If your baby doesn't absorb the milk powder, add more trace elements!

When babies reach a certain age, they need to rely on milk powder to supplement calcium, but some babies find it difficult to absorb milk powder. In this case, it is possible that the problem is with the milk powder. Parents can try changing the milk powder for their baby and also supplement more vitamin C.

1. Performance

If the baby absorbs nutrients well, you can tell from the baby's poop. Generally, well-absorbed poop is in strips. You can also see that the baby has gained weight. Observe the stool, check the height and weight, and pay attention to the baby's daily condition. The concentration of milk powder should be proportional to the age of the child, and its concentration should gradually increase with age in months. If it is too concentrated, the nutritional concentration of milk will increase and exceed the gastrointestinal digestion and absorption limit of infants and young children. Not only will they be unable to digest it, but it may also damage the digestive organs, causing diarrhea, constipation, loss of appetite, and even refusal to eat. Over time, not only will their weight fail to increase, but it may also cause damage to their liver and kidney functions, and even lead to disease.

2. Strategy

If the baby does not absorb the milk powder, you can supplement some vitamin C to promote iron absorption. In addition, some foods containing citric acid, vitamin A, animal protein, fructose and sorbitol can also promote iron absorption.

3. Reasons

Milk powders are all similar, and none is particularly easy to absorb. It may also be that the baby's milk powder is not suitable, causing the child to not absorb the milk powder. It is recommended to change to other milk powders and check trace elements if necessary to confirm whether there is zinc deficiency.
