It is about to enter April, and it is the season when grass grows and warblers fly and everything grows. However, at this time, the baby's "enemy", the pathogenic bacteria, also took the opportunity to show arrogance. So what can be done to help the baby strengthen his body during this period, strengthen his immunity, and keep the "bad guys" who threaten his health out of the city walls?
What is immunity
First of all, before explaining how to improve your baby's immunity, let's talk about the importance of immunity. The human immune system has many functions, it can not only help the body to recognize and eliminate foreign invading viruses and bacteria, but also deal with death, damage, aging, degeneration of cells, it is actually a defense mechanism of the human body itself, since the birth of the baby, it has been in the process of continuous improvement.
Causes of immunosuppression
So since after birth, immunity is constantly improving, why is the baby still immune to low?
1, the baby's body lack of vitamins, trace elements, minerals, protein and other substances, when the baby malnutrition, the immunity to resist the disease will decline.
2. Congenital factors lead to poor congenital immunity, also known as congenital immunodeficiency. Some babies often have colds and fevers since birth, so this phenomenon is most likely caused by the baby's congenital immunity, and this defect needs to be examined by a professional doctor for specific reasons before it can be prescribed.
3, long-term sleep is not good, there are relevant scientific studies have shown that long-term sleep will reduce the number of antiviral cells in the body, the probability of disease will also increase.
4, there is no normal amount of exercise, or no amount of exercise for a long time, will cause low immunity, so whether it is an adult or a baby, you should appropriately increase the time of exercise. However, it is worth noting that excessive exercise can also cause damage to the body, shorten the lifespan of white blood cells, and lead to a decline in immunity.
How to boost immunity
1, breastfeeding is preferred, because breast milk contains an immunoglobulin A, which can protect babies to establish their own immune system, can promote the growth of cells in the inner wall of the intestine, and well protect the digestive system.
When breast milk conditions are limited, parents can also choose a high-quality formula for the baby, such as the Uberim milk powder I chose for my baby, which not only contains high-quality DHA and AA, which is very beneficial to the baby's intellectual development, but also has a cheese ratio of up to 9:1, which can provide more comprehensive immune protection for the baby. In addition, the probiotics contained in milk powder are also very beneficial to the development of the baby's intestinal flora, which can help the baby absorb nutrients more comprehensively and grow healthier.
2, timely addition of complementary foods to the baby, in the baby's 4-6 months to start adding complementary food, also has a very important role in the immune system.
3, let the baby carry out appropriate exercise exercises, exercise can not only enhance their own physique and immunity, but also can effectively promote the metabolism in the body, so that the baby's bones develop better.
4. Ensure sufficient work and rest time, adequate sleep can quickly restore physical fitness, which is of great significance to the construction of the immune system.
Finally, Xiaobian wants to tell you that helping babies improve immunity is a gradual process, and we parents need to start from small things, and parents must not be too hasty.
