Question
My child has been crying a lot recently and doesn’t eat much. How can I improve the iron deficiency in my baby?
Answer
When a child lacks these trace elements, it’s crucial to encourage them to get as many as possible from their diet. Calcium sources include dairy products, fish, nuts, and dark green leafy vegetables; iron is abundant in animal livers, meats, poultry, egg yolks, and legumes; zinc is found in meat, fish, eggs, shrimp shells, and nuts. With reasonable food choices and timely supplementation, parents can help improve the child’s symptoms.
