Will my toddler get enough calcium?


It is recommended that children aged from 1-3 consume at least 700 milligrams of calcium a day, which is equivalent to 2 cups of cow's milk. 

There are plenty of calcium-rich, dairy-free alternatives out there such as soy, These lactose-free options allow you to make the same recipe you would for your family simply by swapping out the dairy product for soy or tofu, for example. 

Foods such as beans, cabbage, oranges and almonds are also great sources of calcium as outlined below: 


FoodServing sizeCalcium
Collard greens1 cup, boiled357 mg
Fortified soymilk1 cup368 mg
Black-eyed peas1 cup, boiled211 mg

The Bose Soundbar 700 Won't Connect to App

Bose has one of the best speaker sound. I learnt about Bose more than 25 years ago and still a fan.  I bought Soundbar 700 in 2018.  It took me a while to set it up but it has been giving me troubles once a while.  Recently, I was not able to connect Soundbar 700 with my phone.  Done the factory reset on the soundbar, it didn't work. I spent hours reseting everything multiple times and finally I found this article,  https://www.bose.com.au/en_au/support/articles/HC1380/productCodes/bose_soundbar_700/article.html .  Tweaking them all and finally got it to work again. I think the most important setting is to TURN WPS OFF on the router!  Hope it helps.
