How to supplement calcium in babies who are deficient in calcium, and how to supplement calcium in b

Calcium supplementation should be started as early as 2 weeks after birth for preterm infants, and after the full month for full-term infants, and it is recommended to continue to supplement until the age of age.

There is also a problem of absorption in calcium supplementation, no matter how much you supplement, it is useless not to absorb it. At the same time, supplementing AD (cod liver oil) can help the absorption of calcium, prevent rickets, and more sun exposure will also help the absorption of calcium.

In addition, the imperfection of the infant's gastrointestinal system can also affect absorption. It is recommended to supplement calcium at the same time as supplementing some intestinal beneficial bacteria, such as Mommy Love, synbiotics, etc. (rest assured, beneficial bacteria are not medicines, the more the better), and the imperfection of the gastrointestinal system is also the root cause of eczema in children, so most diseases in children, improving the gastrointestinal tract is the key.

The most common calcium eats are "Golden Hoop Stick L-Lactate Calcium Powder" and "Ai'er Calcium Powder".

Cod liver oil can be eaten with "Betling" or "Ikoxin". I recommend "Ikoxin", which has a peanut oil fragrance and babies love to eat it, while "Betheling" is more fishy. Cod liver oil is up to one capsule a day, and eating too much will cause poisoning.

In addition, there is another option, "Jiansheng Marine Calcium" is divided into 0 1 year old and over 1 year old, it should be noted that this calcium powder already contains cod liver oil, so there is no need to add cod liver oil, cod liver oil can not be eaten more, to be poisoned. It is very soluble in water, easy to absorb, and saves the cost of cod liver oil, which is more economical.

Calcium deficiency in babies can lead to slow growth and development, night crippling, and sweating. Difficulty falling asleep and poor appetite.

1. Choose suitable calcium supplementation products.

When choosing calcium supplements for children of young age, the first thing to consider is the dosage form of calcium, and the choice should be based on the principle of small amount and easy feeding. In the case of liquid calcium and granular calcium, liquid calcium should be preferred when choosing.

2. Calcium supplementation is not always better.

If you take too much calcium, the human body cannot absorb it all, and it will be deposited in the body, which can easily lead to constipation, stones, etc., which will have a negative impact.

3. Calcium supplementation and vitamin D supplementation at the same time

If the baby lacks vitamin D, it may affect the absorption of calcium ions, and the calcium supplements will not achieve the desired effect. Therefore, it is recommended that the baby start routine vitamin D supplementation two weeks after birth. You can also participate in outdoor activities appropriately, which is not only conducive to physical health, promote growth and development, improve immune resistance, but also has a great help for calcium absorption, in winter parents can choose about 10 o'clock, and about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, these two time periods, the morning sunlight can promote metabolism, and the afternoon sunlight promotes calcium and phosphorus absorption.

4. Don't make it up all the time.

When giving calcium to your baby, be sure to take your child for regular physical examinations. If after a period of supplementation, after inspection, it is found that the calcium reserves are enough, and the baby's usual intake of calcium-containing food is also a lot, at this time it is necessary to stop calcium supplementation, do not blindly supplement the baby at home.

Your little toothless, my little luck! I don't want to miss every moment of your growth period, even if you open your front teeth, speak with the wind, and have time spent together, looking back on troubles is an hourglass of happiness.

I am very pleased to commemorate the baby's first tooth change time, when you are starting to grow up.

Originally, I didn't want to record her tooth change, but after all, it was the first time to change her teeth, and the dentist put the two baby teeth in a small box for me to keep as a souvenir.

Calcium deficiency in babies will seriously affect the normal development of babies, especially bone development, and even cause rickets, so parents must not ignore the lack of calcium in babies. So, how to make up for the baby's calcium deficiency?

How to make up for calcium deficiency in babies?

Dietary supplements. In the baby calcium supplement method, food supplement is the best, mainly unlike drugs. If the baby's calcium deficiency is not very serious, you can pay attention to adding shrimp skin, beans, fish and other foods to your usual diet. Eat less vegetables and other foods that affect calcium absorption.

Eat calcium supplements. Sometimes babies often can't keep up with calcium supplements just by eating, and the baby's calcium deficiency is more serious, so you need to give the baby calcium supplements appropriately. When taking calcium, it should be noted that different calcium absorbers have different amounts of calcium and different calcium contents.

According to some data, the calcium carbonate content is about 40, calcium acetate 29, calcium citrate 21, calcium hydrogen phosphate 15, calcium lactate 13, calcium gluconate 9. Experts point out that products with high calcium content and good absorption should be chosen.

Cod liver oil. Cod liver oil should be supplemented along with calcium supplementation. Cod liver oil is rich in vitamin D, which can promote the digestion and absorption of calcium by babies, which is also very important. Eat 1-2 pieces of cod liver oil every day.

Sunbathe. In addition to the above food supplements and calcium supplements, there are more practical ways to let the baby bask in the sun, which can be a good supplement of vitamin D, so as to ensure that the calcium ingested by the baby during meals can be well absorbed. The baby should not bask in the sun through the glass, which will not have much effect, and choose the right time according to the change of temperature.

If the baby's calcium deficiency is not very serious, the mother should try to choose the way of dietary supplements to supplement calcium for the baby, because dietary supplements are both safe and effective. In addition, it should be noted that calcium supplementation is best not to be combined with meals, because some things will affect the body's absorption of calcium.

1. If the baby has symptoms of calcium deficiency, he should take calcium and vitamin D under the guidance of a doctor, which can quickly replenish the missing calcium in the baby's body. There are many calcium preparations, parents can choose inorganic calcium rich in calcium, such as calcium carbonate, calcium lactate, melt in the mouth, there is a calcium supplement set specifically for infants, and give the child a ration every day according to the doctor's instructions.

2. From the baby's full moon, you should take the baby outdoors to bask in the sun, ultraviolet rays can promote the synthesis of VD in the body, which is conducive to calcium absorption. However, ultraviolet rays can not penetrate the glass, so you can't bask in the sun through the glass, and the baby should be allowed to sunbathe in the sun, so that the baby's ** is often exposed to ultraviolet rays, and calcium absorption will be better; In summer, you can protect your baby's head in the shade (wear a sun hat from direct sunlight).

3 For babies who have added complementary foods, milk and dairy products are the best choice for calcium supplementation, and the absorption rate is also very high. In addition, eat more calcium-rich foods: yogurt, milk powder, cheese, bone broth, shrimp skin, kelp, crucian carp, carp, mutton, chicken, eggs, soybeans, broad beans, tofu, eggs, celery, rape, carrots, etc.

Babies grow relatively fast, and calcium deficiency is a common occurrence. Calcium deficiency in babies will directly affect the normal development and growth of babies, so it is necessary to actively supplement calcium. Generally, baby calcium supplementation is best achieved by eating more calcium-supplementing foods.

So what should babies eat more if they are deficient in calcium?

1st place: Tahini.

That's right, tahini is a very good calcium supplement, and the calcium content is not inferior to cheese. Sesame seeds themselves have a hard shell, are high in oxalic acid, and have a low digestibility of nutrients. However, after grinding into tahini, the digestibility is greatly improved.

Eating 1 tablespoon of tahini is about 25 grams, and the calcium contained in it can reach about 200 milligrams, which is really not to be underestimated.

Here we recommend black sesame sauce to mothers. The sesame paste made of black sesame seeds has higher nutritional value, containing a full set of nutrients and antioxidant health care ingredients in black sesame seeds, which is beneficial to the growth and development of babies.

2nd place: Milk.

The calcium content per 100 grams of regular milk is between 102 107 mg. 1 3-year-old babies drink 400 500ml of milk per day and can supplement at least 400 mg of calcium from cow's milk every day.

In addition to calcium, milk contains many levels of phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper, manganese, and molybdenum. Milk is the best calcium in the human body**, and the ratio of calcium to phosphorus is very appropriate, which is conducive to calcium absorption.

3rd place: cheese.

Cheese is the best food for calcium**, its calcium content is 6 8 times that of milk, it is a natural calcium supplement, and it is easy to absorb.

However, babies who are too young should not eat too much at a time, and babies who are adding complementary foods should still take breast milk or formula as the main food.

For a 1 3-year-old baby, eating 20 30 grams a day is enough, which can provide 150 200 mg of calcium, which is equivalent to about 1 3 of the daily requirement.

That's half an egg. As long as mom carefully looks at the instructions on the package, she will know how many grams there are in "one piece" or "one piece".

4th place: green leafy vegetables.

100 grams of small rape, with a calcium content of up to 153 mg. Not only small rape, but also water spinach, spinach, cabbage, and cabbage are high in calcium.

Some mothers ask that the calcium content of vegetables is higher than that of milk, does that mean that eating vegetables is more calcium than drinking milk? If calculated according to the nutrient density, the calcium supplement benefit of milk is indeed lower than that of green vegetables.

However, if the absorption rate is calculated, the absorption rate of milk is much higher than that of vegetables. Therefore, even though vegetables have high calcium content, milk is more convenient to drink and has a high absorption rate, which is still a better calcium-supplementing food than vegetables.

Fifth place: water tofu.

The calcium content of water tofu (composed of soy milk and gypsum) is between 400-600 mg per 500 grams. Giving your baby 100 grams of tofu every day can easily consume about 100 mg of calcium. As a reminder, babies who are adding complementary foods can give two scoops at a time.

If the baby is mildly deficient in calcium, it can be supplemented by food, and after 6 months, you can eat more lean meat, eggs, animal liver, pork ribs, fish and shrimp, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables. If you are severely deficient in calcium, you can supplement with some calcium citrate, which is organic calcium and is relatively easy to absorb. Calcium deficiency in babies may be caused by vitamin D deficiency, so babies need to supplement some vitamin D from about 15 days of birth, and should spend more time in the sun and exercise.

First of all, calcium deficiency in babies is a very serious problem because it affects the baby's bone development and growth. There are many reasons for calcium deficiency, it may be that the baby's diet is unbalanced, lack of vitamin D, or insufficient calcium absorption, etc. Therefore, to solve the problem of calcium deficiency in babies, we need to start from many aspects.

Secondly, in addition to dietary adjustments, we also need to take targeted calcium supplementation measures. When choosing calcium supplementation products, we need to note that in the professional use of drugs and not health products, because the calcium supplement effect of health care products may not be as good as that of drugs. The domestic calcium supplement drug only calcium carbonate, although cheap, but large, easy to cause constipation and other problems.

In contrast, imported products have calcium phosphate, which is slightly higher, but it is more friendly to the baby's body. If possible, we recommend choosing pharmaceutical-grade calcium phosphate with added vitamin D3. Calcium phosphate is the closest calcium to bones, easy to absorb, and will not cause constipation, etc.

When choosing a product, we need to choose a brand with a good reputation and supplement calcium under the guidance of a doctor or dietitian.

Finally, I would like to remind parents that children's calcium deficiency cannot be replenished in a day or two, and it needs to be persisted for a long time to ensure the healthy growth of the baby. In addition to choosing the right calcium supplements, we can also start from the diet to provide the baby with a rich variety of foods, such as tofu, dairy products, fish, etc., to ensure that the baby absorbs enough calcium. At the same time, we also need to note that the baby's movement is also very important.

Proper exercise can promote bone development and improve the absorption rate of calcium.
