Women need to supplement folic acid from the beginning of pregnancy, which can prevent fetal neural tube defects. After 4 months of pregnancy, the limbs of the fetus begin to grow rapidly. At this time, it is necessary to supplement sufficient calcium tablets and eat more foods with high calcium content to avoid fetal underdevelopment. So, how to supplement severe calcium deficiency in a 7-month-old baby?
If a 7-month-old baby experiences severe calcium deficiency, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly and supplement calcium supplements under the guidance of a doctor, such as calcium gluconate, calcium lactate, etc. Vitamin D should also be supplemented to promote calcium absorption. At the same time, pay attention to sunbathing more, eat more soy products, and eat more calcium rich foods, such as bone soup, fish soup, and so on.
A severe calcium deficiency in a 7-month-old baby may be caused by a decrease in blood calcium levels. If the baby experiences hand and foot convulsions and joint pain, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. Calcium supplements should not be consumed together with milk powder to avoid constipation. Calcium supplements can be given to babies two hours before or two hours after they drink milk.
Parents can take their babies out for exercise more often, especially when there is sunlight. They can let their babies bask in the sun more, which can supplement vitamin D and promote calcium absorption. A 7-month-old baby can already eat complementary foods, and parents can give the baby more fresh vegetables and fruits to eat.
