How to alleviate anemia in a full-term infant?

Patient's question:

When the baby was just born, the doctor said he had anemia, with a level of 108. It seems like my family members don't have anemia, so is this child just mildly anemic? Now the baby is 40 days old, and his hands are very pale. People keep asking my friends if the baby has anemia, saying how pale he is.

Doctor's answer:

Most of it is caused by iron deficiency anemia. Iron is one of the main raw materials for self-healing, and the main source of iron in the human body is food. It is recommended to first take him to a local regular hospital for a detailed trace element check. If it is iron deficiency anemia, provide iron-rich foods such as egg yolks, fish, liver paste, meat, animal blood, green vegetables, tofu, etc. Generally speaking, the utilization rate of iron from animal foods is higher than that from plant foods.
