2-year-old child walking unsteadily

If you feel that your two-year-old child is unsteady when walking, don't worry. At this time, they have just begun to learn to walk. If they often fall while walking and the symptoms continue to worsen, it is not normal. Parents can take them to the hospital for a bone examination. This may be a case of calcium deficiency in the baby's body.

Symptoms of calcium deficiency in children under three months old

Pay attention to the issue of differential diagnosis. There are three symptoms of calcium deficiency in children under three months old: one is that they wake up easily and sleep restlessly; one is that they get frightened by the slightest noise; and one is excessive sweating, and the sweat is not just a lot, but a lot, like small peas, or big sweat beads.

Some experienced doctors, if you touch the ribs, you may find that they are softened and leave a depression when you press them. This indicates that you may be suffering from calcium deficiency.

Therefore, only a bone density test can determine whether a child is truly calcium deficient. Because 99% of our calcium is in our bones, and very little is in our blood. This is how you determine whether your child is calcium deficient. If your child is calcium deficient, you should supplement calcium and vitamin D at the same time.

Generally speaking, there are three types of foods rich in calcium: milk and dairy products, aquatic products, and vegetables and beans. You parents are your baby's first teachers and nutrition experts. It is your responsibility to choose the right food; but it is your baby's business to decide whether to eat or not. Before the age of three, you must never force your baby to eat anything. At the dinner table, give your baby plenty of food variety and let him choose what he wants to eat. Below I will introduce two recipes for your baby that may help you.
