First, what trace elements does the baby lack? If the baby is thin and light, it is necessary to go to the hospital to find the reason and see if there is any abnormality in absorption and digestion. In addition, you need to check whether there is zinc deficiency, iron deficiency and anemia in trace elements. Only after checking the trace elements can the baby be reasonably supplemented with some trace elements.
Second, what are the reasons for the baby's lack of trace elements? 1, improper feeding. If it is found that the baby lacks trace elements, it may be caused by improper feeding, such as some eating habits of the baby, picky eaters and anorexia. These are very easy to cause the baby to lack trace elements, especially the baby who is prone to zinc deficiency, which usually affects the appetite and leads to insufficient intake of some nutrients.
2, improper diet. If the diet is not properly matched, it will also lead to the lack of trace elements. If you lack some animal food for a long time, or eat some improperly processed food for a long time, it will lead to the imbalance of trace elements in your baby.
3. There are obstacles in the absorption of trace elements. Some plant foods contain plant acid salts. If it is combined with zinc, it will form insoluble compounds, which will affect the baby's absorption of zinc. Therefore, some bad eating habits will lead to poor digestive system of the baby, thus reducing the absorption of zinc.
4. Too many trace elements are lost. If the baby has chronic diarrhea for a long time, or has repeated bleeding and hemolysis, and the urine excretion increases, it will cause excessive loss of trace elements. In addition, if the baby exercises too much, it will cause a lot of sweating, which will also cause the loss of some trace elements.
