During the process of growth and development, children often need to consume various nutrients, especially calcium, which is crucial for bone development. Therefore, if parents want their children to grow taller, they need to know if their children are calcium deficient and provide them with appropriate calcium supplements. So, what are the manifestations of calcium deficiency in children?
1. Late teething time. Under normal circumstances, babies will have teething around 4-10 months, which means they will develop baby teeth. If a baby has not yet grown teeth or has uneven teeth after one year old, it is likely caused by calcium deficiency. So, parents and friends should pay attention to the occurrence of delayed teething in babies.
2. Sweat a lot. If the indoor temperature is normal and the baby's clothing is normal, but the baby shows symptoms of excessive sweating, mainly referring to excessive sweating on the head, accompanied by symptoms of crying and waking up in the middle of the night, often related to calcium deficiency.
3. Rib inversion. If a baby has rib valgus, it is likely due to a lack of vitamin D in their body. Because when the human body lacks this vitamin, it can affect the absorption of calcium, so babies with rib arches are often calcium deficient.
4. The halogen gate closes late. The brine door of a newborn baby is not closed, and it will be completely closed when the baby is 18-24 months old. However, babies with calcium deficiency may experience delayed closure of the brine gate and even develop a square skull.
