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

In daily life, as children are born, many parents will worry about their children suffering from calcium deficiency. Of course, it is very normal to encounter these phenomena. In the following article, we will introduce the symptoms of calcium deficiency in 3-month-old babies and how to relieve this concern for everyone.

Whether a child is calcium deficient can be judged from the following aspects:

1. Night sweats, especially profuse sweating on the head after falling asleep, are more obvious after crying.

2. Restless sleep, night terrors and crying. He often wakes up suddenly at night and cries incessantly.

3. He has an abnormal temperament and a weird temper, loves to cry, is restless and is difficult to look after.

4. The baldness on the pillow is caused by the child's restlessness and difficulty falling asleep, which causes the head to rub against the pillow constantly over time. The hair on the back of the pillow is worn away, forming a baldness on the pillow.

5. Late and uneven tooth eruption Some children have not yet had their teeth erupted at the age of 1 and a half, or their teeth are underdeveloped, their teeth are uneven, their bite is incorrect, their teeth are loose, and they fall out prematurely.

6. Infant eczema: often occurs on the top of the head, face, and behind the ears, and in severe cases can spread throughout the body. Red spots and papules appear on the affected area, which then turn into blisters, erosions and scabs.

7. Delayed growth, late learning to walk, bone and joint deformities: Children with calcium deficiency can only learn to walk after 12 months. Due to osteomalacia, some people have "X"-shaped legs, some have bow legs, loose and weak muscles, and leg bone pain.

8. Delayed closure of the anterior fontanelle often does not close after 18 months, resulting in a square skull.

9. There is often beaded rib cartilage hyperplasia, where the cartilage hyperplasia of each rib is connected like beads, often compressing the lungs, causing poor ventilation in healthy children and making them prone to bronchitis and pneumonia.

10. Relaxation of muscles and tendons When children are severely deficient in calcium, if the abdominal wall muscles and intestinal wall muscles relax, it can cause gas accumulation in the intestinal cavity and form a swollen abdomen like a frog's belly. If the tendons of the spine are loose, hunchback, pigeon chest, and sternum pain may occur.

11. Others: Children with calcium deficiency often have symptoms such as loss of appetite, poor mental state, convulsions, lack of interest in the surrounding environment, mental retardation, and decreased immune function.

12. Babies who are too big or too fat are more likely to have calcium deficiency because their demand for calcium also increases. Therefore, parents with overweight children should be especially careful about their children's "strong outside but weak inside" and calcium deficiency problems.

I couldn't send it to you and found that the 3-month-old baby was showing signs of calcium deficiency. First of all, the child's shortcomings are not easy to ignore. The demand for calcium coverage can easily cause his body to become deformed or have bow legs. Parents and friends should pay attention to supplement their children with more calcium sources.
