Symptoms of anemia in children

summary

In China, the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in children aged 7 months to 7 years is 7.8%. It is reasonable to say that with the improvement of living standards, the baby has a wide range of food and nutrition. At ordinary times, parents also take good care of them, but there are still many babies suffering from iron deficiency anemia. Let's talk about the symptoms of children's anemia.

Symptoms of anemia in children

Infants with insufficient iron reserves get the most iron from the mother in the last three months of pregnancy. Therefore, premature delivery, twins or multiple births and severe iron deficiency of the mother can make infants born with insufficient iron reserves.

Insufficient iron intake in diet is the main cause of iron deficiency anemia. Before half year old, most babies are breast fed, but the iron content of breast milk after half year old can not meet the iron demand of the baby, so long-term pure breast-feeding without timely addition of iron rich food has become an important reason for iron deficiency anemia of the baby.

With vigorous growth and development, the demand for iron increases, and the growth and development of infants and adolescence are fast, so iron is relatively insufficient. If iron containing food is not added, it will also lead to iron deficiency anemia. The consumption of iron is more, such as excessive menstruation of adolescent girls, long-term chronic diarrhea, etc.

matters needing attention

Advocate breastfeeding, do not give up breastfeeding because of low iron content in breast milk, but in about 6 months, should gradually add complementary food to the baby, such as iron formula rice paste, formula milk, beef, pork, fish, chicken, etc; Beans and some vegetables are also rich in iron, such as spinach, kelp, agaric, lentils and so on.
