How to solve the problem of forehead protrusion in children

The baby's forehead is relatively protruding. When facing this situation, it is also a problem that parents cannot ignore, because this may be a manifestation of the baby's calcium deficiency or lack of certain nutrients in the body. We need to analyze and introduce to you in detail the reasons that cause the child's protruding forehead, so that we can effectively treat and solve the problem and reduce the impact of this phenomenon on the child.

Forehead protrusion may be related to calcium deficiency. In the early stage of calcium deficiency, babies will show symptoms such as square head, night terrors, waking up easily, irritability and crying, baldness on the back of the head, and excessive sweating. Four-month-old babies should start to add complementary foods, and mothers should also eat some high-calcium foods, let the baby bask in the sun more to increase calcium absorption, and supplement the baby with calcium. Calcium is generally better absorbed in an acidic environment, so you can choose some acidic calcium such as calcium gluconate or calcium lactate for the baby, and take it with AD drops to promote calcium absorption.

Dietary supplements must choose the right food

Many parents prefer animal bones, such as pork ribs soup, but it is actually "one-sided". It turns out that the calcium content in spare ribs is low, with only about 25 mg of calcium in 1 pound of spare ribs. In addition, the calcium in the bones is difficult to dissolve in the soup (the calcium in the soup is only 1/10 of that in the spare ribs). However, a baby's daily calcium requirement is at least 400 mg, so spare rib soup obviously cannot meet this requirement. In comparison, whether in terms of calcium content or absorption rate, milk is the best source, with breast milk being the best, followed by formula milk, and then fresh milk. In addition to milk, fish, eggs, beans, green leafy vegetables, etc. are worth recommending.

The timing of taking medicine supplements should be grasped

For example, calcium supplements should not be taken with plant-based foods or fatty foods, because plant-based foods such as vegetables mostly contain salts such as oxalates, carbonates, and phosphates, which can combine with calcium and hinder calcium absorption; and fatty acids are generated after the decomposition of fats, which can also combine with calcium and are not easily absorbed by the intestines. Secondly, in order to avoid breast milk interfering with calcium absorption, it is best to arrange calcium supplementation between two feedings.

The above is an analysis and introduction to the reasons for children's protruding forehead. Through these introductions, we will find that in fact, children's protruding forehead is not caused by any disease, but may be purely due to a lack of a certain nutrient element in the body. Therefore, everyone needs scientific knowledge and understanding, and pay attention to nutritional supplements.
