What nutritional supplements are needed for children's intellectual growth

I don't know how many of my friends around me have become mothers, and we talk every day in the group about what nutrition to add to our children, although I haven't been a mother, every day listening to them I also remember almost. I'll summarize their words and share them with the moms in the forum. There's an old saying that three stinkers are better than Zhuge Liang!

The first thing you need to say today is that the baby within one year of age should be supplemented with nutrition, other age groups will be discussed next time.

To know the baby within 1 year, especially within 6 months of the baby's growth is faster, every day are growing at a rate of 20-30 grams, this time they are developing everything, and need adequate nutrition supply to meet their rapid development needs. At this time, the baby's body organs are not yet mature, and very tender, and digestion and absorption ability are very weak, generally, only half of the adults below, so mothers must help babies to enhance intestinal vitality, to ensure effective absorption of nutrients.

In terms of nutritional elements, there are the following baby development needs to be supplemented.

DHA, ARA: DHA and ARA are two important nutrients that help the development of the brain and retina. Grasp the critical period of rapid brain growth of your baby before 6 months of age and continuously supplement high-quality DHA and ARA to provide a nutritional foundation for your baby to have a smart little brain.

Choline: a B vitamin, found in breast milk, is one of the few substances that can directly enter brain cells, creating chemicals that help memory and can effectively improve your baby's memory.

Active bifidobacteria probiotics: It is the health guard of a baby's gastrointestinal tract, which can inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and achieve the balance of intestinal microecology. This balanced state of the intestine is important for a baby's nutrition metabolism, anti-infection, and growth and development. The baby's intestinal tract is healthy and energetic, and the absorption of nutrients is naturally comprehensive.

Complex prebiotics: They can help active bifidobacteria grow and reproduce better, and together with active bifidobacteria probiotics, strengthen a baby's immune defense system comprehensively and enhance the baby's resistance.

It is worth noting that babies who cannot grow up with breast milk usuallyhavefewers probiotics in theirbodiese, and just supplementing with prebiotics is not enough. So infants and toddlerswithhformulaprobiotics neededd too be s thee sameetimetimeo to ensureethenumberttof intestinal probiotics and a healthy environment in the gastrointestinal tract.

The friends said they researched all the milk powders available in the market and found that the above nutrients are generally added to milk powders, but few milk powders specifically target the characteristics of the baby's brain development during this period. The only thing that I found was that the Yili Gold formula was better for my baby. The reason for this is that the formula is optimized for these nutrients, making the milk powder more suitable for the baby's brain development. The proprietary mother and baby research center also calls the period from 0 to 2 years old the "educational talent period", indicating the importance of this period for the baby's intellectual development. I looked up the information and found that "babies over 6 months old are no longer as sleepy as before, their physiological metabolism and daily activities have increased, their brains are entering their second growth spurt, and the nutrients brought out from the mother, especially iron and calcium, have been depleted. meet the needs of brain and body development. At this time, the immune factor passed from the mother's body gradually disappears, and adding complementary foods will lead to lower intestinal resistance and make it easier to develop digestive problems such as constipation and diarrhea." Therefore, babies from 6 to 12 months need to add not only nutrients such as DHA, ARA, and choline but also calcium and iron, as well as lactoferrin to help babies improve their immunity and establish a good microbiological environment in the digestive tract.

From the above information, you can find that the baby from birth to 1 year old this stage is not easy to raise because both help the baby to supplement comprehensive and adequate nutrition, but also pay attention to whether it can digest and absorb these nutrients, otherwise not only can not help the baby but also lead to his indigestion, malnutrition, etc.

It's not easy to raise a baby, worrying about whether the body is defective when it's not born, fearing that the nutrition is not enough after it's born healthy, and worrying about learning when it's grown up healthy and happy. It's really hard to be a mother.
