Patient's question:
I found online that it's a natural infant calcium supplement. It was developed by a children's hospital. Can I give it to her? My daughter got her first tooth when she was 6 months old. She has never taken any calcium supplements before. Does she need a calcium supplement? She is now 7 months old and eats rice porridge, steamed eggs, congee, and noodles alternately every day. The rest of the time, she is breastfed.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to answer your question for you: The calcium content in fresh shrimp is about 80%. If it's natural fresh shrimp calcium powder and produced by a regular manufacturer, it is safe for children to consume with no side effects. Of course, the calcium content in breast milk and the other staple foods you mentioned is sufficient for a child's growth and development. If the child's hair and nails are shiny and healthy, there is no need for special calcium supplementation. Still, it's something to keep in mind.
