What should children with skeletal dysplasia and poor growth take?

Children nowadays are extremely spoiled, eat very well, and often take a lot of nutritional supplements. However, the number of children who are picky eaters is also increasing, causing many children to suffer from developmental problems, which is mainly reflected in bone development. The direct result is that they do not grow tall. This will affect the judgment of parents and will also stimulate the growth of the child. Therefore, after the child is born, it is necessary to pay attention to his nutrition, and take it seriously if the child is found to have developmental problems and is not growing tall. So what should children with skeletal dysplasia and short growth be supplemented with?

In our human body, bones are like the supports of a building, supporting and maintaining our body. The growth and development of bones also determines a person's height to a certain extent.

The long bones of human limbs are divided into three parts: the shaft, the epiphysis and the metaphysis. During the entire growth and development process of children, bone growth continues in the ossification centers and cartilage plates of the epiphysis at both ends of the long bones, causing the bone length to gradually increase and the body to grow taller accordingly.

In order to have strong bones, minerals such as calcium and magnesium play an important role, because during the development of bones, sufficient minerals must be deposited to become hard bones.

We know that the bones of newborn babies are soft. There is a very soft area on the top of a newborn's head. If you put your hand there or observe it closely with your eyes, you can sometimes feel it beating. This part is called fontanelle. The fontanelle is the part where the skull bones of a child are connected and have not yet fully ossified. There are the anterior fontanelle, posterior fontanelle and lateral fontanelle. The lateral fontanelles are closed at birth. If you place your hand on the open fontanelle, you can feel the pulsation of the blood vessels under the skin.

A newborn's spine is flexible and completely straight. The several curves of the spine are gradually developed after the child is born.

Therefore, in order to ensure the normal development of children's spine, the correct posture when sitting, standing and walking is very important, otherwise it will cause spinal deformities. In addition, the basic rule of children's development is that they can lift their heads at 2-3 months old, sit independently at 6-7 months old, crawl at 8-9 months old, stand at 10-11 months old, and walk at 12-16 months old.

Parents need to pay special attention: If the child has not reached the corresponding age, do not let the child learn to sit or stand too early, as this will cause excessive flexion of the spine and affect the child's height.

The role of calcium and magnesium in children's bone development

During the development of bones, there must be sufficient mineral deposition, so minerals such as calcium and magnesium play an important role in the formation and development of bones.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the human body, and 99% of the body's calcium is distributed in bones and teeth. Magnesium and calcium work together to build strong bones and teeth. Adequate intake of minerals such as calcium and magnesium is required until adolescence. If the intake is insufficient for a long time, calcium deficiency will occur, which will cause bone maldevelopment, growth retardation, bone deformation, and in severe cases, rickets, incomplete tooth calcification, and susceptibility to tooth decay.

According to the law of human bone growth, childhood and adolescence are the peak period of bone development and the best time for children to grow taller. During this period, parents should pay attention to timely supplement their children with adequate calcium, magnesium and other minerals. If children lack calcium and magnesium in their bodies during this period, it will affect the normal growth and development of children's bones and even affect their lives.

What should children with skeletal maldevelopment and short growth need to supplement? Children's nutritional supplements must start from an early age. Of course, attention should be paid to the nutrition of the baby after birth. Parents can observe the development of the height, bones, etc. through the child's pediatrics, and regulate the body through diet, health care products, etc., to avoid the phenomenon of children with skeletal maldevelopment and short growth. Of course, after this phenomenon occurs, nutritional supplements should be made, and more attention should be paid to the child's psychological growth, which is extremely beneficial to treatment.
