What are the manifestations of calcium deficiency in newborns and how to prevent it?
What are the manifestations of calcium deficiency in newborns? Is it really about waking up at night, crying, fidgeting, bald pillow and sparse hair on the internet?

Of course not! These manifestations have nothing to do with whether the newborn is calcium deficient! The above performance will appear in newborns, but not because of calcium deficiency, but because novice parents have not learned how to take care of and meet their baby's needs, all of which are attributed to calcium deficiency. In this case, you only need to supplement calcium, and nothing else needs to be done.

Newborns wake up much at night, probably because the stomach capacity is small, breast milk is easy to absorb and digest quickly, and they wake up hungry to find food; It may also be that parents ignore him during the day, their needs are not met, and they wake up at night to seek comfort; It may also be that his parents put on too many clothes for him. When he woke up, he sweated and fidgeted, and cried with him ... There are many reasons, but these are not easy to do, so they are all due to calcium deficiency.

In fact, newborns are not prone to calcium deficiency. They all drink milk, so how can they be short of it? I'm afraid of him, but I don't help to synthesize vitamin D of calcium, so the measures to prevent calcium deficiency are vitamin D supplementation and sun exposure.

Neonates can be supplemented with vitamin D about 2 weeks after birth, mainly in oil or emulsified water. Vitamin D 10 microgram (400 international units) can be supplemented daily. Drops can be quantitatively dropped into the baby's mouth before feeding, and then feeding. The supplementary dose here is the demand under the assumption that the newborn is completely out of contact with sunlight. However, it is estimated that this situation will only occur on rainy days. So you just need to supplement it according to the dose. If there is plenty of sunshine during the day, there is no need to supplement it.

Pillow baldness and sparse hair are not calcium deficiency. Pillow baldness usually occurs in small months, just like hair loss in adults. Physiology. Newborns have fine hair. When they can't roll over and climb, they usually lie flat and turn their heads around hard, so the fine hair is particularly easy to fall off. It will grow back when you are old.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, it is normal for almost all newborns to lose some or all of their hair. Don't worry about baby hair loss within 6 months. What novice parents can do is to let the baby lie down and exercise more to avoid serious flat hair loss in the back of the head.

Hair thinning is due to incomplete growth, which is related to genes and has nothing to do with calcium deficiency.

Therefore, novice parents, as long as they learn professional knowledge comprehensively, can reduce many misunderstandings and avoid giving their children too much calcium, which is counterproductive! It is enough to take vitamin D supplements in the sun and rainy days. Other so-called "calcium deficiency performance", to meet the needs of the baby, is the last word.
