Whether a one-month-old baby (newborn) who is bottle-fed needs calcium supplementation depends first on whether the baby’s calcium supply is sufficient. In principle, if the amount of calcium consumed in the diet meets the required amount, there is no need for supplementation. The value provided in the "Dietary Reference Intake of Chinese Residents" published in 2000 is that the recommended calcium intake for a one-month-old baby is 300-400 mg/day. Mothers can refer to the nutritional information label on the outer packaging of milk powder to calculate the amount of calcium contained in the milk their baby drinks every day. Calculation method: The amount of milk powder the baby drinks every day (g)/100*the calcium content in every 100g of milk powder (mg) = the baby's daily calcium intake (mg).
