What to do if your one-year-old child is anemic

The birth of every baby is a hope and future for a family, so many parents love their babies more. However, many babies will inevitably encounter some problems in the process of growing up. At this time, it depends on whether the parents can discover them in time. Anemia in one-year-old children is also a common problem for newborn babies, because many one-year-old children have not been weaned yet, and anemia will occur if some nutrients are not supplemented. So what should we do if a one-year-old child is anemic? What are the treatments? Let’s find out together.

Generally, children's anemia is caused by iron deficiency anemia, which can be cured quickly through iron supplementation. Mothers can buy some Iron Tablets for their children to take regularly to supplement iron and increase hemoglobin. Generally, the child's hemoglobin will return to normal after two months of supplementation. In addition to dietary adjustments, eat more foods high in iron, such as animal liver, lean meat, fish, egg yolks, etc., and add some foods rich in vitamin C, such as oranges, tomatoes, kiwis, etc., to promote the absorption and utilization of iron. It is also recommended to use iron cooking utensils, such as iron pots and iron shovels to cook food to increase iron absorption.

Baby's anemia is mainly due to iron deficiency anemia, so the baby needs iron supplementation. If it is not serious, just take dietary supplements.
