If newborns are malnourished and lack various iron elements in their bodies, they may experience symptoms of anemia. Anemia not only affects the early development of babies, but also has a certain impact on their intellectual development. In severe cases, it can also damage the nervous system of the baby's brain. So what does the baby eat to prevent anemia?
If a baby shows symptoms of anemia, it must be a severe lack of iron in the body. Supplementing iron can be achieved by feeding babies breast milk or cow's milk, as well as some protein rich meats and vegetables. If you eat vegetables, you can choose rapeseed and spinach, as well as vegetables such as amaranth, which are commonly considered to be iron rich foods. If you eat meat, you usually eat more animal liver, as well as some poultry and fish meat.
For babies, relying solely on absorbing iron content from food is far from enough to supplement iron for symptoms of anemia. And if the baby's absorption of food is not good, the iron content in the food will be difficult for the baby to absorb, naturally resulting in poor iron supplementation effect.
So when mothers supplement their babies with iron, they should not only eat iron rich foods, but also eat fruits rich in vitamin C. Fruits such as sweet oranges and kiwis are rich in vitamin C. These vitamin C can effectively increase the absorption of iron in babies, thereby alleviating anemia symptoms.
