Today, many parents give their children and there exist many errors calcium, excess calcium, repeated calcium, a large number of vitamin D … … These practices not only affect children’s appetite, even only a few months old baby will suffer from constipation . Pediatrician pointed out that the baby must be adequate calcium, it is best not to readily give their children special calcium.

Vitamin D is not a nutritional

Some parents know that vitamin D helps calcium absorption, which often give their children vitamin D. In fact, vitamin D is not a nutritional supplements, over-taking, the long-term accumulate in the body of children would cause loss of appetite, nausea and weight loss and other symptoms, while the probability of risk of calcium and calcium may also be increased, kidney, brain, heart and lung and other organs may also be abnormal calcification.

Reporter learned from the pediatric clinic, and now a lot of infants anorexia and constipation, which have a relationship, and excessive calcium. There are some parents mistakenly believe that calcium will speed up bone healing. In fact, apart menopausal women and the elderly, the usual case, the fracture of the body of young children is not calcium deficiency, so no extra calcium.

A small number of children long-standing problem of excessive calcium may also be suffering from “a face syndrome”: long with a Zhang Taizui, prominent upper lip, nose flat, the nose overturned, two great distance, facial expressions are weird.

Formula enough to meet calcium needs

International Peace Maternal and Child Health Hospital newborn infants and infants and the Deputy Director Shi told reporters, many parents in addition to the child to drink milk, but also to add two or more of calcium, resulting in duplication of superposition.

In general, 6 months prior to the infant needs 300 milligrams of calcium per day, 6 months later the baby needs 400 milligrams of calcium per day, and in formula milk powder, each 800 mg of powdered milk has 600 milligrams of calcium content , this is already enough to meet a normal infant daily calcium requirement.

Sunshine and exercise to calcium

Wang Xia-fang, director of the Urban Chinese medicine hospital pediatric told reporters that calcium is not a multi-fed calcium, in fact, the absorption of calcium in the body affected by many factors, but also a variety of channels.

For obvious calcium deficiency in children can be soy products, dairy products and fish and other food to supplement, and with the role of the sun’s ultraviolet rays. The sun and outdoor sports are the best natural calcium preparations, at 10 am and 2 pm the sun is the most suitable for children.

After crushing the calcium foods mixed with milk or feed their children, but also wrong approach. Under normal circumstances, the mixing of the calcium in food can absorb only 20%, and the rest will be eliminated from the body after digestion. If breast-feeding when the feed calcium, milk and calcium is very easy to combine to form clots, not only easily absorbed calcium, milk is not easy to be digested. The correct approach would be that, in 1-2 hours after feeding, gastric emptying of food after most of the children fed calcium.
