How to supplement iron for two-year-old babies

Parents certainly hope that their children can grow up healthily. In the process of growth, various trace elements needed by the body are indispensable. The most common problem is iron deficiency in children. Therefore, how to supplement iron has become a concern for parents, as it may have adverse effects on the child's health. So, how does a two-year-old baby supplement iron? Let’s take a detailed look at the dietary therapy methods for children to supplement iron.

Pork liver puree: Liver is the food with the highest iron content and is also rich in many nutrients, which can effectively prevent iron deficiency anemia. Every 100 grams of pork liver contains 25 mg of iron. Liver puree made from pork liver is easier for babies to absorb.

Method: Wash the pork liver, cut it horizontally, remove the membrane and fat, put it on a chopping board, and chop it into a paste with a knife. Put the pork liver paste into a bowl, add two drops of sesame oil, a little salt and soy sauce and mix well. Steam it for 20-30 minutes. Finally, chop the scraped pork liver paste with the back of a knife to make it more delicate, and finally mix it with seasonings and feed it to the baby.

Animal blood clots: The iron absorption rate of animal blood is generally very high. The utilization rate of iron in animal blood such as chicken blood, pig blood, and duck blood is 12%. In addition, animal blood clots are very tender and smooth after being cooked, and are easy for babies to break down and absorb.

Method: Wash the pig blood and blanch it in boiling water, then remove it and drain. Then cut the pig blood into small cubes and put them on a plate for later use. Pour meat broth or chicken broth into the pot, and when the broth boils, pour in pig blood and bring to a boil. After cooking for about 8 to 10 minutes, add the cabbage and chopped green onion. After boiling for another 2 to 3 minutes, add chicken stock and a drop of sesame oil and serve in a bowl.

Egg yolk soup: Egg yolk is very nutritious, especially egg yolk. Although every 100 grams of egg yolk contains 7 mg of iron, egg yolk is easy to prepare and is a home-cooked dish. It can be made into egg yolk soup, which is especially easy for babies to absorb iron. However, it should be noted that some babies are allergic to protein and cannot eat egg yolk.

Method: Egg yolk paste: Boil the eggs in boiling water, take them out and let them cool, peel the shells and take out 1/4 of the egg yolk, put it in a bowl, and crush it into paste with a spoon. Pour a little warm water into the egg yolk paste and stir well. Egg yolk soup: Grind the cooked egg yolk, add broth and grind until smooth, add fine salt and steam for about 10 minutes. Make sure the egg yolk is ground. Grind evenly without any lumps.

The above is an introduction to some dietary therapy methods for iron supplementation for two-year-old babies. I hope it will be helpful to parents. If a child is iron deficient, parents must not blindly supplement the child with iron. The best way is to adopt diet therapy. You can also supplement the child with other necessary substances. This can achieve more effective results. Parents must pay attention to this.
