Baby skin, which many people envy, is indeed very delicate. Of course, because it is a baby and their skin is very thin, their ability to resist damage is still very low, so parents should pay attention to taking good care of their baby's skin. So, is dry baby skin a lack of vitamin A?
Some parents may develop it, and some babies have very dry skin, which is indeed related to vitamin A deficiency. From the specific symptoms, it can be seen that infants lack vitamin A, which not only leads to dry skin, but also abnormal conditions such as flaking and keratinization. If touched by hand, it feels like touching on coarse sand.
Of course, by observing a baby's skin, it can be found that the skin on the baby's limbs, shoulders, and other areas will be dry compared to at home. Because vitamin A deficiency affects the skin of infants, parents must pay attention to the daily diet of their babies. Breast milk or cow's milk consumed by infants contains abundant vitamin A, which is also an important way for infants to obtain vitamin A.
When the baby grows up and can eat complementary foods, parents can give the baby some vegetables, eggs, and other foods that can help the baby obtain the necessary vitamin A for the body. Of course, it is also recommended that parents take their babies for relevant examinations, as infants with diarrhea, especially long-term diarrhea, can also lead to vitamin A deficiency.
