Calcium is an important nutrient element in the growth process of babies. If babies lack calcium, they are prone to delayed development and many diseases, which have a significant impact on them. Parents need to pay attention to their babies' physical condition in a timely manner to see if they are calcium deficient. So, what are the reactions of babies with calcium deficiency?
When a baby is calcium deficient, the body will experience the following reactions:
1. Frequently crying for unknown reasons, feeling restless, and easily waking up when sleeping.
2. Easy to sweat, even if the weather is not hot.
3. Yellow, sparse hair, not much hair, and "occipital baldness" at the back of the head.
4. Compared to children of the same age, they grow teeth later, have smaller bodies, and lag behind in their movements, expressions, and language.
5. Frequent picky eating, loss of appetite, decreased appetite, poor immunity, and susceptibility to colds during changing weather seasons.
When parents discover that their baby's body is deficient in calcium, they should supplement calcium appropriately. Calcium supplementation can start with diet, preparing calcium rich foods for the baby in daily life, such as shrimp skin, bone soup, dark green foods, egg products, dairy products, soy products, etc. Pay attention to balanced diet and nutrition.
In addition, babies can also supplement their calcium by taking calcium supplements, such as calcium tablets and vitamin D, under the guidance of a doctor, which can improve their calcium deficiency problem. Parents should also encourage their babies to engage in more activities and take them outdoors to bask in the sun when they have free time.
