Patient's question:
Is it okay to dilute the lactose calcium slightly first and then feed it to the baby, followed by water (since he doesn't like it)? The instructions say to dilute it 10 times, but I'm worried that feeding it this way will cause the baby to have diarrhea. The instructions say to dilute it 10 times, and I'm afraid he won't finish drinking it, so I diluted it slightly and gave it to him directly.Doctor's answer:
Children dissolve 10 times the lactate calcium for consumption. 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 too 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 consumption of lactate calcium, 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.
