What are the symptoms of calcium deficiency in eight-month-old babies?

7. When calcium deficiency is severe, muscles and tendons become loose. Relaxation of the abdominal wall muscles and intestinal wall muscles can cause gas accumulation in the intestinal cavity and form a distended abdomen, like a frog's belly; relaxation of the tendons of the spine can cause hunchback.
