Infants with calcium deficiency may also have some symptoms. They are relatively young and cannot identify their own problems, so parents need to observe them. In fact, there are obvious symptoms when infants have calcium deficiency, and parents can find them as long as they observe. So let me tell you about the symptoms of infant calcium deficiency.
The manifestations of calcium deficiency in infants
1. Difficulty falling asleep and sleeping soundly
Night startle and night cry are one of the manifestations of calcium deficiency in babies. Newborns with calcium deficiency often wake up suddenly at night and cry uncontrollably.
2. Night sweats
After falling asleep, the head sweats heavily, and sweating becomes more pronounced after crying.
3. Abnormal temperament
Babies with calcium deficiency may have a bad temper, often showing symptoms such as irritability, crying, and restlessness, making it difficult to take care of.
4. Late onset of teeth and uneven arrangement of teeth
Some babies may not have teeth by the age of 1 and a half, or have underdeveloped teeth, misaligned bite, uneven tooth arrangement, looseness, or premature loss.
What to do if a baby lacks calcium
If a baby shows symptoms of calcium deficiency, it is appropriate to buy some baby specific calcium tablets from the hospital. The effect of calcium supplementation is still very obvious. If taking calcium tablets, the speed of improvement is relatively fast.
If you want to supplement calcium for babies, formula milk also has a certain calcium supplement effect. Formula milk also contains a high amount of calcium, and taking formula milk on time every day also has a calcium supplement effect.
3. Calcium can also be supplemented through dietary therapy. Infants over six months old can be given bone soup, which is high in trace elements and has the effect of calcium supplementation. However, the effect of dietary calcium supplementation may be slower.
Infant calcium deficiency has a significant impact on the body. Infants with calcium deficiency may have some symptoms. If parents find that their baby's physical growth is affected, they should pay attention to it. It is also important to appropriately supplement calcium for infants, and choose the correct method for calcium supplementation to make their baby's body healthier.
