Why is my baby always sick?

Babies who are prone to illness generally have problems with poor resistance and low immunity. In order to ensure the health of children, reduce the number of times children die, and allow children to grow up healthily, parents must take certain measures to enhance their children's resistance, such as providing children with adequate nutrition, urging children to exercise, ensuring that children have adequate sleep/eat more foods rich in calcium and protein, etc.

1. What should I do if my baby has poor resistance and is always sick?

1. Provide children with adequate nutrition

During the growth and development stage, babies have relatively high nutritional needs and require comprehensive nutrition. However, since their digestive systems are not yet perfect, they cannot eat many things when they are young. Because the nutritional supplements are relatively monotonous, it is easy to cause malnutrition, resulting in poor resistance. Therefore, in daily life, parents should appropriately add vitamin A and vitamin C to their babies to improve their resistance.

2. Take your baby for physical exercise

It has always been necessary to strengthen physical fitness in order to improve resistance. Then physical exercise should start from an early age. Generally, you can take your baby out to bask in the sun after the baby is one month old, which can improve the baby's resistance to a certain extent. If your child is older, you can often take him to the outdoor park to play or play on fitness equipment. Outdoor activities can promote the synthesis of vitamin D in children's skin, promote calcium absorption, and help the body's metabolism such as muscles and bones. Children who exercise regularly have a better appetite, so they get more nutrients and their physical fitness is significantly improved.

3. Get enough sleep

Some children need to be supervised by their parents when they sleep, especially when they take naps. Children do need to get enough sleep so that the cells in their bodies can be strong enough. Only adequate sleep can reduce the chance of illness, so children generally need to sleep more than adults, usually eight to ten hours.

2. What should babies eat if they have poor resistance?

1. Eat more calcium-rich foods

Calcium plays an important role in enhancing immunity, so parents should supplement their babies with more calcium-containing foods, such as soy milk, bone soup, seafood, etc.

2. Eat more protein-rich foods

Foods such as millet, red beans, eggs, meat, fish and milk, especially fish and meat, are high in protein.

3. Eat more tonic foods

Mushrooms such as red dates, longans and shiitake mushrooms are highly nutritious foods that can replenish physical energy and enhance immunity for babies.

4. Provide necessary fat

Fat not only strengthens your baby's immune system, but also helps improve your baby's intelligence. Since babies cannot synthesize enough plant fats on their own, parents need to use food to supplement their nutrition. Therefore, parents should try to use vegetable oil when cooking meals, and also prepare some foods with high vegetable fat content for their babies. Porridges like walnut porridge, eight-treasure porridge, peanut porridge, soups like fish soup, seafood soup, and meat dishes like rabbit meat are all good choices.
