What to do if your three-year-old baby is anorexic

A lot of things will happen during the baby's growth process, especially when eating. Some babies are more active and will not eat obediently. This requires considering whether the baby suffers from anorexia. It is normal for a three-year-old baby to be active and like to be picky about food. At this time, you need to go to the hospital to check whether there is a lack of certain elements in the body and then make targeted supplements. Trace elements such as calcium, zinc, and selenium can be added to regular meals.

First of all, there are two situations in which children don’t like to eat. One is weak spleen and stomach, and the other is zinc and calcium deficiency. It is best for you to go to the hospital to test a trace element for a confirmed diagnosis and then symptomatic treatment.

Then, if the child has a weak spleen and stomach, you can give the child some Shenling Baizhu powder and Jianweixiaoshi oral liquid; if the child is deficient in zinc or calcium, you can appropriately supplement with licorice zinc, Longmu Zhuanggu Granules, etc., but it must be supplemented for at least one month.

Then, provide the child with a relatively quiet eating environment so that he can eat easily and happily. This is because the human digestive system is affected by emotions, and tension can lead to a loss of appetite. Therefore, when the child is eating, adults should not talk or laugh loudly, and should not tease the child by asking him to do this or that.

Then, improve the diet structure and encourage your child to eat. Say no to snacks, greasy, puffed and fried foods. If you have done all of these, then observe. If the child still has anorexia and does not like to eat, then feed him some food that strengthens the spleen and stimulates appetite, and then go to the hospital to see a Chinese medicine doctor for treatment.

Then, it is recommended to give children less snacks and maintain regular eating habits. It is recommended to have a blood test for trace elements to check for the possibility of zinc deficiency. If zinc deficiency occurs, zinc gluconate oral solution can be used.

Finally, check the trace elements. If there is zinc deficiency, supplement it in time and give your child zinc supplements such as zinc-selenium tablets. Second, take your children to more activities, let them drink more water, and not eat snacks. The third is to improve the meals, change the usual practices, and increase children's desire to eat.
