Patient's question:
At two months old, can the baby drink Caltrate? What kind of help do you care about: When did the baby start taking calcium supplements? Thank you!!!!!!Doctor's answer:
The baby is two months old and can drink Caltrate brand calcium gluconate.Advice: The baby should start taking calcium from the full moon and continue until the age of 2-3. Calcium supplementation is not just about absorption; even if you take a lot, it's useless if it's not absorbed. At the same time, digesting AD (cod liver oil) can help with calcium absorption and prevent rickets. Sunlight exposure also aids calcium absorption, so it's essential to go outdoors and not just stay indoors with glass barriers, as ultraviolet rays cannot penetrate glass. Additionally, the baby's immature gastrointestinal system can also interfere with absorption.
