Patient's question:
Mom taking calcium supplements can pass calcium to the baby through breast milk. How much the baby can absorb and whether it is effective. Can mom take calcium supplements to supplement calcium and pass it to the baby through breast milk?Doctor's answer:
Mommy takes calcium supplements. It can be absorbed by the baby through breast milk. If the baby is breastfed, there is no need to supplement calcium within the first six months. During sunny days, you can take the baby out for more sun exposure, about 15 minutes to half an hour each time, which helps with calcium absorption. For breastfed babies, to prevent calcium deficiency, it is also scientific to supplement fish oil and calcium preparations as prescribed.
