What should I pay attention to if the foramen ovale is not closed?

The development of the fetus is very complex, and the foramen ovale plays a very important role in the development of the fetus. It can be said to be a necessary channel in her development process. The foramen ovale is not necessarily a common clinical problem. However, if this problem still exists after the child reaches a certain age, it will have a direct impact on the child's physical health. So what should we pay attention to if the foramen ovale is not closed?

1. Foramen ovale

The foramen ovale is an essential passage for fetal development and a necessary place for it to communicate with the mother's blood to provide the nutrients and oxygen needed for development. Generally, the foramen ovale closes within one year after birth. If the foramen ovale is still not closed at the age of three, it is called "patent foramen ovale". Although patent foramen ovale does not have a significant impact on the body, it is a congenital heart defect after all. Therefore, it is best to eat more foods that help protect the heart on a daily basis. In addition, feeding the baby with breast milk can also effectively improve heart capacity.

2. Breastfeeding for multiple periods of time as an infant

Newborns should be fed with breast milk because "milk is blood transformed into sugar (treacle)" and is extremely nutritious. In terms of calories, there is not much difference between breast milk and cow's milk. But once entering the baby's body, there are big differences between breast milk and cow's milk. The protein in breast milk is easier to digest than the protein in cow's milk. Children can only digest the protein in cow's milk well after 3 months, so breastfeeding should be done for at least 3 months. Both breast milk and cow's milk contain iron, but 50% of the iron in breast milk can be absorbed, while the iron in cow's milk is lower.

3. Note

During the process of breastfeeding, the composition of breast milk changes. As the child gets closer to the end of the meal, there is more fat and the taste changes, so the child will leave the nipple contentedly, and this will prevent the child from eating too much. Children who are fed with cow's milk tend to be fatter. Obese children cannot be said to be very healthy, because obesity is simply caused by excessive accumulation of fat. The heart of an obese child needs to work twice as hard, and putting too much pressure on the heart from a young age is very bad for health.
