Patient's question:
Supplement with 400 units of vitamin D to promote calcium absorption. Which calcium supplement products are suitable for him?Doctor's answer:
Hello: The child's condition is not serious! There is no problem! If the infant has mild calcium deficiency, dietary supplements can be used. For babies under six months old, if they are breastfed, the mother should eat more high-calcium foods, such as beef, lamb, fish, shrimp, and other seafood; if they are formula-fed, high-calcium formula can be given to the baby. For babies over six months old, they can already start on solid foods. High-calcium foods can be given directly to the baby, but the solid foods should be finely minced and soft. For infants with severe calcium deficiency, calcium supplements in liquid form can be taken, combined with cod liver oil. It is recommended to let the baby get plenty of sunlight daily, preferably for two hours, to promote calcium absorption.
