When a baby is one year old, parents may be worried about their baby's calcium deficiency, or after taking the baby for a check-up, they may find that the baby has calcium deficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to supplementing calcium for the baby in daily life to avoid affecting the baby's bone development and causing abnormalities. So, how is it best for a one year old baby to supplement calcium?
Firstly, if parents want to supplement calcium for their one year old baby, it is better to do so by eating some food. At the age of one, babies can already eat a lot of complementary foods. Parents can give babies some milk, soy products, shrimp, eggs, seaweed and other foods in their daily lives, which are helpful for calcium supplementation and are also relatively natural and healthy.
Secondly, when parents supplement calcium for their one year old baby, they should also pay attention to understanding the baby's absorption of calcium. Sometimes babies are not calcium deficient, they just cannot absorb the calcium in their bodies. At this time, it is recommended to supplement them with some vitamin D appropriately or take them out to bask in the sun regularly, which can promote the absorption and utilization of calcium.
In addition, if a baby has calcium deficiency, it may affect the growth of teeth and bones. Teeth appear relatively late. If parents discover these situations, they need to take timely measures to supplement calcium for their babies. It is best to take the baby to the hospital to check for nutrient deficiencies and provide targeted supplements.
