A few days ago, I saw a video where a 2-year-old baby cried to the camera and didn't want to eat the meals made by his mother anymore. It was so unpalatable.
Mom felt funny and sad after hearing this.
It turns out that the baby's previous meal was cooked by his father. Unexpectedly, his father was on a business trip these days, so the mother had to bite the bullet and do it. Unexpectedly, the child was not supportive at all.
In fact, the problem of difficulty in eating will cause headaches for many parents. The child is fine, at least he knows the reason. In fact, many children do not eat, and parents don’t know what’s going on.
Then today we will take a look at the reasons why children don’t like to eat.
Reasons for babies not to like to eat
. Bad habits
In fact, most of the bad habits of babies eating are habituated by parents.
Especially the elderly, they always like to chase their children to feed them. It is difficult to judge whether the children are full or not. Parents often worry that they are not full and always want them to eat more. This will easily increase the burden on their stomach and will also affect digestion.
In addition, children do whatever they like to eat, and don’t give them what they don’t like to eat. This will not only affect the child’s nutritional intake, but also develop the bad habit of picky eating.
. It is not delicious.
This is just like the situation in the video. Because the family cooks alone, tastes bad, and the children simply think it is not delicious, so they don’t like it.
It is also very easy to deal with if this situation is to change one person, change the dish, change the method, and try changing multiple dishes. If the child likes to eat it, it proves that it is not a problem for the child.
. Deficiency of trace elements
Generally, if the child is not nutritionally balanced, it will lead to the deficiency of certain trace elements, such as iron deficiency, zinc deficiency, and calcium deficiency. The lack of vitamins will easily cause the baby to not want to eat. It is recommended that parents go to the hospital for a check-up. If confirmed, supplement the trace elements appropriately and eat a balanced diet.
4, sick
If the child is sick, eating inseparable or teething may affect his appetite. Don’t worry too much, just wait until the baby has passed this time.
If you are indigestion, you can eat a light diet appropriately, eat some probiotics to condition it, and then pay attention to controlling the baby's appetite.
5. Eat too much snacks
Many children like to eat snacks, but if they eat too much, especially before a main meal, it will definitely affect the intake of the main meal.
At that time, the main meal is not full. After the snacks are full, they are prone to hunger. However, it is not time to eat, so they can only use snacks to fill their hunger. Over time, they will become a vicious cycle.
So it is not recommended that children eat too many snacks, and try not to eat them before the main meal. This portion must be controlled well when eating. The child has no self-control, which needs to be controlled by parents.
summary
There is actually a reason for the baby not to like to eat. As long as we find the root cause, we can deal with it symptomatically. Parents need to reflect and review on their own to see if the baby does not like to eat due to their improper behavior. If so, adjust in time. Although the baby will not adapt to the adjustment process, as long as we persist, let him develop good eating habits and grow healthier in the future.
