Your baby may be calcium deficient in the following situations
Manifestations of calcium deficiency in infants and young children
Manifestations of calcium deficiency in adolescents
In addition to the above control observations, it can also be carried out through the hospital's child health clinicBone densitometry, bone density testing is usually presentUltrasoundwithDual-energy X-ray absorptiometryIt is non-invasive and simple and convenient. It can intuitively reflect the content of bone calcium, and according to the age corresponding to the status of bone density, bone nutrition status and growth rate, so that doctors can better carry out nutritional intervention and, and have reference value for the early detection and diagnosis of rickets, developmental delay and other bone diseases.
Moms and dads in daily lifeAttention should be paid to how to help the baby supplement calciumIn daily life, if the child can ensure a certain amount of milk and a regular normal diet, there is generally no need for additional calcium supplementation. Dairy productsIt is always the most ideal calcium supplement**, and it is an important way for babies to obtain calcium and other nutrients.
Infants and young children drink a reference amount of milk per day
1) 0-3 months of on-demand feeding, generally before the addition of complementary food daily milk is roughly 800-1200ml;
2) 6-12 months old, milk volume between 600-800ml;
3) 1-3 years old, 360-480ml, no more than 500ml recommended;
4) 3-6 years old, 300-400ml, no more than 450ml recommended.
Children who begin to add complementary foods should pay attention to the fact that with the increase in the amount of complementary food, the intake of milk will gradually decrease, and then you can pay attention to adding to the babyCalcium-rich complementary food
Calcium-rich foods
Leafy greens: Such as amaranth, rape, camellia, kale, bok choy, water spinach, broccoli, etc.;
Nuts: Such as sesame seeds, almonds, sunflower seeds, etc. (pay attention to grinding into powder for infants and young children);
Soy productsSuch as edamame, soybeans, and some soy products with low water content, etc.;
Meat: Fish, shrimp, beef, etc.
Adequate vitamin D is the best way to promote calcium absorptionChildren need to supplement 400 IU days a day up to 1 year of age and 600 IU days after 1 year of age. 1000ml of milk contains about 400IU of vitamin D, but the amount of vitamin D is not the most accurate calculation, spring and summer sunshine, children's outdoor sports increase, the amount of synthetic vitamin D will also increase, but the autumn and winter festival sunshine time is shortened, the weather begins to get colder, and the time for children to participate in outdoor sports and contact with sunlight is also reduced, so it is more important to pay attention to daily supplementationVitamin Din order to better promote the absorption of calcium from food.
Pay attention to the mistakes of calcium supplementation to avoid
Bone broth
Bones do contain 99% calcium, but the calcium in bones is difficult to precipitate. Experimental data show that after simmering in the pressure cooker for several hours, the calcium concentration of bone broth does not exceed 4mg 100ml, which is far less than 1 10 of milk, but the fat content is much exceeded.
Shopee
The calcium content of shrimp skin can indeed be as high as 991mg 100g, which is almost 10 times that of milk, but the sodium content in shrimp skin is higher, and the sodium content of 100g of shrimp skin is 5057mg (about 12.).6g of salt), excessive intake of sodium salt will accelerate the loss of calcium, so shrimp skin is not the preferred food for calcium supplementation.
Calcium supplements do not repeat the diet for a week
