On TV, advertisements on mobile phones about zinc supplementation for babies are overwhelming, and mothers can easily sit in the right seat after watching it.
"Nibbling on your nails? It seems to be..."
"Picky eater, don't like to eat? Recently it has been like this..."
"Poor immunity? Yes, I always have to catch a cold..."
Rounding it was determined that the baby was deficient in zinc, and he took home a bunch of nutrients.
In fact, it is meaningless to judge whether a baby is zinc deficient from the symptoms. For example, nibbling on nails may be the baby's nervousness. There is no appetite, it may also be a problem with the addition of complementary foods, and we cannot conclude that the child is zinc deficient.
Although zinc is important, the baby's demand is not large:

In the foods we eat daily, seafood shellfish, red meat, liver, fungi, etc. all contain enough zinc, as long as we often make these foods for our children, it is impossible to be zinc deficient.
Today to recommend a bowl of zinc soup to mothers, I specially added a zinc supplement expert "dried scallops". Cooked with white radish, it can not only remove the fishy smell in the dried scallops, but also have the effect of suppressing cough and promoting digestion.
Recently, the weather has gradually become hotter, the baby's sweating has increased, sweat will take away some zinc elements, mothers can drink more of this soup for the baby, zinc supplementation at the same time can also replenish water.
Hydration and zinc to promote digestion, hot days are good for this mouthful!

Some mothers have left a message saying that measuring trace elements can diagnose zinc deficiency in babies? The answer is: no! Trace elements in the human body content is very small, the detection needs to be very precise, which brings a problem, detection accuracy up, it is easy to be interfered with. If you use fingertip blood, you have to poke at the child's finger, and then squeeze out, in fact, the blood sample has been diluted during the squeeze, and the zinc in the human body is mainly present in muscles, bones, skin and internal organs, and is not mainly in the blood, the level of blood zinc does not explain the problem.
