How long does it take for the baby to replenish calcium deficiency?

In life, babies are particularly prone to calcium deficiency, especially those who are raised on breast milk, because some nutrients in breast milk are not particularly sufficient, and the complementary food added to the baby when he is young is relatively simple, which makes it particularly easy to cause calcium deficiency. After the baby lacks calcium, he is particularly prone to rickets and baldness on the back of the head. So how long will it take for the baby to make up for the calcium deficiency?

The most common symptom of calcium deficiency in infants is occipital baldness, which means there is a circle of hairless on the back of the baby's head. This is mainly because the child lacks calcium, which causes the baby to be easily awakened during sleep at night. The child kept shaking his head, resulting in a lack of hair in the area where the back of his head rubbed against the pillow. Some children may also sweat easily. In severe cases, it may even affect the child's bone development, the most common symptom being slow tooth growth. Generally, if parents see that their baby has bald spots on the back of the head, they should check whether the child is calcium deficient. This is usually very simple and can be done by simply doing a trace element test. If the examination results confirm that the baby is indeed calcium deficient, calcium supplementation should be given at this time.

There are also some requirements for calcium supplementation for infants. The methods of calcium supplementation for infants of different ages and different degrees of calcium deficiency are also different. Generally speaking, if the baby is under two years old, it is recommended that you feed the child some Icoxin cod liver oil or eat some Longgu Zhuanggu granules, which are good ways to supplement calcium. Relatively speaking, these two types of food basically have no major side effects. They will not have much impact on children after eating them, and will not affect the development of their internal organs. In addition to taking these two medicines to supplement calcium, you should also pay attention to letting your children go out and bask in the sun more often. Nowadays, children are the apple of their parents' eyes. They are afraid that their children will melt if they are held in their mouths, and they are afraid that their children will fall if they are held in their hands. However, they cannot stay at home all day long. They should bask in the sun when they have time. After all, the best and healthiest way to supplement calcium is to bask in the sun and allow the body to form calcium itself. After the age of two, when the child can eat normally, give him more foods high in calcium, such as bone soup or tofu, to supplement calcium through dietary therapy.

As for the time for calcium supplementation, it varies from person to person. If the calcium deficiency is not very serious, it is recommended to take cod liver oil and bone strengthening granules for one or two months and then recheck. If the calcium is found to return to normal levels, no further medication is required. If there is no obvious improvement, it is recommended to continue using it. Generally speaking, it is recommended to take supplements at intervals, take it for a winter, then take a break for a while, and then take it for a summer. Taking supplements at intervals from season to season will make it easier for children to absorb, and it will also help improve their own immune system. If the condition is still quite serious, it is recommended to go to the hospital for professional diagnosis.

In addition, the dosage of calcium supplements should not be careless. Children under two years old have poor tolerance to drugs because their internal organs are not fully developed. Therefore, when supplementing calcium, one tablet of Icoxin or half a pack of Longgu Zhuanggu Granules a day is enough. Don't be too eager for results. If you feed too much at once, the baby will not be able to absorb it, and the baby's liver will be under a greater load. Mild cases may cause constipation in the baby, and severe cases may even affect the baby's liver development.

In short, calcium deficiency has a great impact on the baby's physical development, but calcium supplementation cannot be achieved overnight. Paying attention to the amount and time of calcium supplementation for the baby and letting the child grow up healthily is the best choice. Parents should not be impatient for results and take large amounts of calcium supplements in a short period of time, as this will do more harm than good to the baby's body. With reasonable treatment and healthy eating and sleeping habits, the baby's body will slowly return to normal. Don't believe in so-called folk remedies and supplement calcium scientifically.
