At the age of 2, babies are in the period of formula feeding. At this time, the nutrients they need may not be replenished in a timely manner, but parents may not know the functional status of their bodies. So, are there any symptoms or manifestations that can let us know that babies are deficient in calcium and zinc?
Symptoms of calcium and zinc deficiency in 2-year-old babies
(1) Black pointed or serrated; Sparse hair; Poor health condition, easy to catch colds, etc.
(2) Calcium deficiency can cause significant growth pain, leg weakness, cramps, fatigue, irritability, lack of concentration, and easy fatigue; Eating preference and anorexia; Tooth decay and underdeveloped teeth; Prone to allergies, colds, etc.
What should a 2-year-old baby do if they lack calcium and zinc
1. The child should be taken to the hospital for treatment immediately. In daily life, due to differences in knowledge and experience, some parents either blindly follow the experience of the older generation or adopt an overly perfunctory attitude when their children suffer from calcium and zinc deficiency symptoms. Over time, this can easily worsen the child's condition. Therefore, it is recommended that in daily life, when parents find that their children have been sleeping unsteadily and sweating frequently recently, they should immediately seek the help of a doctor and let them receive professional treatment.
2. When the baby reaches the age of two, the mother can feed them foods rich in calcium and zinc, such as high calcium foods such as milk, goat milk, breast milk, minced meat, egg yolks, fish, beans, seaweed, cauliflower, etc., and high zinc foods such as carrots, animal liver, oysters, black fungus, pine mushrooms, etc. These vegetables and meat can be ground into small pieces and fed to the baby. At the same time, the baby can also be supplemented with fruits such as apples, bananas, kiwis, etc.
Regardless of the age of the baby, they all need the input of nutrients, and only with the input of nutrients can their physical fitness receive normal energy. After understanding these symptoms, we can use them to identify potential problems and improve our body through diet, sleep patterns, and our environment, making our lives faster!
