What should I eat if my 10-month-old baby is anemic?

The problem of anemia has always been a major problem endangering children's health. Spleen caused by iron deficiency. Now with the progress of the times, although daily diet is constantly improving, the number of babies seeking medical treatment due to anemia has not decreased. Not only did it not decrease in the baby, but it was still increasing. Next, we will talk about what is good for a ten-month-old baby with anemia to eat, as well as some precautions.

There are two possibilities for anemia. First go to the hospital to determine which situation it is. If it is mild anemia, dietary supplements can be used. For example, feed your baby more animal liver, tomatoes, red dates, black fungus and other foods that are not rich in iron. You can feed some egg yolks or beef. Babies who are already ten months old can get iron from food. Of course, if the baby is severely poor, you can still directly feed him things like Yir Iron.

Choose foods rich in vitamin C. Among the fruits suitable for babies, lemons, oranges, strawberries and other fruits have higher vitamin C content. You may let your baby eat more of them on a regular basis. You can choose more vegetables rich in vitamins such as bell peppers and tomatoes as complementary foods for your baby.

This period is also the golden period of brain development. Iron deficiency affects the development of the brain and nerves. If iron deficiency is not corrected in time, even if the anemia is improved after this golden period, the impact of iron deficiency on the brain and nerves will be irreversible. Iron supplements and lactoferrin can be used for anemia. Iron supplements have serious side effects, including nausea, vomiting, constipation, and diarrhea. Doctors do not recommend iron supplements for children under one year old as babies have delicate gastrointestinal tracts and are highly irritated. Iron supplements can also promote the occurrence of infection (iron is also an essential trace element for bacterial growth and reproduction). Lactoferrin (which has a high affinity for iron and competes with bacteria for iron) has no side effects, children love it, and it works well!
