Children have a great demand for calcium during the fetal period. If the mother's intake of calcium is insufficient, it may lead to congenital calcium deficiency in the child, which can cause serious harm to the child's future growth. This makes the mother very concerned and wants to know if the child's congenital calcium deficiency can be compensated for in the future?
If a child has congenital calcium deficiency, whether it can be replenished the day after tomorrow depends on the severity of the congenital calcium deficiency. This is because congenital calcium deficiency in children can easily lead to abnormal development. After birth, if the degree of calcium deficiency is not very serious after examination, it can be replenished through dietary regulation and calcium supplements.
Mothers choose to breastfeed their children after birth. They should eat more calcium rich foods, such as animal bones, milk and dairy products, beans and soy products, shrimp skin, sesame paste, kelp, seaweed, black fungus, etc. At the same time, mothers also need to eat foods containing vitamin C to help absorb and utilize calcium.
If the mother uses artificial formula milk powder, she can choose some infant formula milk powder with higher calcium content for the child, which can help supplement calcium. If necessary, she can give the child calcium supplements under the guidance of a doctor. However, the child's calcium deficiency is severe and has already developed congenital deformities, which cannot be replenished after birth.
