EXCESSIVE MILK INTAKE AND IRON DEFICIENCY
Hello lovely ladies...

In my previous post i had discussed about breath holding spell..I also told u all that iron deficiency is one of the reason for breath holding spell...

Actually my baby got these spells bcz of iron deficiency bcz he left solid food and want to take milk always..

Thatswhy,he became anaemic...
In my today's post i m going to tell u all about

WHY DOES EXCESSIVE MILK INTAKE CAUSE IRON DEFICIENCY?

As we all know milk has some good qualities(vit-d,protein,calcium,etc)...

I had also posted about milk qualities once when nutrition week was going on...But everything has many positives and negatives as well..According to my todays post i wanna aware u that we shouldnt give more than 200ml milk per day to our children..Bcz much milk and milk substitutes are not good for health..Bcoz

1)Milk and milk sorces are good source of iron but poor source of iron.

2)Milk interferes the bodies ability to absorb iron from food and supplements..

3)Cow's milk can cause intestines to lose small amounts of blood..When blood is lost iron is lost with it..

4)Excessive milk intake can lead children to consume less solid foods bcoz of the fill up on the liquid..Solid foods are where the iron in a child's diet typically comes from..
When our iron is low,there can be a number of harmful effects on the body..Some symptoms of IDA(iron deficiency anaemia) include fatigue,pale skin,headache,weakness,poor appetite,irritability,unusual food craving and impaired growth and development..

In my next post i will share tips to treat iron deficiency in children..So for know more plz follow my hashtags
