Exclusive breastfeeding easy to anemia

    Professor Wang Fuxia that she encountered in clinical practice a lot of iron deficiency anemia in children, their parents have a common misunderstanding is that breast-nutrition comprehensive volume is sufficient, together with their children do not want a different taste, so the parents give up of adding complementary feeding or just add a small amount of supplementary food.

    As everyone knows, breast milk iron content is low, 100 grams of breast milk iron content is generally not more than 0.5 milligrams of exclusive breastfeeding longer, the children of iron deficiency anemia occurs more likely, according to statistics, the implementation of exclusive breastfeeding of children anemia incidence of 43.93%. Therefore, the parents do not because of the amount of feet to postpone breast-added food supplement.

    Milk, eggs can not be iron supplementation

    Professor Wang Fuxia pointed out that many parents give their children a timely manner while adding milk and eggs, but kids will still anemia, because the milk, eggs can not meet the child's iron requirements.

    It turned out that 1000 ml of milk contains only 0.5-2.0 mg of iron, and 1-year-olds each day from food intake of 6 mg of iron. In addition, the absorption rate of iron in milk is very low, only 10%; Also, milk does not contain the promotion of iron absorption of vitamin C, copper.

    Professor Wang Fuxia said, egg protein content and rich in iron content of egg yolk is not low, but the egg yolk with the phosphate-binding iron in the state, absorption rate is not high, and the eggs inside the iron and protein binding stability, heating is not free, intestinal absorption can not, can not meet the needs of the child for iron.

    4 months after adding iron-rich foods

    Professor Wang pointed out that six months of age the infant is in a strong period of growth, anemia occurs only after the occurrence of anorexia, crying Ainao and so on, is also vulnerable to repeated colds and mental development will be tarnished. Therefore, parents must start from the prevention of: First of all, breast-feeding infants and young children should be added after 4 months of iron fortification of food, such as enhanced rice, etc.; second, can not be broken, or breast-feeding, breast-feeding infants and young children, it is recommended with formula feeding; Third, we should note that you want to add more iron-containing foods such as minced meat, liver paste, etc.; Finally, we must replenish fruit and vegetables, because vegetables and fruits in vitamin C can promote the absorption of iron in food
