Do you need to supplement calcium for your child?

Patient's question:

The test results are now normal. What should I pay attention to in the future? Should I supplement my child with calcium? What is good to eat in terms of diet?

Doctor's answer:

Of course, since babies need a lot of calcium at this stage for rapid growth, symptoms of calcium deficiency may appear when the body's reserves are insufficient, so it's important to supplement calcium promptly. It's best for both the mother and the baby to take supplements, and to get more sunlight for the baby. If calcium supplements are given, the baby won't be able to absorb them, just like without the supplements. Daily sunlight helps the baby absorb calcium, so sunlight in winter is necessary and should not be lacking.
