If a 6-month-old baby experiences fatigue, parents need to check if the baby is malnourished. Once a baby suffers from long-term malnutrition, it may lead to weight loss, slow growth and development, and recurrent colds and fever. So, what nutrients should a 6-month-old baby supplement with?
Six month old infants should be supplemented with some vitamins and trace elements, as follows. Firstly, six month old infants are in a high-speed period of growth and development, and should be specially supplemented with some iron elements, especially for premature infants or infants with weak constitutions, which are prone to anemia. Iron elements can promote the increase of hemoglobin. Effective prevention of anemia.
The intake of vitamin D is also very important. Because vitamin D can promote the absorption and utilization of trace elements such as calcium/phosphorus in the baby's body. So the intake of vitamin D is the foundation of all trace element intake, when necessary. Parents can consult a doctor and give their children a certain amount of vitamin D intake.
Trace element zinc is crucial for the health of the baby's digestive system. When zinc deficiency occurs, the baby may experience indigestion, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and other symptoms. However, supplementing zinc cannot be done blindly, and it also needs to be supplemented based on the doctor's examination results. Many complementary foods can add iron and zinc elements to improve the nutritional structure of babies.
