Breast milk is a very good food for baby feeding, but babies who are exclusively breastfed are prone to anemia for the following reasons: 1, low iron content in breast milk: iron is a very important raw material for red blood cell synthesis, and anemia can easily occur when there is iron deficiency. Due to the low content of iron in breast milk, as the baby grows older, especially after 6 months, breast milk gradually fails to meet the baby’s daily requirement of iron, resulting in babies who are exclusively breastfed are more likely to suffer from anemia; 2, the mother’s own iron deficiency: if the mother eats less iron-rich food, the iron content in breast milk will be even less, which cannot meet the baby’s growth needs. Some mothers have the habit of eating vegetarian food, which will cause too little iron intake, resulting in very low iron content in breast milk, making the child prone to anemia. Many parents have a misconception that breast milk is good for the child’s nutrition, so they hope to exclusively breastfeed their children for as long as possible, but in fact, the duration of exclusive breastfeeding should not be too long. Usually you can give your child iron-rich foods such as fortified rice powder, egg yolk or liver puree.
