But compared with babies who don't eat long meat but are in good mental and physical condition, picky eaters and anorexia babies make their mothers more anxious. After all, not eating means that nutrition cannot keep up. What should I do? "curve saves the country"! Who hasn't hoarded nutritional supplements such as calcium, iron, zinc and probiotics?
Probiotics with bad appetite and spleen and stomach
Probiotics can be described as a magical existence that occupies half of the baby's daily diet. It seems that the baby's diarrhea, constipation, allergies and other problems can be combined with probiotics, especially in the case of poor appetite and indigestion, arrange probiotics to "take the lead."
What needs to be clear is that probiotics are really useful, but they cannot be used as a "panacea" for babies. Even if there are no side effects, it is super expensive (it is not fragrant to buy some educational toys for the baby).
If the mother is worried about the baby's appetite and gastrointestinal problems, she can take the baby to do intestinal flora test to find out what kind of probiotics the baby lacks, ask the doctor if it will cause indigestion and loss of appetite, and then "prescribe the right medicine". Whenever you believe in doctors and science, it is always right.
In addition, the choice of probiotics also requires mothers to polish their eyes and identify seven strains and nine strain numbers approved by the state. Be careful not to confuse it with lactic acid bacteria drinks that babies like to drink in the market.
Not long? How should calcium, iron and zinc be supplemented?
No mother wants her baby to grow up healthily. However, because of poor appetite, mothers take it for granted that all kinds of nutrients needed by the baby's body have not been supplemented, so they move all kinds of nutritional supplements to their homes, the most common of which are calcium, iron and zinc.
Calcium deficiency
As the biggest "back-carrying person", calcium deficiency has become the chief culprit of all problems such as night sweats, grinding teeth, late teething and not growing up.
But in fact, according to the reference intake of calcium required by babies of different ages (0-6 months, 200 mg/d; 7- 12 months, 250 mg/day; 1-3 years old, 600mg/d), the milk or food that children consume every day can already provide enough calcium sources for their babies.
For example, sesame sauce, shrimp skin, river shrimp, tofu, cabbage and other common foods have good calcium content. If the baby is seriously picky about food, it can be supplemented with dairy products. You know, dairy products (including fresh milk, yogurt, cheese, formula milk, etc. ) is also rich in calcium. Take Blue River goat milk powder chosen by many mothers as an example. The calcium content of its natural milk is 1.5 times that of milk, which is more easily absorbed by the baby, so as long as the baby consumes enough milk every day, there is no need to supplement calcium.
Iron supplement
Compared with every mother who is keen on calcium supplementation, iron supplementation is easily overlooked. In fact, after six months, the iron reserves obtained through breast milk have been exhausted. If you don't get it from complementary food in time, it is easy to lack iron. Baby's long-term moderate iron deficiency can cause problems such as loss of appetite, decreased resistance, intellectual development, memory loss, developmental retardation, and depression.
Therefore, iron supplementation is the direction that mothers should face up to. Generally speaking, when the baby adds complementary food, in addition to choosing iron-rich rice flour, he can also arrange for the baby to eat some iron-rich red meat sauce (beef, mutton, pork liver, etc. ) and some iron-rich vegetable pastes (dried black fungus, dried laver, etc.). ) step by step and in a planned way. In addition, iron oral liquid is also a good choice.
Zinc supplementation
As a coenzyme, zinc can stimulate the activity of specific enzymes in the body and maintain the metabolic balance of the human body.
However, it needs to be clear that the human body's demand for zinc is particularly small. According to the dietary zinc reference intake of China residents, it is 0-6 months, 2 mg/d; 7- 12 months, 3.5 mg/day; 1-3 years old, 4 mg/d baby can get enough zinc from food. There are a lot of zinc-supplemented foods in daily life-oysters, as well as zinc-rich foods such as wheat germ powder, pecans and mushrooms, which can provide enough zinc for the baby.
If the baby is picky about food, it is also a good choice to eat formula every day. For example, the blue river goat milk mentioned earlier has a zinc content of 3.2mg/ 100g, which is quite excellent in the same category and has become a good choice for many mothers.
To sum up, it is not difficult for us to see that if the baby is really picky about food, mothers really need to supplement it according to scientific methods, but compared with the complexity of each nutritional supplement, a nutritious and comprehensive formula is indeed the best choice for many mothers. However, in the process of choosing formula milk powder, it is also necessary to ensure that children can digest and absorb it. Except some milk powders with prebiotics added, it is suggested to choose Lanhe goat milk powder with natural small molecular structure. # The secret of a baby's preoccupation #
You know, the average diameter of fat globules in goat's milk is one-third smaller than that of milk, which is easier to be digested and absorbed by babies. In addition, Blue River goat milk contains natural A2 protein and more short-and medium-chain fatty acids, which can not only protect the baby's intestines, but also be more friendly and natural to the baby, and it is not easy to get angry and allergic. This is also the reason why many mothers are willing to choose blue river goat milk with whole sheep formula. After all, China people have always had the tradition that "medicine tonic" is not as good as "food tonic".
Parents' beloved son, for the long term. When children are young, health must be the first priority in parents' minds, because only a strong and healthy body is the cornerstone for children to grow up and realize their dreams. Therefore, for all kinds of nutritional supplements, mothers will choose the attitude of "more than enough". But in this professional era, mothers should be rational, believe in science, and make up for food instead of food.
