Under normal circumstances, when the baby is a few months old, breast milk needs enough nutrition for the baby to grow up, and it is not necessary to supplement the baby by other means. As we know, the baby's iron deficiency is easy to cause anemia, sometimes manifested as loss of appetite, vomiting, dizziness, tinnitus and other symptoms. If parents don't pay attention to the baby's iron deficiency, it will lead to heart failure in severe cases.

How does the baby supplement iron?

1. Boil water in a pot, add millet, spinach and pork liver (pork liver should be fresh, and cooked in advance to remove the fishy smell when you come back), and boil. When millet and pork liver are soft and rotten, add a little salt to taste. Pig liver has the highest iron content in animal liver, and it is very beneficial for babies with iron deficiency to eat this porridge.

2. It is best for babies to breastfeed. It is recommended to add complementary food after six months. When adding complementary food, give your baby food with high iron content and easy absorption. Animal liver, egg yolk, chicken and duck blood can be used.

3. If the baby is short of iron under the doctor's diagnosis and needs iron supplementation, it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice. Some babies will have symptoms such as nausea and gastrointestinal discomfort when supplementing iron, and the dosage should be reduced under the guidance of a doctor.

If the baby's body does not have very serious iron deficiency symptoms, it is recommended not to supplement iron to the baby indiscriminately, because it is a three-point poison, which has adverse effects on the baby's body and will be counterproductive. If the baby needs iron supplementation after reaching a certain age, it is best to use diet therapy to supplement iron.
