I believe many mothers know that calcium is very important for the entire growth and development process of their babies, mainly for the development of bones and teeth, and the demand is also very high. Therefore, mothers need to pay attention to their babies' calcium intake in daily life to avoid calcium deficiency. Some parents have asked, at what age is calcium carbonate suitable for babies to eat?
Calcium carbonate is an effective calcium supplement. When babies need to supplement calcium, eating calcium carbonate can better supplement calcium. Moreover, because the particles contained in calcium carbonate are relatively small, it is more suitable for babies aged 0 to 3 to eat. However, it should be noted that if babies do not have calcium deficiency, parents do not need to give them calcium carbonate supplements because they can already consume enough calcium in their daily diet.
But if parents find that their baby has symptoms of calcium deficiency, they can give their baby calcium carbonate after consulting a doctor. Choosing the right time to eat calcium carbonate is important for better absorption. It is recommended that parents let their baby eat calcium carbonate after meals, especially around 8-9 pm before going to bed at night. At this time, there is more secretion of gastric juice, and the reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium carbonate can generate easily absorbable calcium ions in the body, which can help the baby absorb better.
When parents give their babies calcium carbonate, they can try to eat it together with cod liver oil. The effect of calcium supplementation will be better, but it is important to remember not to eat calcium carbonate on an empty stomach. This practice is wrong and can cause the body to be unable to absorb calcium. In daily life, it is also recommended to expose the baby to more sunlight, which can generate more vitamin D and promote better absorption of calcium.
