A member asked:
I do have a lot of calcium in my diet. will that affect my baby's bone structure?

Yes: Having a diet rich in calcium is ideal for the bone structure and health of both mom and baby. If you don't eat many calcium-rich foods, a calcium supplement may be helpful.

Yes: It will affect the baby's bones in a good manner as your dietary calcium provides the building blocks for strength. I believe there is good reason to think that dietary calcium is better absorbed than supplements, but be sure your overall intake meets your provider's recommendations.
