How can you tell if your baby is anorexic, what are the common reasons why your baby is anorexic, and how can you make your baby love breastfeeding again? What else can I do if my baby refuses to take the bottle? Can I replace formula with complementary foods? Situation 1: As the age of the baby increases, the baby’s sense of sight and hearing gradually improves, and the baby becomes more and more curious about the outside world, and the attention is more and more easily distracted, so the baby is more likely to desert and eat less milk when breastfeeding. Tips: When breastfeeding, mom should pay attention to choosing a relatively fixed and quiet environment to avoid outside interference, so that babies can gradually realize that they are breastfeeding in this quiet environment and gradually form good habits and rules. Situation 2: Many parents feed their children according to the absolute feeding amount, which can easily lead to overfeeding. Babies with a strong sense of satiety will adjust the number of times they eat on their own and reduce their feeding, while parents will mistakenly think that their babies are anorexic. Usually in this case, the baby will show good weight gain, but accompanied by indigestion symptoms such as green stools and heavy breath. Tips for coping: Mothers should be careful not to have too high a psychological requirement value and accept that there will be some differences in the amount of feedings for the child each time. When the child does not eat to stop, do not try to find ways, such as times to feed the fixed amount of feeding, and do not compare with other children’s feeding amount of horizontal. Pay attention to whether the baby’s growth curve is normal is the ultimate criterion for judgment. Situation three: add supplementary food too early, the amount of supplementary food increased too much, some parents worry that the baby does not eat supplementary food, but also early to add salt, sugar and other seasonings, resulting in the baby eating less milk. The best way to deal with it: pay attention to the interference of complementary foods added to breastfeeding. First, complementary foods should not be added too early, about 6 months is better. Secondly, it is not advisable to add oil, salt, sugar and other seasonings to complementary foods within 1 year of age. Because of the bland taste of breast milk, when adding complementary foods taste heavier, it is easy to induce babies to refuse to eat the relatively bland taste of breast milk, so parents are advised to add complementary foods to their children, must not make the taste of complementary foods “special” to avoid the phenomenon of milk aversion. Third, the amount of complementary food should not be too much, the main source of nutrition for babies within 1 year old is still milk, too much complementary food is easy to appear anorexia. Situation 4: Your baby has anorexia for no reason other than the above, what should you do? Tips: If the baby is not physically stunted, it is recommended to increase some exercise and eat some digestive food to promote appetite; if the anorexia is longer and there has been poor weight gain, etc., you should go to the hospital to rule out pathological conditions. For 4~6 months old children may have the problem of physiological anorexia period, this is because children like the numerous flavors of complementary foods than the single milk taste snatch, plus the curiosity of things around, so the attention of eating milk is poor, but the physiological anorexia will not last long, usually 1 month will return to normal, it is recommended to continue to insist on eating milk.
