What can children eat to stimulate their appetite?

If children do not eat, it will be difficult for them to absorb nutrients, but we can help them stimulate their appetite and improve their appetite through some food. Parents can prepare some yam porridge for their babies, or boil some chestnut soup, which can help to regulate the spleen and stomach.

1. Anorexia in children (no appetite):

3 qian of hawthorn and 1 qian of chicken skin, add half a bowl of water and cook until done. Eat before meals, twice a day for three consecutive days. It has the effect of stimulating appetite and aiding digestion.

2. Cook porridge with brown rice

People often put raw rice or raw glutinous rice in an iron pan and stir-fry it over low heat until the rice turns dark yellow and slightly burnt. They then use the burnt rice to cook porridge, which helps stop diarrhea and promotes digestion. Babies only need to drink the rice soup from the porridge, and the effect is usually good.

3. Make yam paste for your baby

Wash and peel the yam, cut it into small pieces and put it in a blender. Add some water and beat it into a paste. Then put it in a small pot and boil it while stirring. Bring it to a boil. Feeding your baby half a bowl of this once a day when he is on an empty stomach can help to regulate the spleen and stomach, and it also has the effect of stopping diarrhea, and nourishing the lungs and kidneys. Children who are prone to sore throats and earaches should not eat yam.

4. Chestnut Soup

Take 3 to 5 chestnuts, peel and mash them, put them into the pot, add appropriate amount of water and cook them into a paste, then add a small amount of white sugar for seasoning. The baby can eat it on an empty stomach, 1 to 2 times a day. Chestnut paste also has the effect of regulating the spleen and stomach and stopping diarrhea.
