How to deal with infant and toddler feeding difficulties?

  Baby feeding difficulties is a very common clinical problem, often parents are therefore a big headache, many of the author’s students engaged in clinical, many also asked me for advice on similar issues, most of the main reasons are due to improper feeding methods: First, the time to add complementary foods is not well grasped, should be gradually added when the baby 4-5 months, some parents and friends because the mother’s breast milk is good, did not The first is that the time to add complementary food is not well grasped.  The second is the improper way to add complementary foods, that is, when the baby just started to add a good meal, but parents do not have a good grasp of the amount added, adding too much to the baby, too mixed, beyond the baby’s gastrointestinal adaptability, indigestion, the baby gradually appear not to eat.  Third, the way to add complementary food is not correct, every day should be fed first complementary food, and then in the middle of two complementary food feed milk, rather than first feed milk, and then add complementary food.  Fourth, always want the baby to eat more, nothing to stuff a little, the baby’s gastrointestinal no rest time, that is, the baby does not feel hungry, and thus feeding difficulties.  For how to correct, first of all, parents need to have patience, to give the baby’s stomach and intestines sufficient rest time, the time between the two feedings should be large 3 hours, in the middle can feed plain water, the other is not added, the second is to add the type, gradually from one to many, at the beginning can simply egg yolk or millet soup, gradually give egg custard, vegetable leaves, etc.. The third must be owed to feed, do not force-feed, at the beginning to add complementary foods must be little, or even let the baby taste can be, breast-fed baby feeding principle is “on-demand feeding”, meaning how much you want to eat eat how much, and after adding complementary foods baby, should try to achieve regular rationing, to establish good dietary habits, rather than just Focus on how much to eat at a time, if once in a while eat okay, must be shallow, do not follow the baby, want to eat how much to eat how much, otherwise the previous work is lost!  If the above note to the baby still can not, it will need to be treated, can give Chinese Tuina or Chinese medicine soup treatment, but its effect varies depending on the level of the doctor, part can be given to the triplet of live bacteria tablets, multi-enzyme tablets treatment. Poor feeding of the baby may be related to zinc deficiency, especially when the baby has been eating poorly, zinc deficiency is inevitable, zinc gluconate or zinc licorice granules can be given orally, which may help. But the most important thing is the feeding style!
