Parents are very worried about babies developing anemia, but blindly rushing is useless. If anemia is found in the baby, timely treatment should be sought to avoid worsening of the condition. Everyone knows that there are many types of anemia. So, is the baby suffering from anemia due to iron deficiency?
Most babies with anemia are due to iron deficiency, as they can only obtain iron from breast milk after birth. Once they are separated from breast milk, they need to obtain a large amount of iron from food. If sufficient iron is not obtained, iron deficiency anemia may occur. But not all babies with anemia are due to iron deficiency. Parents need to take their babies to the hospital for detailed examinations to facilitate the treatment of the condition.
If your baby's anemia is caused by iron deficiency, you can usually give your baby more food with high iron content, such as Rice noodles, animal liver, spinach, etc. If the baby's anemia is caused by other reasons, dietary therapy can also be used. But if the anemia is quite special, medication treatment is needed.
Parents can usually give their babies some blood nourishing foods or fresh fruits, such as oranges, papayas, apples, bananas, and so on. In addition, parents should pay extra attention to their baby's condition and it is best to take them to the hospital for regular check ups to see if the baby's anemia has improved.
