Many parents think that calcium supplements should be given as early as possible, and babies should start calcium supplementation within a few months of their birth. But does the baby really need extra calcium?
Within 6 months, the baby's daily calcium intake is 200 milligrams, and her milk intake is no less than 700 milliliters per day. For exclusively breastfed babies, the calcium contained in breastmilk can fully meet its calcium requirement, and the baby's absorption rate of calcium in breast milk is high, so the exclusive breast-feeding baby does not need additional calcium within 6 months.
Artificially fed babies within 6 months need formula milk instead of breast milk. The National Food Safety Standard for Infant Formula Foods stipulates that the calcium content of 100 kcal infant formula is 50 to 146 mg. The calorie content of milk powder sold in the market is generally 80~100 mg/100 kcal. For a 5 kg baby, the daily calorie requirement is 450 kcal. Under the premise of meeting the heat demand, the calcium content can also meet the development needs, so the formula-fed baby does not need additional calcium.
7-12 months baby, the daily calcium intake of 250 mg, with the normal food supplement, the calcium content of the entire diet increased, drink milk, complementary baby can meet the needs of calcium, so no additional Calcium supplement.
1 to 2 years old baby, daily recommended intake of 600 mg of calcium, while the daily milk supply to ensure that 400 to 600 ml, as long as the child's daily milk supply to meet, pay attention to diet diversification, do not need additional calcium.
Therefore, reasonable feeding of the baby does not require additional calcium. If parents are not assured, they can consult a doctor. The total daily calcium intake of the baby within 6 months does not exceed 1,000 milligrams, and 6 months to 3 years does not exceed 1,500 milligrams. Otherwise, excessive intake may affect health.
