How to treat baby anemia? Because the baby is too young to eat a lot of food, it is easy to lead to unbalanced nutrition and anemia. Many parents are very upset and don't know what to do. Below I introduced how to treat the baby's anemia, hoping to help you.

How to treat baby anemia? 1 rule 1: Pay attention to adding foods with high iron content.

In addition to breast milk or milk, there are eggs, vegetables and meat in the baby's diet, which ones contain more iron?

1, let's look at vegetables first: leafy vegetables have a high iron content, the highest of which is rapeseed, reaching 5.9 mg/100g; Followed by shepherd's purse and amaranth; It is generally believed that the iron content of spinach with high iron content is only 2.9 mg/100 g, which is less than half of that of rape.

2. Let's look at meat food again: the iron content in animal liver and blood is the highest, which is 10 ~ 25mg/ 100g, which is about 0/0 times that of livestock and fish (1 ~ 3mg/ 100g); Iron in eggs is mainly concentrated in yolk, and its content is similar to that of livestock and poultry meat.

3. The iron content of the milk that the baby eats every day is relatively low, only about110 of the meat of livestock and poultry.

From this point of view, the iron content in infant complementary food, whether it is plant food or animal food, is very high.

Rule 2: The effect of iron supplementation depends on absorption.

1, baby, it's not enough to just look at the iron content in food. If the absorption rate is low, even if the iron content in food is high, the effect of iron supplementation will not be too good. There are two forms of iron in food: one is easily absorbed heme iron (also called porphyrin iron); One is inorganic iron which is not easily absorbed.

2. The iron in animal liver, blood, livestock meat, fish and egg yolk mentioned above is heme iron, which is easily absorbed by the baby and has a good iron supplement effect.

3. The iron in vegetables and milk belongs to inorganic iron. Although the iron content of vegetables is not low, the baby absorbs less after eating, and the effect of iron supplementation is not very good.

Rule 3: the addition of complementary food should be timely and reasonable.

1, when the baby is 6 months old, breast milk and milk can't fully meet the needs of physical growth and development, so it is necessary to add complementary food to the baby.

2. From the baby's 6th month, add boiled egg yolk, starting from 1/4 every day, and gradually increasing to 1/3, 1/2, 3/4 until one boiled egg is added every day.

3, from the baby 8 months, add lean meat powder, liver mud, minced fish, animal blood, gradually increase from less to more.

Vegetables are the basic food for babies after 6 months. If the leafy vegetables are blanched with boiling water, most oxalic acid can be removed, which is beneficial to the absorption of iron.

Well, regarding how to treat baby anemia, I believe that most parents have mastered the main methods through the above methods. Therefore, parents must treat their babies according to scientific basis, and don't blindly learn some folk remedies. This is not only bad for the baby's health, but also more prone to other physical problems.

How is the baby anemia treated? First of all, you need to check what kind of anemia your child belongs to and determine the blood supplement plan according to different types. Under normal circumstances, children are anemia caused by iron deficiency, so iron should be supplemented first to treat anemia.

Secondly, eat more foods with high iron content. Such as spinach and pork liver. But for children, you must chop spinach into soup, or chop pork liver into mud to make pork liver rice. Only in this way can children fully absorb nutrition.

In addition, give your child some oral iron supplements. Remember never to buy medicine for your child, and consult a professional doctor. Only in this way can we ensure that it is really effective and harmless to children.

Finally, observe the child's physical condition at any time, and take the child for routine blood examination after one month of iron supplementation. When a child is anemic, it is often accompanied by thinning hair. It is necessary to pay attention to the child's physical condition at any time, and check the child's blood routine after a period of iron supplementation to determine whether the child is still anemic.

These methods are very useful for treating anemia in children. It is suggested that when a child is found to be anemic, he must be thoroughly examined and prescribe the right medicine to ensure that the child can really replenish blood. After all, we can't care about the child's illness!

Matters needing attention

Observe the child's situation at any time and take the child for review in due course.
