Question

The seven-month-old baby was diagnosed with anemia during a hospital examination, and the mother also has anemia. What should be done?

Answer

If the anemia in the seven-month-old baby is not severe, it can be improved by increasing the intake of iron-rich foods such as pork liver, spinach, kelp, black fungus, clams, and beef. If the baby has already started drinking formula milk, consider giving some iron-fortified formula. For the mother, using an iron pot for cooking is also a good method, and adding iron-rich foods like chicken, fish, and nori to the diet is recommended.
