The most worrying thing for a mother is definitely about the baby. In addition to constantly caring about the baby's safety, the health condition is also not allowed to be careless. However, before the age of three, the various functions of the baby's body have not fully developed, which inevitably leads to some health problems. What should we do if a 3-year-old baby is malnourished?
1. Supplement trace elements
Baby malnutrition is closely related to trace elements in the body. If the baby's body lacks multiple trace elements, it will affect nutrient absorption. At this point, the mother needs to take the baby to the hospital as soon as possible for blood tests to check the status of trace elements in the body, and then provide targeted supplements. Especially iron element is crucial and must be supplemented with emphasis.
2. Strengthen the spleen and stomach
In fact, many babies suffer from malnutrition due to disharmony between the spleen and stomach. If mothers want their babies to have a strong body, they need to first regulate their spleen and stomach. It is recommended that mothers use traditional Chinese medicine decoctions to regulate their babies, as the effect is better than Western medicine. If your baby rejects the taste of Chinese medicine, you can also give your baby traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations granules, and the effect is also good.
3. Exercise more
If the baby goes to bed directly after every meal and hardly exercises, it will lead to food accumulation. To help babies digest food in their intestines and stomach as quickly as possible, it is necessary to encourage them to exercise more. Take your baby outdoors to play more often, and while exercising, you can also get more exposure to sunlight, thereby improving your body's immunity.
