if used in high doses for a long period, it can negatively affect the baby's growth and development. For example, excessive calcium can lead to the formation of stones.
