Patient's question:
[All symptoms: How should a 7-month-old baby get adequate calcium? Onset time and cause: Treatment status: Desired help: Methods for calcium supplementation for a 7-month-old baby]Doctor's answer:
If it is found that the child needs to supplement calcium, then considerations can be made in terms of complementary foods or calcium supplements. Since babies are usually introduced to complementary foods between four to six months, calcium can be supplemented through these foods. High-calcium foods are common in the food category, such as fish, eggs, soy products, shrimp skin, bone broth, black fungus, sesame, etc., all of which are rich in calcium. Soy products like soy milk, soy powder, tofu, and fermented bamboo shoots also have a considerable amount of calcium. Dairy products, such as fresh milk, yogurt, and cheese, are rich in calcium and are excellent sources of calcium for children. Additionally, vegetables are also a source of calcium, such as daylily, carrots, small cabbage, and small rapeseed greens, which are not only rich in vitamins but also provide calcium to the body. They should be consumed more often in daily life. Exposing the baby to sunlight also helps with calcium absorption, so it’s a good idea to let the baby bask in the sun when there’s no particular need.
