Calcium supplement for six-month-old baby

Calcium is an indispensable element in the baby's growth process. If the baby lacks calcium in his life, he may suffer from rickets or bone deformity. In order for the baby to grow healthily, mothers must supplement calcium for the baby in time. If necessary, the baby can drink some oral solution such as calcium gluconate. So what are the complementary foods for six-month-old babies to supplement calcium?

It is generally recommended to start adding complementary foods at four months. At this time, the baby is just beginning to be exposed to foods other than breast milk or formula milk. Finally, light, easily digestible foods should be introduced, and the hardness and type of food should be changed according to the baby's acceptance.

1. Egg yolk

Boil the eggs with the skin on, peel out the yolk, and feed them to your baby at the beginning. Don't feed too much, a quarter is enough. You can put a little boiled water in a small spoon and feed it to your baby. Add the water slowly according to the baby's digestive ability. The egg yolk can serve as a calcium supplement.

2. Millet porridge

Ingredients: millet, water, (the proportion can be determined by yourself)

Method: Soak the millet for half an hour, then put it in a pot and cook it. After boiling, simmer it on low heat for another 40 minutes. Turn off the heat and simmer for ten minutes before feeding it to your baby. Millet porridge has high nutritional value and is rich in vitamins and minerals, such as carotene, vitamin B1B2, and protein, which is 3% higher than ordinary rice. You only need to give your baby the rice oil.

3. Vegetable juice

Ingredients: 300 grams of green vegetables (spinach, green vegetables, cabbage, etc.)

Add a bowl of water to the pot and bring it to a boil, then put in the chopped vegetables and cook on steady heat for five minutes. You can use a spoon to squeeze out the vegetable juice and use it.
