What should I do if my 2-week-old baby doesn't like to eat?

The most difficult thing in every family is taking care of children, and the most distressing thing is the problem of children's feeding. Children are still relatively young, and they cannot be beaten or scolded. They are afraid of dropping them if they are held in their hands. However, children are in the main period of growth and development. If children do not eat well, it will affect their development. How can parents not be anxious and worried? So what should you do if your 2-week-old baby doesn’t like to eat? Let’s learn more about it!

1. Appropriately change the cooking method of meals. If a baby doesn’t like to eat, it may be because of this food or this cooking method, so parents should take the time to change the cooking method. At the same time, they should pay attention to not making the cooking method too greasy, otherwise, the greasiness will affect the baby’s digestive function over time, and then cause anorexia. It is worth noting that the diet should be balanced, with light foods as the main component (such as rice, noodles, eggs, vegetables, etc.) and fatty foods as the supplement.

2. Develop good dining habits. Feed your baby at regular times and in regular amounts, reduce snacks and desserts between meals, and cultivate the habit of not being picky or partial in eating. Don't play with your baby while he is eating, and don't let him eat while watching TV. This will affect his gastrointestinal motility and the secretion of digestive glands, and may cause indigestion.

3. Massage your baby frequently. After the baby has finished eating, parents can give him a gastrointestinal massage for a few minutes. This can not only promote food digestion and enhance parent-child relationships, but also help the baby get rid of the problems of loss of appetite and anorexia.

4. Only with proper exercise can you eat well. Before meals, parents can take their babies to the park to play for a while, do some exercise, and consume body calories, which can increase their appetite.

The question of what to do if a 2-week-old baby doesn’t like to eat has an answer. Parents should not be nervous or anxious when encountering such a situation, because they should not lose their composure first. If the child does not eat well, first see if the child is feeling uncomfortable or something, find out the reason for the child, and then see if there is any reason in themselves? If there is something wrong, correct it; if there is nothing wrong, try harder.
