When babies are young, they may need to supplement calcium for some reasons. However, the baby's digestive system is relatively weak, and parents dare not give the baby food casually, so they do not know what to eat to achieve the effect of supplementing calcium and allowing the baby to have a balanced nutrition. So, what should a 1.5-year-old baby eat for calcium supplementation?
Firstly, if a one-and-a-half-year-old baby's calcium deficiency is not severe, it can be supplemented by eating foods with high calcium content. For example, soy products, milk, shrimp skin, fish, etc. all contain a lot of calcium, which can be eaten appropriately by babies and is beneficial for calcium supplementation.
Secondly, if a one and a half year old baby has a severe calcium deficiency, it is best to take some calcium supplements suitable for the baby under the guidance of a doctor. The effect of calcium supplementation will be better and the efficiency of calcium supplementation will be higher. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to their babies' absorption of calcium. If a baby eats a lot of high calcium foods but still lacks calcium, it may be due to poor absorption and needs to be improved.
In addition, if you want to improve your baby's poor calcium absorption, while supplementing calcium, you can also give them some vitamin D appropriately. Vitamin D can promote calcium absorption, or eating some cod liver oil can also promote calcium absorption. Parents can also regularly take their one and a half year old baby out for activities, expose them to more sunlight, and help with calcium absorption.
