What is the situation of baby's lips not rosy

We all know that rosy lips are a sign of good health. But recently some parents have noticed that their babies' lips are not as rosy as before. Moreover, the baby has recently shown some abnormal physical conditions, such as not liking to eat much. What is the reason for this? Why does the color of the baby's lips change? Now let me explain to you why your baby’s lips are not rosy.

Anemia is very likely. You can ask the doctor when getting the vaccination, and if necessary, you can do a blood test to see if your baby is anemic. Now you can add some glucose to your baby's water. There is infant glucose that can be drunk after birth.

Eat more foods high in iron, such as iron-containing formula milk, pork liver, chicken liver, chicken blood, duck blood, egg yolk, fish, beans, kelp, fresh vegetables, etc., and fruits. Because fruits contain a lot of vitamin C, which can promote the absorption of iron, daily supply should be guaranteed.

Iron deficiency anemia is preventable. The key to prevention is to scientifically arrange the baby's diet according to the baby's age characteristics.

There are three methods:

1. Ensure sufficient animal food and bean food every day. Parents should not only understand the iron content of food, but also its absorption rate. Among plant foods, foods that contain more than 10 mg of iron per 100 grams include black fungus, kelp, seaweed, longan, white fungus, tomato, black beans, soybeans, etc.; foods that contain nearly 10 mg of iron include celery, shepherd's purse, rapeseed, amaranth, dried tofu, broad beans, cowpeas, etc. Among animal foods, those that contain more than 10 mg of iron per 100 grams include pork liver, pig blood, shrimp, kelp, pig kidney, and premium yellow croaker.

1. Although spinach and eggs contain high iron content (2.5 mg and 3 mg respectively per 100 grams), their absorption rate is only 1.3-3%. On the other hand, every 100 grams of pork liver contains 25 mg of iron, pork contains 2.4 mg of iron, and beef contains 3.2 mg of iron, and their absorption rate is 22%. Among beans, soybeans contain 11 mg of iron per 100 grams, and the absorption rate is 7%. The absorption rate of iron in human milk can reach 50-70%, while that in cow's milk is only 10%.

2. Animal foods contain hemoglobin, which is easily absorbed and is not affected by other factors. However, plant foods contain substances such as oxalic acid and phosphoric acid, which will hinder the dissolution and absorption of iron.

2. Pay attention to cooking methods to improve the absorption rate of iron. The combination of fruits and vegetables can improve the absorption rate of iron in plant foods. Fresh fruits and vegetables contain a lot of vitamin C, which can also increase the absorption of iron. For example, stir-frying black fungus with minced meat can increase the iron absorption rate of black fungus; roasting tomatoes, minced meat, and tofu together, and making sour soup with pig blood, tofu and vinegar, the blood and vinegar both increase the iron absorption rate in tofu. Using an iron pan or iron shovel to cook food can allow the iron powder that falls off to combine with the food, increasing iron intake and absorption rate. When cooking in an iron boiler, you can add some vinegar to make the iron into divalent iron, which promotes the absorption and utilization of iron.

3. Pay attention to the family diet therapy for anemia. Anemia in infants leads to weak spleen and stomach, so the principle is to nourish qi and blood, and strengthen the spleen and stomach: Longan and jujube soup (20 grams of longan, 10 jujubes, remove the core, wash and add appropriate amount of water to cook for 20 minutes, take the soup to drink). Three beans and three sugars porridge (30 grams each of red beans, mung beans, and peanut kernels, 10 grams each of brown sugar, white sugar, and rock sugar. First add appropriate amount of water and cook the three beans into porridge, then add the three sugars and drink after dissolving).

Babies of this age are prone to iron deficiency anemia. You can feed them more lean meat and beef, and stew them until they are soft before feeding them to them. At the same time, don't forget to give your baby more fruits, because fruits can promote the absorption of iron, and the baby will naturally get better gradually. If the condition is more serious, you should buy some ferrous sulfate for him to drink.

If your baby's lips are not rosy enough, it may be due to anemia, or it may be nothing serious and the lip color is just light. Some babies' lips are like this, not very red, but it is normal. Don't worry too much. Check it out with a routine blood test during the physical examination.

The above is the answer to why your baby’s lips are not rosy. Once a similar situation occurs, your baby is likely to show symptoms of anemia, and parents must pay attention to it. In daily life, you can give your baby more nutritious meals, such as black fungus, etc., and you can also give your baby some fruits after meals. I believe that after a period of time your baby's lips will become rosy.
