The value provided in the "Dietary Reference Intake of Chinese Residents" published in 2000 is that the recommended calcium intake for 11-month-old babies is 400 mg/day.

Parents only need to make a rough calculation based on their children's daily diet. For example, every 100 ml of milk contains about 100 mg of calcium; every 100 ml of formula milk contains about 40-60 mg of calcium; and every 100 grams of egg yolk contains about 112 mg of calcium. This can measure whether their child is deficient in calcium and how much is deficient. Of course, it is not realistic for parents to calculate their children's daily calcium intake exactly. There is a simple method. As long as the calcium in the child’s daily milk is close to the recommended standard, there will usually be no problem of calcium deficiency.
