Babies do not like to eat is the most headache for parents. Some children take an hour or two to eat a meal, while others take two bites of food and watch TV or go out to play for a while before they will continue to eat. Parents can’t help but ask: “Why do babies not like to eat, in the end how to make children want to eat it?” 1, we need to see whether the baby has been eating poorly or because of recent illness or vaccination caused by the latter, these babies after a period of recuperation can basically restore the previous amount of food. There are also some babies anorexia is due to gastrointestinal discomfort, weakness or suffering from systemic diseases, these babies should go to the hospital in a timely manner, under the guidance of the doctor to take medication, once the disease is cured, the child’s appetite will also be restored. 2, there are also some children who are anorexic due to the lack of trace elements of zinc in their bodies. Zinc-deficient children can be given more zinc-rich foods, such as seafood, animal liver, lean meat, fish roe, peanuts, walnuts, etc. If the zinc deficiency is severe, you should choose medication to supplement zinc according to the doctor’s diagnosis. If these situations are ruled out, then we can also improve the baby’s appetite from these aspects. 1. Ensure adequate sleep Parents will certainly find it strange how eating and sleeping are linked to each other. In fact, the baby’s digestive tract activity is closely related to the function of his cerebral cortex, if the lack of sleep will inhibit the feeding center of the lower thalamus, thus significantly reducing digestive juices and peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, so adequate sleep is a prerequisite for improving appetite. 2, the diet should be regular quantitative fixed point regular, fixed-point eating will make the child form a conditioned reflex, whenever close to eating, his digestive system will be active, produce a sense of hunger, so as to prepare for eating. 3, to improve the interest in eating Parents can often change the method of cooking food to improve the color, aroma and taste of food, so as to improve the child’s interest in eating and promote appetite. 4, do not force to eat Many parents feel that their babies eat less, must let him eat more bites. In fact, due to the influence of physiological, psychological and environmental factors, the baby will sometimes eat a little more, and sometimes may eat a little less, this is a very natural thing, parents do not have to worry about. If the child is forced to eat, but will cause the baby’s resentment, and over time will produce anorexia. 5, appropriate activities outdoor activities can speed up metabolism, help the digestion and absorption of food, but do not strenuous activities within half an hour before eating. 6, do not reprimand the baby at the table Some studies have shown that when a person is in anger, sadness or anxiety, the pyloric sphincter will be radioactive contraction, so that the food stays in the stomach, resulting in a decrease in appetite, and even gastritis. The child’s appetite will not only be reduced by reprimanding or scolding the child while eating, but will also cause the child to resist by refusing to eat. 7, do not eat snacks Some children have to eat and drink many high-calorie snacks every day between meals, such as chocolate, candy, or drink a lot of drinks, which will make the sugar content in the blood too high, but also produce a sense of satiety, so there is no feeling of hunger, so by the time the main meal he simply does not have the appetite to eat, and after the snack snacks to fill the hunger, thus forming a vicious circle.
