The daily calcium requirements which my pediatrician gave me are:

Birth - 6 months             400mg

6 months - 1 year           600mg

1-5 years                       800mg

6-10 years                     800-1200mg

11-24 years                   1200-1500mg

A word of WARNING.  CalBurst soft chews have been reformulated to contain dairy ingredients.  They are "new and improved".  These have been a favorite of my kids, but not any longer.

One small concern. CalBurst provides 500 mg of calcium and 200
IU of vitamin D per soft chew. Isn't that a bit much for a 2yo?

Best wishes,
