Question
A pale complexion in children may be a sign of malnutrition. Particularly, insufficient breast milk or poor nutrition can affect the quality of breast milk. How can this issue be addressed?
Answer
For infants aged 2 to 3 months, it’s time to introduce complementary feeding, such as fresh fruit or vegetable juices, twice a day, gradually increasing the quantity. This helps the baby absorb vitamin C and other nutrients. For infants over 4 months old, iron reserves in the body may be depleted, so iron-rich foods like egg yolks should be provided and the quantity gradually increased. Additionally, small amounts of apple puree, vegetable puree, or fish puree can also be offered.
