What are the symptoms of calcium deficiency in a seven-month-old baby?

In fact, many times you need to pay great attention to taking care of your baby, otherwise it is very likely to cause malnutrition of your baby, and the diet also needs to be adjusted. So let us take a look at the symptoms of calcium deficiency in a seven-month-old baby.

Calcium deficiency in 7-month-old babies often manifests as difficulty falling asleep and difficulty entering a deep sleep. They often wake up suddenly at night and cry incessantly. The baby is irritable and not interested in the surrounding environment. Sometimes parents find that the child is not as lively as before. Some other more obvious symptoms are excessive sweating, which has nothing to do with temperature, especially sweating on the head after falling asleep, which causes the baby's head to constantly rub against the pillow. After a long time, a bald circle can be seen behind the head.

Calcium is what babies need to consume every day. The absence of symptoms of calcium deficiency does not mean that the baby does not need calcium. Your baby needs 500 mg of calcium and 400 international units of vitamin D every day. If he gets this amount from milk, he doesn't need to supplement it. If he doesn't get it, he needs to supplement it.

First, observe whether there is a whitish half circle on the back of your child's head. In fact, you need to observe more aspects, such as if the child is irritable, disobedient, crying, and has a weird temper; restless sleep, such as difficulty falling asleep, night terrors, waking up early, and crying after waking up; sweating a lot, which has nothing to do with the climate, that is, the weather is not hot, and there are not many clothes, and he sweats when he shouldn't sweat; because of excessive sweating and itchy head, children like to shake their heads and rub their heads when lying down. Over time, the hair on the back of the head is rubbed off, forming a bald spot on the back of the head. Calcium deficiency is only considered when these phenomena exist to a greater or lesser extent.

You don't need to worry too much or feel uneasy. If you are worried and unsure, you can go to the hospital to check your child's trace elements to see if he or she is lacking in calcium. If he or she is really lacking in calcium, it is recommended that you take your child to get more sun exposure. After proper calcium supplementation, you can get an injection of vitD3 to promote calcium absorption, or take vitAD (cod liver oil) appropriately.

The most important thing to remind you is that there are many expensive supplements for children sold nowadays. In fact, the principles are the same, but the packaging is changed and the manufacturers exaggerate the effectiveness, so the prices are several times higher. They just take advantage of the fact that parents are willing to use the best of everything for their children. In fact, not necessarily those are good for the children. I hope you pay attention to this. Daily food supplements are still the best (breast milk and others), and you can add some "Golden Cudgel L-Lactate Calcium Granules" and "Aier Calcium Granules", as well as "Icoxin" (the vitAD cod liver oil I mentioned above, excessive use according to the instructions will have no benefit), and that's it. Remember, don't leave your baby at home all day because you are afraid of getting a suntan. Letting your baby go out to get some sun is good for your baby's health and can also promote calcium absorption.

The above article gives you a detailed introduction to the symptoms of calcium deficiency in a seven-month-old baby. I believe you already have a preliminary understanding of it. Therefore, in daily life, if such a situation occurs, you still need to make some changes in your diet.
