Picky eating affects the nutritional intake and physical and intellectual development of babies, which makes parents very anxious. Smart parents should learn to understand and analyze the reasons why their babies are picky eaters and seek solutions. Here are a few reasons why babies are picky eaters and some solutions are provided for parents’ reference. Picky eating reason 1: Some babies are very sensitive to the smell, taste and texture of some foods and always refuse or have difficulty accepting a certain type of food. This behavior can lead to delayed intake of complementary foods for babies and affect the development of oral muscles and coordinated oral movements. Solution: Parents should first look at this phenomenon calmly and try to provide a variety of healthy foods for your baby to choose from. In each meal, have your baby’s favorite foods as well as new varieties of foods; offer new varieties of foods gradually and frequently. Offer the new variety no less than 10-15 times before the child eats it, and let your baby see, smell, and touch the new food frequently whether he or she eats it or not; talk to your child’s health care provider about any nutritional concerns you may have. Picky Eater Cause #2: Related to your baby’s temperament type, some babies simply don’t want to try new foods. Solution: Place new varieties next to your child’s favorite foods. Encourage him to touch, smell, lick or try this new food. When babies take the first step, even if they just smell it, give timely encouragement and then lick and try again; try dipping vegetables in yogurt, mashed beans, low-fat salads and other such healthy foods, and use this method to encourage your baby to eat vegetables. Reason #3 for picky eating: Babies are becoming more independent and some children appear to be picky eaters, but in reality they just want to eat what they can eat on their own. Solution: Provide healthy “hand-held foods” so that babies can eat on their own, so that once they have eaten the food in their own hands, they will have a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. So when you feed your baby let him hold a small spoon in his own hand, this will give him a sense of initiative and will be more interested in eating. Picky Eater Reason 4: Some babies are very active, and they seem to be picky eaters because they can’t sit still. Solutions: Let your baby eat before he sits down; don’t take too long to eat, about 10 minutes; let him stand up when he says he’s done; put some healthy food within reach, such as a bowl of strawberries or bananas, so they can easily reach good food when they are hungry. Picky Eater Cause #5: Some children have pathological problems and the resulting difficulty in swallowing certain foods. Solution: Visit a hospital to check and identify some diseases associated with picky eating and the feeding of children with diseases requires some special interventions.
