If the baby suffers from malnutrition, it means that there is something wrong with the child's diet. Parents should pay attention to adjusting the feeding method and help the child to supplement nutrition in time. If possible, it is best to check what kind of nutrients the child lacks. Generally, the malnutrition of children is protein, vitamins, zinc, calcium and other trace elements. As long as these nutrients are supplemented in time, the child can soon return to normal. If you are breastfeeding, you should pay special attention to the time of adding complementary food. The nutrition required by children at each stage is different. If you have been eating breast milk or milk, you will not be able to meet the nutritional needs of your baby. Therefore, you should add complementary food in time, otherwise it will cause malnutrition in your child. Let's take a look at what the baby is malnourished to eat.

1, vitamin-rich food: vitamins are very important nutrients, especially vitamins A, B, C and D, which will have a great impact on the baby's growth and development. If it is lacking, it will affect health. The best food source for vitamin supplementation is fresh fruits and vegetables, followed by animal liver, kidney, eggs and coarse grains, so children should eat more of these foods to improve malnutrition.

2. Eat protein-rich foods: Babies grow and develop rapidly, so they need more protein. If parents don't pay attention to their children's diet, it will easily lead to malnutrition due to insufficient intake of protein. Supplement protein to give children more milk, lean meat, fish and shrimp, eggs, soybeans and bean products.

3. Foods containing calcium and phosphorus: Trace elements such as calcium and phosphorus are essential nutrients for infant bone development, which can be ingested through foods such as milk, bean products, shrimp skin, ribs, seaweed, kelp and sesame seeds.

Infant malnutrition will affect normal growth and development if it is not improved in time, so parents and friends must pay attention to this problem. Mothers with insufficient or no breast milk should give their children more alternative foods containing high-quality protein, such as milk, goat milk, soy milk, fish and shrimp, etc., instead of letting their children eat starchy foods or feeding their babies with condensed milk. Older babies should pay attention to the correct collocation of food, appropriate intake of meat, eggs, soy products, and add enough vegetables and fruits.
