Does your child need vitamin supplements?

Vitamin supplements should be imagined as a drug that must be prescribed, with the correct dosage, by your doctor. Megadoses of vitamins, advertised as a panacea for adults from many diseases, should not be given to children.

If your doctor does not make a different decision, no additional vitamins are required for a child born on time and exclusively breastfeeding. Human milk contains all the necessary vitamins. Provided that your child receives enough milk, he gets enough vitamins. Artificial infant formulas also contain all the necessary vitamins, provided that your child drinks a full jar every day. If the average consumption of an artificial mixture by your child is one liter a day, no additional vitamins are needed, unless the child needs intensive nutrition - for example, if the baby is premature. If and when a child drinks less every day of this amount of artificial mixture, it is recommended to give additional vitamins, depending on the consumption of solid food. Because of the chaotic diet of most children up to two years of age, pediatricians usually recommend additionally giving vitamins A, D and C, sometimes adding to them vitamins of group B. Vitamin supplements should be given until your child receives a regular balanced diet.

in vitamins cooked vitamins as much as possible. Fresh foods are best, followed by frozen ones;in canned products of vitamins the least.

Yellow vegetables - yellow skin.

Yellow vegetables( pumpkin and carrots) contain carotene, which, if absorbed in excessive amounts, can give the skin a yellow tinge. This non-threatening condition, known as caroteneemia, is often confused with jaundice, in which the skin also acquires a yellow color. With karotinemii, only the skin is colored yellow, whereas in yellow jaundice, the eyes become yellow. One rejection of yellow foods is enough to make the yellowness of the skin disappear.
