What to do if your baby is anemic Most parents choose these dietary therapy methods

Nutritional anemia is one of the common diseases in children, the main reason is caused by dietary imbalance, once the baby iron intake is insufficient, there will be anemia, let's take a look at what to do if the baby is anemic?

What to do if your baby is anemic

First of all, to ensure the nutritional quality of breast milk, we should consume sufficient iron, folic acid, etc. after giving birth, and eat more pig blood, pig liver, lean meat, chicken soup, papaya, milk and other foods. Newborns have good iron stores only on the basis of nutritious and healthy breast milk. Once your child is born, it is important to breastfeed as much as possible. Babies who cannot breastfeed should be given iron-containing milk powder.

At a certain stage of breastfeeding, the baby after 4 months should be added with complementary foods in a reasonable and gradual manner. Instead of just feeding milk, you should gradually add iron-rich egg yolks, vitamin C-rich fruit purees, vegetable purees, etc. After 6 months of age, gradually increase the amount of minced meat, minced fish, pork liver, congee with fish fillet, lean porridge, animal blood, tofu, bread slices and biscuits to provide abundant heme iron.

Pay attention to the baby's physical condition at any time, and if necessary, do a hemoglobin component detection test for the baby, because the baby with slight anemia cannot be seen on the outside. If the baby's hemoglobin is too low, it means that he has anemia, and he should supplement iron in time and eat foods high in iron.

For children and adults, it is best to add 13-16mg of iron per pound of flour. China's rural areas are dominated by cereals and starchy diets, and hookworm disease is prevalent in some places, so we must pay attention to it, and at the same time we should pay attention to increasing the meat diet as much as possible, because even if iron is added to cereals, its absorption is not as good as that of meat food.
