Netizen: Teacher, the child is 2 years old. Do you use calcium supplements every day? How to determine whether calcium supplementation is necessary? thank you!
Answer expert Dr. Zhang Silai (Expert of Sina Maternal and Infant Research Institute, former director of pediatrics and chief physician of Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated Hospital of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine)
Children need to eat milk all their lives. For 2-year-old children, 500 ml of milk should be guaranteed every day. Eating more vegetables can ensure the demand for calcium. No extra calcium supplements are needed. But remember to supplement vitamin AD preparations for children every day to promote the absorption of calcium.
