Supplementing calcium for babies is something that every mother must do in the process of raising them. If the mother has rich parenting experience, the baby's body can better absorb calcium. But if the mother does not have experience in this area, she cannot blindly supplement the baby. Can the baby supplement calcium by taking calcium tablets?
Mothers taking calcium tablets can supplement calcium for babies. Just need to reduce the normal amount of calcium intake in moderation. Because during the calcium supplementation period, the mother's body will absorb a portion, and another portion will enter the breast milk and reach the baby's body through the milk. If the original amount of calcium is still supplemented, it may cause the baby to not be able to absorb it normally, affecting the effectiveness of calcium supplementation.
Some mothers feel that their babies are severely lacking in calcium, so they will take calcium tablets and supplement calcium for their babies at the same time. In fact, this approach is very unscientific. Calcium supplementation requires a lot of knowledge, and it is recommended to supplement with small amounts and continuous supplementation, so that the baby can absorb more effectively. It is not recommended to supplement with large doses for a short period of time, as this may not achieve the desired calcium supplementation effect.
When supplementing calcium, it's not like the more you supplement, the more you absorb. If too much calcium is added, the baby's body may not be able to absorb it. The best method is to supplement with small amounts, so that the absorption effect will be better. And after one month of supplementation, it is necessary to conduct laboratory tests in a timely manner. If the supplementation is already sufficient, it should be stopped in a timely manner.
