My colleague's child is a little over 1 year old, a very cute girl, and usually my colleague always tells me interesting things about her daughter. But these two days I found that she was not in a very good mood and looked widowed. When I asked, I learned that it turned out that her daughter did not like to eat recently, and often nibbled her nails, and her nails were already very small.
Later, colleagues thought that she was deficient in calcium, so they gave the child calcium tablets for a period of time, but did not expect that it did not get better. Take it to the hospital for examination to find out that it was zinc deficiency, not the child's calcium deficiency.
For adults, as long as the child is a disadvantage or a little reaction, he thinks that the child is deficient in calcium. But sometimes children are not deficient in calcium, but are prone to zinc deficiency or iron deficiency. If you look closely at the small details of your child's life, you will find that there are many manifestations of zinc deficiency in children.
The baby's body sends out these 5 signals, not a lack of calcium but a lack of zinc, do not blindly supplement the baby.
1. Poor appetite, partial anorexia or picky eater, not interested in meals.
2. Relatively slow development compared to children of the same age, and all physical indicators are not the same as normal levels.
3. Poor resistance, frequent illness, such as colds, pneumonia and other respiratory infections.
4. Slow intellectual development, sluggish response, difficulty concentrating.
5. Hair is rare and yellowish, and there are barbs on the fingers.
It is also important to note that zinc deficiency can lead to a decrease in a child's taste sensitivity, which is why some children have pica. And the tastelessness of food, let their meal volume decrease, there is no interest in eating, once the time is long, it will also affect the child's growth and development problems, so parents must pay attention to these details.
What are the problems or symptoms of zinc deficiency?
1. Love is sick, and resistance becomes worse
Children who are deficient in zinc will become very resistant, which is what we call low immunity, and zinc is involved in the development of immune organs. Zinc deficiency will weaken the ability of the immune system to fight viruses, so that children will be easily sick, such as fever, cold will be a common thing.
2. Whitish nails and abnormal tongue
The lack of zinc can also develop our fur and skin conditions, such as nails, hair, skin, and so on. For example, in a child like this, we can often see that he has small white spots on his nails, which is the manifestation of zinc deficiency. And there will be barbs on the fingers, and the hair is yellow or rare, which is a major manifestation of zinc deficiency.
3. Intelligence is relatively low, growth and development are slow
Zinc-deficient babies will also suffer from slow intelligence and growth, such as low intelligence and shorter growth than children of the same age, which are manifestations of zinc deficiency. There are also some children who are very active, inattentive, and have hyperactivity, and if children often have this situation, it is zinc deficiency.
What should my child do with zinc deficiency?
When the child is deficient in zinc, he must pay attention to food supplements, and you can give him some foods containing zinc. For example, some seafood oysters, shrimp, eggs, beef, etc., are supplemented by different complementary foods for children, which can promote better absorption in conjunction with other methods.
Babies under the age of 3 are the golden age of physical and intellectual development, and eating complementary foods is very important for the growth of children.
