How to deal with calcium deficiency in a two-year-old baby?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Generally, if the baby does not get enough sunlight or has limited exposure, or is artificially fed, it is recommended to start supplementing calcium from the first month of life and continue until the age of 2-3 years.
Before 3 months, it is usually sufficient to supplement the child with fish oil, taken on a half-empty stomach. The mother should take calcium supplements, while the child does not need additional calcium. It is recommended that the child take Eiko Xin orally and the mother take Calium D orally.
After 3 months, the child can also be appropriately supplemented with calcium and fish oil. However, do not overdo it.
For infants aged 1-6 months, in addition to food, it is recommended to supplement 200 milligrams of calcium and 400 units of vitamin D daily.
For infants aged 7-12 months, in addition to food, it is recommended to supplement 300 milligrams of calcium and 400 units of vitamin D daily.
