For breastfeeding mothers, calcium deficiency will not have a big impact on the baby's health, but it will have serious consequences for the mother herself. After the baby is born, the mother's body is already in a very weak stage due to the consumption during delivery. If there is a problem of calcium deficiency, it will be detrimental to the body's recovery. So, what are the symptoms of calcium deficiency during lactation? How to judge calcium deficiency after childbirth? 1. Lower limb muscle spasms If a breastfeeding mother often feels weak legs and feet, leg cramps, or numbness in the legs, it is very likely that the mother is calcium deficient. This symptom is usually most obvious and severe when the legs and feet are tired or in cold weather. 2. Joint pain If a breastfeeding mother often feels pain here and there, especially when she catches a cold and the pain becomes severe, then one of the reasons must be that the mother is calcium deficient. Back pain, rheumatic pain, joint pain, especially in the knees, are all obvious symptoms of calcium deficiency. 3. Similar to anemia If a breastfeeding mother often feels dizzy and easily feels lightheaded, and the symptoms are very similar to anemia or high blood pressure, then it is very likely due to calcium deficiency. If it is accompanied by edema and insufficient milk secretion, it can be concluded that the mother is calcium deficient. 4. The baby's physical abnormalities are similar to calcium deficiency If a breastfeeding baby has physical abnormalities, such as calcium deficiency, then it can be absolutely certain that the mother is seriously calcium deficient. In fact, postpartum maternal calcium deficiency will not affect the calcium content in breast milk. In other words, postpartum calcium supplementation is not actually closely related to the baby's nutrition and has only a small impact. So if the baby is calcium deficient, the mother must be even more calcium deficient. |
