What is the correct way for children to supplement calcium?

Patient's question:

Doctor, hello: My child is 5 years old and has been lacking calcium. His symptoms are poor sleep and hyperactivity. I want to add fish oil emulsion to his milk. Is that okay?

Doctor's answer:

1、Broth
Use milk instead of water to thicken meat broth or tomato soup.
2、Cheese
All types of cheese are rich in calcium. Choose those with 2% fat or low-fat varieties to reduce intake of total fat and saturated fat.
3、Yogurt
There are many flavors and types to choose from, including yogurt served in cups and those packaged in tubes for sucking. There’s always one your child will love.
4、Soy Milk
Whether you choose plain soy milk or vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry-flavored soy milk, first check if it’s fortified with calcium. Most soy milk on the market is calcium-fortified, with calcium content similar to that of regular cow’s milk.
5、Chocolate and Strawberry Milk
If your child doesn’t like plain white milk, you can add flavored milk to it. Although these milks contain a bit more calories than regular milk, their calcium content is the same.
6、Legumes
It’s not just green peas—we should eat all types of legumes, such as kidney beans, chickpeas, black beans, and lentils. Most of them contain a significant amount of calcium.
7、Purées
Kids love helping you put things in a blender. First, add milk and yogurt, then let them choose their favorite fruit to mix in.
