Some children will be anemic because nutrition can't keep up. Anemia will have a great impact on children's growth and development, so parents should give their children blood transfusion in time. There are many foods with high iron content that can play a good role in enriching blood, because iron is the main component of human blood. For example, parents can make red date porridge for their babies, and there are many more. After eating other foods, you can replenish blood in the future. Let's take a look at how to make porridge and blood for children.

Children are enriched with blood because of anemia,

Nutritional anemia refers to a disease with low hematopoietic function due to the lack of nutrients necessary for hematopoiesis, such as iron, folic acid, vitamin D, etc. More common in infants from 6 months to 2 years old.

Modern medicine divides this disease into two types: small cell anemia and large cell anemia.

Anemia in children

Nutritional anemia refers to a disease with low hematopoietic function due to the lack of nutrients necessary for hematopoiesis, such as iron, folic acid, vitamin D, etc. More common in infants from 6 months to 2 years old.

Modern medicine divides this disease into two types: small cell anemia and large cell anemia.

The former is also called iron deficiency anemia, which is more common in infants from 6 months to 1 year. Mainly because babies grow fast and need a lot of iron. However, the iron content of human milk and milk is too low to meet the growth needs of infants. At this time, if iron-containing complementary food is not added in time, iron deficiency anemia will occur.

The latter is also called megaloblastic anemia [1], which mostly occurs in children under 2 years old. The main reason is that the content of vitamin D2 and folic acid in children's diet is insufficient, or the amount of intestinal bacteria synthesis is insufficient, which makes red blood cells mature.

The onset of the disease is relatively slow, and the mild symptoms are pale or yellow skin and mucous membranes, especially the mouth, gums, eyelids and nails. Severe anemia can be seen as dizziness, general fatigue, irritability, loss of appetite and so on. Children are often accompanied by malnutrition. Some also eat clods, cinders, wall mud and so on. Anemia for a long time will lead to growth and development disorders.
