Some babies are taken care of carefully by their mothers;
however, every month, their weight only increases a little and even does not
increase. This thing makes mothers worry.
So, what is the reason for their gaining weight slowly?
Lacking zinc and selen can make babies gain weight slowly
According to standard development of WHO, babies that are 6
months old has weight two times as much as babies that have just born. And when
they are 12 months old, their weight will increase 3 times. Mothers can feel
secure that their daughter’s weight is 8.9kg when she is one year old. For boy,
weight with 9.6kg is considered ideal. However, if babies don’t gain weight in
many constant months or gain little weight, this is sign to warn about their
health and bringing up unsuitably.
Weight is the
index that is cared most to know that whether babies have SDD or not.
There are many reasons that make babies gain weight slowly
such as babies are infected, their body is asthenic, diet with not enough
nutrients, babies eat fewer meals…. Another reality is that babies eat well,
but their weight increases slowly. This thing makes many mothers anxious and
wonder.
According to explanation of specialized doctors, babies eat
a lot; however, their weight doesn’t increase a lot because their digestive
system cannot absorb all of the nutrients that they eat. Especially, mothers
should pay attention that gaining weight slowly of babies is caused by lacking
some nutrients, especially zinc and selen.
A mother shares: “My baby is 17 months old, it can eat and
drink well. It can eat without forcing. However, I can’t understand why my baby’s
weight doesn’t gain in 3 recent months”. She worried that her baby had inflammation
about bowel. She took her baby to go to see doctor, to analyze some indexes of
blood. As a result, her baby has low amount of zinc and selen in blood. This is
the reason that makes her daughter develop slowly.
Among nutrients, zinc and selen have big role in the development
about baby’s weight. If babies lack zinc, they will grow slowly, sex organs
develop slowly, and they lose weight. In some researches in America, adding
zinc for babies can help reduce 18% case of diarrhea, 41% lung inflammation, and
50% death case.
Selen is very necessary for transforming iodine. Its
function is as an enzyme in process of creating hormone of thyroid gland to
stimulate input of energy. It is necessary for growing, development and
maintaining.
Upkid – add safe zinc and selen that can help babies develop outstandingly
Lacking zinc and selen can make babies suffer from anorexia,
decline immune system. In addition, it can cause phenomenon about undersized
and developing slowly of babies. According to statistics, 50% of babies from 6
months to 7 years old lack zinc and selen.
According to recommendation, demand about zinc of babies
that are under 1 year old is about 5mg/ day, babies that from 1-3 years old is
8mg/day, babies from 3-10 years old is 20mcg/day… Parents can add zinc through
daily foods such as field shrimp, eel, oyster, pig liver, milk, beef, egg yolk,
foods that contain a lot of selen such as fish, sea food, meat of poultry,
beans…
However, sometimes daily diet cannot provide enough
micronutrients such as zinc and selen for babies. Mothers can easily provide
babies with these 2 micronutrients with Upkid granulated medicine. The main
components of Upkid granulated medicine are 2 important micronutrients: zinc
and selen that have the origin from vegetation. This thing helps babies provide
with 2 important micronutrients but they are easily deficient. These two
micronutrients in Upkid granulated medicine will help babies absorb food well,
increase immune system. Moreover, it can help prevent diarrhea, respiratory
inflammation and cough when weather changes…
Zinc and organic
selen are very good for little babies.
Not like zinc and synthetic selen, zinc and selen in Upkid
granulated medicine are attached with amine acids in vegetation proteins, so
they are very friendly with body, especially to little babies and they don’t
leave the redundant quantity in the body, not cause irritation for mucous
membrane and stomach. They aren’t similar to synthetic form, so they don’t
cause nauseating. Providing with zinc and selen that have vegetation origin is
very safe. It can be absorbed to 90%. It is very friendly with human beings.
Maybe this is revolution about source that provides organic micronutrients for
babies. Providing zinc and selen on time plays an important part in helping
babies absorb nutrients, developing and growing normally. Especially, mothers
don’t have to worry about slow development of babies.
