Causes of anemia in babies

There are many possible reasons for baby anemia, some are physiological anemia, some are thalassemia, and some are anemia caused by food nutrition. For thalassemia, which is caused by heredity and is very difficult to treat, it is recommended to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time. For iron deficiency anemia, you can eat more red dates, black fungus and other foods rich in iron. Food therapy can improve the baby's anemia as early as possible.

Excluding the reason that modern unscrupulous doctors promote various nutrients and every child claims to be lacking this or that, it is mostly because the children's spleen and stomach digestion and absorption functions are poor. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the spleen produces blood and the liver stores blood. It is best to buy organic, non-GMO food for children, and avoid eating too much high-protein, high-calorie food as these foods are difficult to digest. Then go to bed early and get more sleep.

The reason for this is that when the baby is 4 months old, the iron brought from the mother is almost used up. Whether it is breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, the iron content is insufficient. Complementary food should be added in time, and the baby should eat more egg yolks, vegetables, whole grains, pork liver, fish, etc. The main causes of iron deficiency are:

1. The body's demand for iron increases while the intake is relatively insufficient. Infants and young children grow very fast. Normally, their weight doubles within 5 months after birth and doubles at 1 year old. After 4 to 6 months, the iron stored in infants and young children has been gradually consumed. If they are only fed with breast milk, which is low in iron, it may lead to iron deficiency anemia. Women of childbearing age need more iron due to pregnancy and breastfeeding. In addition, digestive dysfunction during pregnancy leads to poor iron intake and absorption, which can easily lead to anemia.

2. Iron absorption disorder Chronic anemia Heme iron in animal foods can be directly absorbed by the human body in the form of porphyrin iron with a higher absorption rate. The absorption of non-heme iron depends on factors such as gastrointestinal solubility. Various factors can hinder the absorption of iron.

The above are the reasons why babies suffer from anemia. The reasons for anemia are very complicated. You can go to the hospital for a specific examination, and then make a confirmed diagnosis and prescribe the right medicine, so that the baby can recover faster. I hope these information can solve your problem, thank you! I wish your baby good health and healthy growth!
