Question
My baby always seems lackluster, and a hospital check-up revealed insufficient Qi and blood, with symptoms of anemia. What should I feed my baby to address iron deficiency anemia?
Answer
If a baby is anemic, it may affect their brain development and physical growth. It is recommended that you supplement with iron supplements and oral vitamins. Regularly provide your baby with foods rich in iron, such as pork liver, mushrooms, beef, spinach, black fungus, jujube, lamb shanks, seaweed, and pork. Some parents might give their babies health supplements to boost energy, but it is still advisable to be cautious with oral supplements. It’s better for babies to get their nutrients from food as much as possible.
