Is it really a good idea for a nursing baby to give special vitamins?

Vitamins never ever took me to grow up. My as represented mommy yearns as her/it, w,ürde us a healthy food feeds, we were well it.

My son is 3 months old, and his/its doctor told me, as he/it was born, babies don\'t get from breastmilk to give him/it Tri-vi-sol-Vitamine, because vitamin D of the feeding one(s) is a vitamin breast. I didn\'t have any problem with it. As I him/it f one week agoür his/its date picked up, the doctor took my Sohn\'s-Blut and said, that he/it was a little anemic, therefore she/it asked me to rearrange him/it to the poly-vi-sol, that has like 13 vitamins including the iron. ICH\'m really sketchily thereover. I started to bring me to iron, I can atalso is ämisch, in hopes that of it, to nurse him/it, he/it can get more iron of me.

I simply don\'t like the idea to give everything to such a young baby besides breast milk, even vitamins. SobaldSobald it ouchßerhalb me warmers gets, will take him/it from the tri vi sol and brings him/it into the sun for some minutes per day, so that he/it can bring vitamin D in the natural way.

Still somebody feeling this way or I should listen only to the doctor?

It is "usual knowledge", that iron supplements necessarily are, after a baby gained the magic age of six months. But is this an exact statement? Mietfrist\'s looks at some of the current research.

Anemia is uncommon in nursed babies for several reasons

Sufficiently volle-Begriff-Babys iron stores have healthy in her/its/their bodies to last at least for the first six months. The current research shows, thereShould last of ß between six and twelve months a Baby\'s iron stores and should rely on the baby.

The iron in breastmilk is more well deepened than that from other sources. The vitamin C and high lactose is honestly in breastmilk-Hilfe in iron absorption.

Iron source percent of the iron, that is picked up,
breastmilk ~50 - 70 percent
Iron fast cow\'s milk formula ~3 - 12 percent
Iron fast soy formula less as 1 percent - 7 percent
Iron-fast grain 4 - 10 percent
Cow milk ~10 percent
Note: The lot of iron, that is picked up by every meal, relies very much on the milk source of the iron, eg, human vs-Kuh, type of iron connection of the meal, that need of the body of iron and the other meal, that are corroded the same meal,).

Nursed, babies don\'t lose any iron through her/its/their guts; the milk of cow can annoy the intestinal feed and can result in a tiny quantity of bleeding and the loss of iron.
The original iron camps baby healthy from a volle-Begriff, joined
with the besser-vertieften iron in breastmilk, enough normally is
keeping the hemoglobin from baby is honest within the normal selection
good in the second six months.

Which babies more in danger for eiserne-Mangel-Anämie?

Babies, who were prematurely born, because babies get pregnancy from her/its/their mother the majority of her/its/their iron stores during the last trimester.
Furthermore, there is proof that of babies, whose birth weights are less as 3000 grams, approximately 6.5 pounds, whether prematurely concept or, you tend, in birth iron stores, to have and to seem, reduces to need additional iron earlier.
To mothers with badly controlled diabetes of born babies.
Theoretically babies could, who were born to mothers, who were anemic, during the pregnancy, lower iron stores have, but medical studies don\'t show this to be a problem. Babies, that to Müttern that is anemic during the pregnancy was born, no more likely ones are to be been resolutely insufficient as those are, that carried to mothers, who are not anemic during the pregnancy.
Babies, to whom by cow is fed the milk, instead of breastmilk or iron-fast formula, during the first year of life.
Healthy volle-Begriff-Säuglingen that is nursed exclusively for periods of 6-9 months, in order to retain normal hemoglobin values and normal iron stores, was shown. In one of these studies, done 1995 from Pisacane, the researchers closed, thereß babies, who were nursed 7 months long exclusively, and was, you don\'t give any iron supplements or iron-fast grain, had have nurse significantly higher hemoglobin levels as babies, who got solid meal earlier than seven months, with one year. DieDie researchers didn\'t find any Fälle the anemia of the first year in babies, nursed exclusively for seven months and closed, that to nurse exclusively for seven months, the risk of the anemia reduces.

The original respects for iron of fortifying meal was based babies on the need of a formula-fed of them and the fact, that breastmilk iron, as formula, contains doctors then didn\'t know that the iron better much in breastmilk. also some babies have lower Eisenläden and will need particular iron additionally at any point to that, what they get from solids, although this can often is remedied, in that one, that solids are C highly in iron and vitamin, guarantees, you see below.

If mommy or doctor are procured about a baby\'s iron levels, you have the doctor to make a blood examination for hemoglobin.

Some babies are nursed one year long exclusively, and occasionally until two years, with no problems with all. Ohßerdem recommend some doctors that babies with a high risk are nursed one year long for allergies exclusively.

Why do you not use any iron supplements as a protective measure for each baby?

DasDas iron in breastmilk is bound to proteins, that turn it available only into the baby, and is prevented so potentially damaging bacteria, like E.coli, salmonella, Clostridium Bacteroides Escherichia Staphylococcus of it, to use it. These two specialized proteins in breastmilk, lactoferrin and transferrin, w,ählen you upward and clamp iron of baby aus\'s intestinal area. Through binding of this iron, she/it,

hinder damaging bacteria to multiply the iron, that they must live, through the taking of them and grow, and
guarantee that this baby (not the bacteria) gets the available iron.
The introduction into iron supplements and iron-fast meal, especially during the first six months, reduces the efficiency of the iron absorption of baby. As yearn as your baby, become ausschließlich nursed, and getting of no iron supplements or iron of fortifying of meal, the specialized proteins in breastmilk guarantee that baby gets the available iron, instead of "bad" bacteria and such, iron supplements and iron in other meal is on a first available, you come, first

from Jillian ~ * Cohen\'s mummy * ~ the reason breastmilk doesn\'t contain, much vitamin d is because what is in breastmilk, is much more easily absorbed in 1 as also given vitamins, because you can get d vitaimn from the sun. she/it never gave i to my son and became need her/it/them mitgeteilt\'t for him/it didn, if him/it i draußen brought and didn\'t do him/it any hermit,


from lady, you have no idea this, about which they talk. Doctors and nurses are full from it * * * * breast feeding is the best, doesn\'t need any supplements or the vitamins. If you think, your son needs vitamin D, you bring him/it to the park once per day. Vitamin D is gotten by the sun.

by Brooklyn\'s mommy was instructed me to give my LO Vit D also and ran out as us from the hospital, you try, my DH bought the polyvisol like you, talks approximately. I give it to her/it/them if I remember, * maybe * once per week...
My mother never gave me supplements as she/it was BFing I,... this is my argument:, 25 percent 1 voices,

through sunny, I at all always make, my doctor asks me to do. You/they asked something about the doctor it if you give \'t aufsetzen,will your baby the vitamin? My doc told me, thereß these baby needs of 6 months of iron feeds you to baby rice grain, the iron in rather than the rice him/it, that we eat, has, therefore. If your Baby\'s atmaybe your baby then needs something ämisch. ICH\'d hört your doctor sooner to. At least until your Baby\'s not atämisch still.

Yes, our body makes vitamin for the sun. I guess, thereß any sun rather than the vitamin would help.

from AMOFO?ST... me was told the same matter with my son, who made recieve for the Tri-vi-sol. With my daughter, I did a quantity of my own research and made my own decisions. She/it never got the Tri-vi-sol and thrived so well, as he/it did it. 25 percent 1 voices
