As the baby grows older, usually around one year old, in addition to breast milk, they will also eat some complementary foods. However, due to the insufficient calcium in breast milk to meet the baby's growth and development needs, there may be some calcium deficiency phenomena in the baby's body, such as short hair and slow tooth growth. So, what calcium should babies supplement at the age of 1?
If a baby needs calcium supplementation at the age of one, it is best for parents to give the baby some liquid calcium supplements. This will make it easier for the baby to absorb and the taste of liquid calcium supplements will be closer to breast milk, making it easier for the baby to accept and enjoy drinking. You can also give your baby some calcium containing granules and take them to play in a sunny environment, which can also help promote calcium absorption.
In addition, supplementing calcium for babies at the age of one can also be achieved through food or a combination of other calcium supplements. You can give your baby more milk and various soy products to eat. Because these foods are not rich in calcium and are also rich in other essential nutrients. Eating cod liver oil for calcium supplementation is also good, as it can help with calcium absorption.
If the baby's calcium deficiency is severe, parents can also give the baby calcium supplements such as calcium tablets. This can not only improve the baby's crying and poor sleep state, but also have a very good effect on the baby's body growth and bone development.
