The health of babies is the most concerned thing for parents, and many mothers exhaust their brains every day thinking about how to do it to make their babies grow up healthier and happier. Supplementing zinc for babies is also a headache for many mothers, especially for babies who are only one year old. What should they eat for zinc supplementation?
Supplementing one year old babies with zinc is the best choice. It is recommended to give babies zinc containing foods such as shrimp skin, peanuts, fish meal, seaweed, pig liver, sesame seeds, etc. You can use a juice extractor to grind pig liver and peanuts and boil them in white rice porridge. After they are served and cooled, they can be fed to the baby. Because feeding pig liver and peanuts directly to babies may cause them to swallow.
In addition to the foods mentioned above, some shellfish are also rich in zinc. For example, oysters have a high zinc content, so moms can make seafood soup at home, which can be consumed by the whole family. If your baby doesn't like seafood or is allergic to seafood, you can give them some nuts such as walnuts and chestnuts, which are also rich in zinc.
Baby zinc deficiency has the following symptoms
Firstly, babies may exhibit a state of anorexia, showing a refusal to eat many foods no matter how much they try to coax them; Furthermore, if a baby shows a preference for eating strange and unusual things, such as dirt, toys, hair, etc., it is also a sign of zinc deficiency.
