Calcium has a very high content in the human body, but it is also an element that is easily lacking, especially for babies who grow very quickly and are prone to calcium deficiency. Therefore, parents should supplement calcium for their babies in a timely manner. Many parents do not know how to choose calcium supplements for their babies. So, what calcium is good for babies to absorb?
Firstly, parents can give their babies some liquid calcium to drink. Liquid calcium is usually easier to absorb, and while supplementing calcium, it is also necessary to give them fish liver oil to promote calcium absorption. However, it is recommended to give babies calcium tablets or foods high in calcium after 4-5 months of age. Moreover, choosing dietary supplements for babies is better than medicinal supplements. Dietary supplements are safer than medicinal supplements, and supplementing calcium through food is easier for babies to absorb.
Secondly, it is better for babies to take children's calcium tablets before bedtime or one hour after meals. These two time periods can help babies absorb calcium better, but it is important to be careful not to let babies eat calcium tablets on an empty stomach, as it can be harmful to intestinal digestion. And any high calcium foods should not be eaten during meals to avoid conflicts with the nutrients in calcium tablets.
Finally, parents should be aware that calcium tablets and milk cannot be consumed simultaneously as there may be conflicts in their nutritional content. Furthermore, parents can improve their babies' dietary combinations to ensure that they receive sufficient calcium from natural foods, which is beneficial for their growth.
