Children suffering from anemia due to their parents' modern lifestyles and industrial parenting in the following story are being discussed throughout the social networks, raising concerns about the current state of children's health.
According to Dr. Nguyen Thanh Sang, this doctor recently received a case of a baby girl suffering from severe anemia from An Giang. Hemoglobin index (HBG) after a blood test is only 1/3 of that of girls of the same age.
It is known that he lives with his mother and grandmother. The mother is busy at work so she does not have time to prepare food for her baby. Every time she wakes up, her grandmother will let her drink milk . Every day this little girl drinks from 10-12 boxes of fresh milk.
The baby's family members saw the baby was too pale, so they advised her to go to the doctor and the grandmother disagreed. Only when the father comes home from a long trip to find out the reason for his trip, the baby can be tested. The baby was transferred from An Giang to the city. Ho Chi Minh by ambulance and hospitalized immediately.
Here, after the examination, the doctor concluded that he was severely anemic due to consuming too much fresh milk every day.
There are 3 reasons why drinking milk can cause iron deficiency anemia:
Fresh milk contains 4 to 5 times more calcium and phosphorus than breast milk. However, the high concentration of calcium and phosphorus causes the intestines to absorb iron from food.
Fresh milk contains 80% casein protein (while breast milk contains 40% casein), which prevents the intestines from absorbing iron.
Both raw milk or breast milk contain very little iron. But exclusively breastfed babies still do not lack iron in the first 4 months of life thanks to the amount of iron stored in their liver. When the baby is 4 months old and especially after 12 months onwards, the diet needs additional iron for the baby.
Drinking too much milk is hurting your baby more than you think
Children who are given lots of milk will have enough energy and will not feel hungry, from which they have no appetite and gradually anorexia. Parents see their children anorexic, afraid they are hungry, so they give more milk to drink, the spiral of anorexia becomes worse.
Iron deficiency anemia is a disease when the blood lacks healthy red blood cells. The body uses iron from ingested food or recycled iron from old red blood cells to produce hemoglobin. Hemoglobin (HBG) is a part of red blood cells that gives the blood its red color and allows it to carry oxygen throughout the body. Without enough iron, the body cannot produce enough HBG, resulting in fatigue, pale and pale.
Blood tests can show the concentration of Hemoglobin in the blood, normal HBG levels are:
Pregnant women: ≥ 11 g / dL
Non-pregnant women: ≥ 12 g / dL
Children <6 months: HGB <-2SD
Children 6 months - 5 years old: 11 g / dL
Children 5 years old - <12 years old: 11.5 g / dL
Children 12 years - <15 years old: 12 g / dL
Male, ≥ 15 years old: 13 g / dL
Besides, there are two other indicators to consider are MCV and MCH. The average score for the average person is MCV <85 fL and MCH <27 pg. If all 3 values are reduced, consult a specialist.
Fresh milk is essential food for children from 1 year old, but what parents need to do is use milk properly. Giving your baby more than 600ml of fresh milk each day will put your baby at risk of iron deficiency anemia. Anemia will cause anorexia. Anorexia will cause iron deficiency and lack of nutrients. Iron deficiency and lack of substance will return to cause anemia worse ...
