How to supplement for moderate anemia in babies?

Patient's question:

The baby has not been in good health since birth, and the problem was not very serious at that time. A while ago, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the results said the child has moderate anemia, which made me start to feel anxious, not knowing what to do. I just want to consult experts on how to supplement for the baby's moderate anemia.

Doctor's answer:

The baby's growth and development are relatively fast. If not properly cared for, there is a possibility of recurrence of anemia symptoms. Anemia can lead to reduced appetite, pale complexion, spoon-shaped fingers, etc., which can interfere with the baby's growth and development, intelligence, and other aspects. Anemia can be classified into mild anemia, moderate anemia, severe anemia, etc. Proper feeding should be maintained, ensuring an adequate intake of meat. Oral ferrous sulfate solution can be administered for treatment. Please wait and see for a while and have blood tests done periodically for follow-up.
