After the baby is born, we are recommended to breastfeed, some mothers have bad milk, but also with infant formula together to the baby. In fact, no matter breastfeeding or infant formula feeding, the calcium content in it is enough for infants to supplement. So most of the newborns we do not recommend additional calcium supplementation.

And many mothers find that their doctors recommend vitamin D supplements for their newborns, so why is that? The main purpose of vitamin D is actually to promote calcium absorption. In fact, we can think of a medicine that our fathers and mothers often prescribed in the hospital, that is: Calcium D. In fact, Calcium D is a combination of Calcium Carbonate and Vitamin D3, which is supplemented with Calcium Carbonate and Vitamin D3, in order to help Calcium Carbonate to be better absorbed.

So, we see that newborns do not need to take extra calcium supplements because the calcium content has been obtained from breast milk or milk powder, and the only difference is vitamin D. That is why doctors recommend vitamin D. Some mothers do not feel comfortable and want to take extra calcium supplements along with the vitamin D. This time, hospital doctors will also prescribe calcium acetate to the children because calcium acetate is better absorbed by the newborns. This is because calcium acetate is more favorable for newborns to absorb.

In summary, for newborns can not be a single calcium supplement, with vitamin D together, is conducive to the absorption of calcium, and as for the time of the two drugs are not special requirements, can be taken together, can also be taken separately in the morning and evening. For calcium and absorption is not too much impact. Finally, I wish all the babies in the world a healthy growth.

Required! In general, if the exposure to sunlight is poor or low, or if the baby is artificially fed, calcium supplements should be taken from the first month of life and are recommended until the age of 2 or 3 years. Before the age of 3 months, the child is usually given cod liver oil. Mothers should take calcium supplements. It is recommended that children take oral Icosin and mothers take oral Calcium D. After 3 months of age, children can also take appropriate calcium and cod liver oil supplements.

If you are exclusively breastfeeding, half a month after birth to start supplementing vitamin D, my daughter used to eat before the ECOXIN vitamin D, 1 year old before the green capsule, 1 year old after the red capsule, cut with scissors and squeeze the baby's mouth on the line, the taste will be a little bit nasty, I am usually in the milk before feeding, feeding immediately after the milk, so that the baby will not be too resistant.
