Babies need to absorb their mother's nutrients in order to survive, especially breastfeeding, which requires them to absorb their mother's nutrients. Therefore, mothers must consume rich and sufficient nutrients for their babies to absorb, so that their babies can grow up healthy. When does the baby start absorbing the mother's nutrients?
Once the possibility of pregnancy is detected, the baby is already absorbing the mother's nutrients, and the baby can only grow up after absorbing the nutrients. The nutrients that the baby receives from the mother's body are sufficient, and in the late stages of pregnancy, it is necessary to supplement the baby with more nutrients.
In addition to absorbing nutrients from their mother, babies also need to supplement some nutrients at different times to ensure that they receive comprehensive nutrition.
Vitamin D supplementation is required for babies between 15 days and 2 months of birth. In fact, at this time, it is sufficient to give the baby fish liver oil, which mainly contains vitamin A and vitamin D. Vitamin A helps with visual development, while vitamin D promotes calcium absorption. After one month of birth, DHA can be supplemented, which promotes brain development. It is best to supplement before the age of 3. Babies aged 4-6 months can start taking iron and calcium supplements. Supplementing iron can prevent iron deficiency anemia in babies. Supplementing calcium can promote the development of bones and teeth in babies, as well as enhance their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
