A parent asked me if my baby is one year and eight months old. How can I tell if my baby is calcium deficient? How to supplement calcium? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: Trace elements can be tested to see if there is calcium deficiency. It is also recommended to test vitamin D levels. Calcium deficiency in children is mainly due to vitamin D deficiency. If your child is deficient in calcium, you can take vitamin AD and calcium carbonate granules. Pay attention to your daily diet and provide your baby with more milk, cheese and other dairy products, dark green leafy vegetables, nuts, small fish with bones, shrimps and shellfish, and soy products. If you want your baby to be healthy, it\’s not enough to just focus on calcium. Diet structure is very important. If the diet structure and eating habits are poor, it is not only calcium deficiency, but also iron, zinc, magnesium, vitamin C, etc. will be affected. Parents should try to enrich their babies\’ food types as much as possible, pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables, and give their babies more fresh fruits and vegetables.
