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

No matter how old the child is, the most worrying thing is the issue of eating. We get ourselves a headache every time because of feeding him. If a baby doesn’t eat well within one year old, it’s because he is ignorant. But if a child over three years old doesn’t eat well, it’s because he is naughty. Children are in the stage of growth and development. If we can’t give children enough nutrition, children will not develop well. So what should we do if the baby doesn’t like to eat at the age of three? Let’s learn more about it!

(1) Add variety to the meals. Do not rely on the ideas in books or the elderly to feed your children tasteless food. As long as it is easy to digest and absorb, and the adults find it delicious, the children will feel it is good.

(2) Even adults have no appetite when eating alone, let alone children. Share delicious food with your children to increase the joy of dining. For example: you take a bite, then praise the food in a very lyrical way and ask the child if he wants another bite.

(3) Reduce external distractions while eating to prevent distractions from eating and increase concentration.

(4) Eating with adults is a great sensory stimulation for children. Don’t think that children will disrupt the dinner table. As long as there are no outsiders present, let the children sit at the table and slowly stimulate their enthusiasm for eating.

Here are some children's foods for your reference:

(1) Minced meat porridge: Wash the rice and cook it into porridge. When it is half cooked, add the minced meat and continue to cook. When it is 80% cooked, add a small amount of chopped vegetables and continue to cook until it is all mashed. Add a little salt and simmer until it is seasoned. Remove from the pot and let it cool before eating. This porridge is suitable for minced pork, minced mutton, minced beef, minced chicken, minced shrimp, etc. Among them, minced shrimp porridge is the most suitable for children's protein absorption.

(2) Vegetable and meat dumplings: Mix a small amount of flour and a small amount of vegetable and meat filling, wrap them into finger-sized dumplings and cook. Note: Children do not like to eat oily or heavily seasoned foods.

Through the above content, we understand what to do if the baby is three years old and doesn’t like to eat. Sometimes we think that the parents’ approach is wrong, which makes the child feel disgusted, but the starting point is always good. We should change to a more appropriate solution. This may be a more acceptable method for our baby. If we want to change the child, we must change ourselves first.
