Prevention Of Iron Deficiency - Starting From The Baby

Iron is an important element of hemoglobin and various enzymes. Whether it is infants or adults, a certain amount of iron is needed every day. Especially when children are 1 to 4 years old, the need for iron is the most common time in a person's life. Almost the demand for adult men is about 1.0 mg per day. Easy to take care of baby with EASBABY baby carriers, kids onesie pajamas, diaper bags and other baby products, all products are carefully designed to make moms easier.

Long-term iron deficiency reduces the cognitive ability of infants and young children, even after iron supplementation is difficult to recover. Such children are crying, irritable, responsive to new things, not excited about the environment, and do not like to pay attention to certain things for a long time. Because of lack of attention and persistence, they are considered to be personality disorders and mood disorders, and even considered to be ADHD. These children have lower language and operational skills than normal children when doing smart tests.
Long-term iron deficiency significantly affects physical endurance because of the iron deficiency that impairs oxidative metabolism in muscle. At the same time, immunity and anti-infective ability will also decrease. Iron deficiency anemia causes the body's ability to maintain body temperature in a cold environment to be impaired, which increases lead absorption and increases the chance of lead poisoning. So you have to correct your baby's iron deficiency anemia in time, don't leave regrets.

For exclusively breastfed children, their mothers should eat more iron-rich foods, supplement iron-containing rice flour in 6 months, and then gradually supplement iron-rich foods. For artificially fed babies, you should choose a formula that strengthens iron (the current formula is reinforced iron.)

For children diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia, you should ensure that you eat more iron-rich foods, and take some vitamin C-rich fruits, vegetables or vitamin C preparations to promote iron absorption. At the same time, iron can be selected for treatment. Most iron tablets may stimulate the gastrointestinal tract, so it is recommended to take between meals. After treatment, the effect is good, but taking iron for 6-8 weeks can reach normal level, because the purpose of treatment is not only to restore hemoglobin level, but also to ensure the body's iron storage.
