Hi hun, I'm sorry you're LO broke his arm I think you should definitely look into it with a doc. My DS is a very fussy eater and I have noticed he doesn't have much dairy products these days. He doesn't like drinking milk, but will eat yogurt & chese sticks, but I'm not sure if that's enough as they are supposed to have 3 serves of dairy per day. I have bought him those gummy things which is the calcium, so I plan to give that to him till we see his paed in 2 weeks who is planning on running a BT on him, as he suspects he's low on iron too (doesn't eat meat much and is terrible with veggies, lentils/beans etc).
I think I would be seeing a GP, given that it is a different arm with the break, and that you mentioned it was from a relatively minor fall. Out of interest did his other arm heal well, and in a good time frame? Not sure if low bone density would impact on the healing of the fractures.
Good Luck for the weeks ahead whilst his arm heals.
