What is the reason for anemia in three-month-old babies?

Parents are the most anxious when their children become sick, but now babies up to three months old always suffer from anemia. At this time, many parents are confused as to why such a young child would suffer from anemia. On the one hand, understanding the causes of some diseases can better cure children's diseases, and it is also to solve the confusion of parents and help children recover their health in time. So, what is the reason for anemia in babies at three months?

1. Antepartum bleeding is mainly transplacental blood loss, including fetal-placental bleeding, fetal-maternal blood transfusion and inter-twin blood transfusion. Because the bleeding is hidden, the amount of bleeding varies, and the bleeding speed can be rapid or slow, the clinical manifestations are different.

2. Blood loss during delivery is mostly caused by obstetric accidents, placenta and umbilical cord malformations during delivery.

(1) Placental abnormalities: Severe blood loss often occurs in placenta previa, early placental abruption, or mis-cutting of the placenta during cesarean section. Multilobed placenta is the most common placental malformation. Each lobe sends a fragile venous branch to the placenta, which is prone to rupture and bleeding.

(2) Umbilical cord abnormalities: A normal umbilical cord may bleed suddenly due to excessive pulling. Umbilical cord malformations include umbilical cord hemangioma and aberrant vessels. The latter is that the umbilical cord branches out into one or more blood vessels before reaching its implantation site. The blood vessels have thin walls and lack the protection of the umbilical cord jelly-like tissue, making them very easy to rupture. The umbilical cord is implanted in the placenta in a velamentous manner, and the blood vessels also pass through the amnion and chorion without protection. The bleeding rate is 1% to 2%.

3. Postnatal blood loss Postnatal blood loss is mostly caused by umbilical, gastrointestinal and internal bleeding. In recent years, blood loss caused by diagnostic blood drawing in hospitals has also increased.

The diet of infants and young children should be properly balanced and complementary foods should be added on time. Avoid exclusive breastfeeding for a long time. Here are two recommended recipes:
