Parents and friends pay close attention to their babies' diet during the feeding process, fearing that their babies may not eat well and lack certain nutrients. For parents and friends, they must want to know what their babies lack so that they can develop better. So, how can we know what our babies lack?
To determine what a baby lacks, it is necessary to judge based on their symptoms. For example, some babies may have pale complexion, dry hair, and other symptoms, which are often caused by iron deficiency anemia. In response to this situation, it is necessary to give the baby some iron rich foods to alleviate anemia symptoms. If the baby experiences delayed development, it is likely due to zinc deficiency and requires timely adherence to medical advice for zinc supplementation.
If a baby experiences symptoms such as leg cramps and fatigue, it is often related to calcium deficiency. At this time, it is necessary to supplement the baby with an appropriate amount of calcium to alleviate the discomfort caused by calcium deficiency. From this, it can be seen that babies lack different nutritional elements, and their specific manifestations are also different. Therefore, parents and friends can make judgments by observing the symptoms of their babies.
In fact, judging based on a baby's symptoms is only the first step, as it is not enough to determine what the baby is lacking solely based on symptoms. Usually, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination in order to determine what the baby is missing. Parents and friends should not subjectively speculate on which nutrients the baby is lacking, because many of the symptoms the baby experiences are not related to what is lacking in the body, but rather to certain diseases.
