Low immunity is a very common physical condition, and many mothers are worried that it is a signal of poor health for their babies. They will also ask other mothers how to supplement nutrition, what vitamins to supplement, and what they should pay attention to in their daily lives. So, let's take a look at how many vitamins to take for those with low immunity?
Low immunity, how many vitamins should I take
Vitamin C, also known as "ascorbic acid", is an effective antioxidant in the human body that can enhance the body's immunity. It is also known as an "immune enhancer". The healthy growth of babies cannot be separated from the supply of various nutrients. As new parents, parents are most concerned about the nutritional balance of their babies, and vitamin C is the vitamin that the human body needs the most. In real life, there are many babies who suffer from respiratory diseases such as colds and pneumonia due to a lack of vitamin C causing a decrease in resistance. So enhancing a baby's immunity requires supplementing with vitamin C.
How much vitamin C do I need to supplement
This question should be judged based on the baby's age and physical condition. For babies aged 0-6 months who are exclusively breastfed, mothers should ensure that their daily intake of vitamin C is sufficient, so that the baby does not need to supplement extra. Breast milk has a high content of vitamin C, with about 2-6 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 milliliters of breast milk. Artificially fed babies do not need to supplement additional vitamin C as long as their daily milk intake meets the standard. Generally, infant formula milk powder has comprehensive and balanced nutritional components, similar to breast milk, and contains various nutrients such as vitamin C, which can meet the growth needs of babies.
Babies aged 6-12 months have shifted their intake of various nutrients towards complementary foods. Therefore, it is important to choose foods rich in vitamin C and make them into fruit juice, vegetable juice, vegetable puree, etc. Therefore, babies do not need to supplement with additional vitamin C. After 12 months of age, complementary foods gradually become the main diet for babies as they develop and grow. At this point, it is important to ensure sufficient supply of fresh vegetables, fruits, and other foods rich in vitamin C in the diet, so there is usually no need to supplement with additional vitamin C.
Nutrition is very important for babies, and mothers should not forget to supplement their nutrition while taking care of their little ones' daily lives. This concerns various indicators of height and weight for babies. In order for babies to grow up healthily, mothers must pay more attention to their diet and eat some vitamins appropriately.
