Especially during the current epidemic, parents are worried that their babies will suddenly fall ill, because this will not only make the baby feel uncomfortable, but will also affect the baby's health and make it more difficult for parents to take care of them. Therefore, if you want to reduce the probability and frequency of your baby getting sick, improving your baby's immunity is particularly critical. In this regard, how can parents enhance their baby's immunity?
Immunity is the body's resistance system against the invasion and interference of external germs , viruses and other disease-causing factors. It can ensure the baby's health and reduce the probability of disease. In addition to innate factors, the baby's immunity mainly depends on the influence and enhancement of the acquired environment. In this regard, parents can do the following to enhance the baby's immunity:
1. Try to choose breastfeeding
Compared with formula milk with various ingredients added, breast milk is undoubtedly the best ration for babies. The nutrients in it are more in line with the baby's gastrointestinal digestion ability, so breast milk is better absorbed and digested by the baby's gastrointestinal absorption ability. At the same time, breast milk also contains a lot of immune factors , which can enhance the baby's own immunity after ingestion. Therefore, babies in infancy should still choose to breastfeed as much as possible.
2. Get vaccinated on time
After the baby is born, he has left the safe intrauterine environment and entered the complex external environment, which in itself will be threatened by various germs and viruses. Therefore, parents need to vaccinate their babies with relevant vaccines on time, so that they can build up their children's resistance to different diseases as quickly as possible and complete their children's immune function.
3. Avoid an overly clean environment
Many parents will pay too much attention to the quietness and sterility of their baby's living environment. Although this can minimize the chance of contact between the baby and germs and viruses and avoid getting sick. But this also causes the immune function to be idle for a long time. is not conducive to the improvement of immunity. It does not need to be too clean. allows babies to form immune memories of different germs and viruses in daily contact, so that they can better resist the intrusion of diseases.
4. Develop a regular work and rest pattern
Sleep and rest not only keep the body full of vitality, but also help keep the immunity in a good state. Babies with irregular sleep schedules and insufficient sleep will not only have poor resistance, but their physical development will also be relatively lagging. Therefore, parents must consciously establish a regular work and rest pattern for their babies.
5. Add complementary foods as early as possible to ensure a balanced diet.
During the feeding process of the baby, the baby will gradually transition from milk feeding to complementary food feeding, and complementary foods should not be added too late. Generally, mothers can try to add complementary foods to their babies when they are 4 to 6 months old. Because there are various natural nutrients in the food, the baby's absorption and utilization will be more conducive to the development of the body's immunity.
6. Maintain an appropriate amount of outdoor activity time.
Outdoor activities are also a very critical part in enhancing the baby's immunity, because during outdoor activities, babies can bask in the sun, exercise, and breathe fresh air, which can stimulate the development of the body's metabolism , thereby increasing immunity. Therefore, parents can usually take their babies for a walk in the open outdoors when the weather is good.
7. Timely supplement of trace elements
Some nutrients that we tend to ignore, such as zinc, iron, selenium, etc., are of great help to the baby's body immunity. Mothers can absorb these trace elements through oysters, beef, spinach, pork liver, dried shrimps and other foods to ensure the balanced absorption of nutrients in the baby's body.
Important note: Immunity is the key to resisting the invasion of germs and viruses. If parents want to improve their baby's immunity, they can breastfeed and vaccinate on time, avoid an overly clean environment in life and develop a regular schedule, add complementary foods in a timely manner during feeding, adhere to a balanced diet, go outdoors more often, and supplement the absorption of trace elements in a timely manner.
