What should I do if my child is too thin and short? The correct approach is this

If a child is thin and short, parents will be very anxious, but the child's growth follows certain rules. Parents should help the child find the root cause and choose the right method to help the child return to the normal growth track.

1. Cultivate the correct eating time for children. Children should eat three meals a day with adults, and have snacks such as fruits in the morning and afternoon. Do not give food within 1 hour before or after meals. If you eat before meals, your eating will be affected.

2. Cultivate good eating habits for children. Never chase after them to feed. If one day your baby is obviously not interested in food, never beg her to eat. If you don’t want to eat, just go down and play by yourself. When you are hungry you will naturally want to eat.

3. Create a pleasant eating environment. Parents should try their best not to blame their children when they eat. But the rules at the dinner table still need to be followed, such as not getting on the ground casually or knocking the spoon.

4. Parents should set a good example themselves by not being picky about food and letting their baby eat anything happily. Then the baby will be interested in everything. Never give your baby any hints that this doesn’t taste good or that he can’t eat it.

5. If your child doesn’t like to eat, you should consider whether it is caused by a lack of zinc or selenium in the body. A child’s lack of zinc and selenium will also affect the body’s absorption of calcium. You can give your children appropriate amounts of fourth-generation zinc and selenium supplement products such as Xinxian Gaojixing tablets. Clinically proven, Xinxian zinc and selenium supplementation can effectively solve the problem of babies not liking to eat, while promoting their growth and development.

6. If your baby is short, you need to pay attention to strengthening nutrition. A balanced diet can ensure the nutritional needs of physical development.

a. If your baby is short, you can supplement calcium. Calcium can help bone development and promote your baby's growth. Foods rich in calcium include milk, eggs, tofu, Chinese mustard, spareribs, etc.

b. If your baby is short, you can supplement him with protein. Protein can maintain the growth of human tissues. The human body relies on protein to form muscles, bones, nerves, hair, etc. Without sufficient protein, the human body cannot grow normally. Therefore, if the baby is short, protein should be supplemented.

c. If the baby is short, he should eat more vegetables and fruits, as vegetables and fruits can provide the baby with the vitamins necessary for growth.

d. Babies who are short should eat less high-salt foods, as high-salt foods are not good for their development.
