Many babies have anemia in their daily lives, and severe anemia can affect their healthy growth, so mothers are particularly anxious. In order to alleviate the symptoms of anemia in babies, many mothers will give their babies lactoferrin to treat anemia by supplementing lactoferrin. Does it work for babies with anemia to eat lactoferrin?
In the case of anemia, the hemoglobin and iron elements in the baby's body are relatively deficient, and the main function of lactoferrin is to supplement iron and increase hemoglobin levels, which plays an important role in treating anemia. Therefore, when the baby is anemic, lactoferrin can be eaten. Moreover, lactoferrin also has the effect of enhancing the body's immunity, which is of great significance for the healthy growth of babies.
However, the dosage of lactoferrin supplementation should be strictly controlled, as it is a pharmaceutical preparation. If the dosage is not well controlled, it can actually pose a threat to the baby's health. Before supplementing lactoferrin, the mother should first go to the hospital to check the baby's body and confirm the cause of anemia before deciding whether to supplement lactoferrin.
In addition to lactoferrin, there are many other ways to relieve anemia. You can make some changes in complementary foods and give your baby more iron rich foods. For example, pig liver, spinach, red dates, and red beans all contain a large amount of iron, which also has the effect of relieving anemia.
