Is the 81 day old baby s occipital baldness a calcium deficiency, what calcium needs to be supplemen

Don't worry about this, most babies are like this, it is a lack of calcium, give him some milk afterburner calcium and cod liver oil, it is capsule-type, so as not to let the child not like to drink, we have been giving him this, it is very convenient.

The paediatric consultant at my home maid shop told me that the cod liver oil drops that babies take when breastfeeding, combined with regular sun exposure, can prevent calcium deficiency. The dragon peony strong bone granules (mixed with water) eaten after weaning have a good taste and are easy to absorb. When you grow up, you can eat fruit-flavored calcium tablets, like sugar tablets, which are easy for children to accept, and the aunt of Jia Maid Fang fills in the "Baby Diary" and "New Mother's Diary" every day to record the physical, psychological and other changes of me and the baby every day.

It is recommended that you go to the hospital to check it, I personally feel that there is a lack of calcium, if you are really deficient in calcium, you can try to take calcium supplements at the same time with cod liver oil, the main ingredient of cod liver oil is vitamin A + vitamin D, which can promote the absorption of calcium.

One manifestation of calcium deficiency in children is occipital baldness, but not all children with occipital baldness are deficient in calcium. Babies sleep on their backs and spend most of their time on pillows. In particular, the pillow prepared for the baby is too hard, and the baby rubs on the pillow all day long, and after a long time, the hair behind the pillow is rubbed off, forming pillow baldness.

Mom and dad don't find out that the baby has occipital baldness, so they are busy giving the baby calcium. It is necessary to find out what causes occipital baldness first, and then treat the symptoms.

If the pillow is rough or too hard, and the child often lies on it, once sweating and itching, the little one will use the left and right shaking movements to stop the itching, and after a long time, the hair on the pillow may be worn off, and the occipital baldness appears. There is no need for such pillow baldness, and it will be natural for the child to be older than ever.

If the child has occipital baldness, accompanied by symptoms such as poor sleep and sweating, and does not supplement calcium according to the rules, it is necessary to consider that it may be a calcium deficiency. What we usually call "calcium deficiency" is actually vitamin D deficiency rickets. Many people think that calcium deficiency can cause rickets in babies, but the real cause of rickets is a lack of vitamin D in the baby's body.

The lack of vitamin D in babies can affect the absorption of calcium and the deposition of calcium in the bones, which can affect bone development.

Therefore, vitamin D supplementation should be started 2 to 4 weeks after birth in normal term infants and should continue until 2 to 2 1/2 years of age. After the age of 2, children's outdoor activities increase and the types of diet are gradually diversified, so there is no need to supplement VD, but the daily outdoor activity time is required to be more than 2-3 hours, and a small amount of VD should continue to be supplemented if it cannot be reached.
