Anemia is a common clinical condition in which the body’s peripheral hemoglobin is reduced below the lower limit of the normal range.The diagnostic criteria developed by WHO considers anemia to be diagnosed at sea level below the following levels of hemoglobin: below 110 g/L for children aged 6 months to 6 years, and below 120 g/L for children aged 6 – 14 years. Anemia is classified as hemolytic anemia (i.e., anemia with excessive destruction of red blood cells); blood loss anemia; erythropoietic anemia, including nutritional anemia, aplastic anemia, and other diseases of the blood system. The most common cause of anemia in infants and young children is iron deficiency, as hemoglobin requires sufficient iron to allow the red blood cells to do their “job. Iron deficiency anemia occurs when infants do not get enough iron in their diet or lose too much iron due to microbleeding in the intestines. If your baby has anemia, parents can do this: 1. Give your baby iron supplements: If your baby’s anemia is serious, in addition to increasing the iron-rich diet, your doctor may also prescribe some iron supplements, and after taking iron supplements until the hemoglobin level returns to normal, you will need to eat for another 1 – 2 months to restore the iron reserves in your baby’s body. 2, after the birth of the baby try to breastfeed: if no breast milk need to formula feeding, infant formula is fortified with iron, postpone giving the baby to drink ordinary milk. The American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Nutrition recommends that parents preferably start milk as the main source of nutrition after the toddler is one year old, milk has a low iron content and a high incidence of milk allergy, allergic children, the intestinal wall will have trace bleeding and increased iron loss. 3. Give young children iron-rich foods. The best iron-rich foods for young children include: beef, lamb, dark meat of poultry (such as leg meat), fish (tuna and wild salmon), egg yolk, animal liver, soy products, and fungus are all iron-rich foods.
