What should I do if my baby has a poor appetite?

As children grow up, various problems are inevitable. Many babies sometimes have a poor appetite and don’t want to eat. This situation makes mothers particularly worried. This is also caused by the child’s lack of attention to diet or illness. After such a situation, mothers don’t need to worry. As long as the method is appropriate, the child will slowly recover his appetite. Let’s learn what to do if the baby has a poor appetite.

1. The cause of the disease during and after the illness may be drug damage leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction. This requires the mother to take probiotics with the medicine to help the child quickly restore the healthy operation of the gastrointestinal and other digestive systems;

2. The ingredients should be soft and easy to digest liquid soft food;

3. Indigestion caused by this condition can be treated with ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine that can strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite, such as: Poria cocos, licorice, yam, costus root, hawthorn, lotus seeds, amomum villosum, tangerine peel, malt, coix seed, mint, etc. 4. The overall intake should also be reduced accordingly to allow the child's immature digestive system to have time and space to buffer and repair;

5. Mothers can choose appropriate ingredients according to their children's physique, and must not force their children to eat, otherwise it will easily cause psychological harm and rebelliousness. Feeding is not just about making the baby full. It also reflects whether the mother's parenting methods and concepts are reasonable and scientific.

The above is what we should do when the baby has a poor appetite. After the child does not want to eat, we should slowly adjust the child, especially to cultivate the child's correct eating habits in normal times, not to give the child snacks, and when the child does not want to eat, we should not force the child, especially not scold the child.
