Supplemental nutrition package knowledgeable

Children's nutrition is particularly important for children's physical growth and psychological and intellectual development, especially for infants and young children

Since 2012, with the financial support of the central government, the former National Health and Family Planning Commission and the All-China Women's Federation have jointly launched a nutrition improvement project for children in poverty-stricken areas, providing 1 packet of rich nutrition for infants and young children aged 6-24 months in the country's contiguous areas with special difficulties.

The anemia status of children in the original impoverished areas in China has been significantly improved, and the feeding behavior of infants and young children has also been significantly improved

In April this year, the National Health and Health Commission held a press conference on the progress and effectiveness of China's maternal and child health.

Nutritional packages can play a role in improving the nutritional status of infants and young children in the short term, reducing the occurrence of low body weight, growth retardation and anemia in children, enhancing disease resistance, and promoting physical and cognitive development

In life, many parents worry about their children's lack of nutrition, whether they lack vitamins, and often buy some nutritional supplements

Wang Danhua, chief physician of Pediatrics at Peking Union Medical College Hospital, said that there are several recommendations in the current domestic and foreign guidelines

In addition, for premature infants, routine iron supplementation is very important, because premature infants have very low iron reserves in the mother's womb before birth.

Scientific feeding, starting from the birth of the baby, good nutrition is related to the health of the child's life
