Patient's question:
The doctor said my child is lacking calcium. I'm worried that those calcium supplements might not be well-absorbed, so I was wondering if I can give her calcium injections instead? If it's possible to give injections, what kind of calcium injections should I use? What kind of assistance would you like: Can you tell me what kind of calcium injections to use?Doctor's answer:
When babies lack iron, they should eat more lean meat, liver, egg yolks, animal blood, green vegetables, and beans. Animal-based foods and peanuts are rich in zinc. At 4 months, babies can eat these foods, but they should be cooked until soft, well-cooked, introduced gradually from fine to coarse textures, from light to rich flavors, and from one type to a variety of different foods. Since babies grow and develop rapidly from birth to one year, their metabolism is also very fast. Therefore, without proper attention, their bodies may lack calcium, iron, and zinc. How to give babies the correct calcium supplementation and which calcium is most easily digested: active vitamin D can enhance the absorption of calcium.
