What to do if your baby has anorexia

According to investigations and research, babies with picky eating and anorexia have a much greater impact on their physical development and some cognitive functions than babies without picky eating and anorexia. In addition, there are many hidden factors that are ignored by parents. Severe picky eating and anorexia in babies also have a great impact on the formation of their personality. Parents should master scientific and reasonable feeding techniques to ensure the healthy growth of their children.

1. Control snacks and pastries

Many children prefer to eat snacks, but cannot eat when it is time for dinner. As the old saying goes, "When you're hungry, you don't choose what you eat." When you're hungry, even foods you didn't like in the past will taste good, so the amount of snacks you give should be strictly controlled.

2. Arrange a variety of outdoor activities

Parents and teachers should arrange outdoor activities such as riding bicycles, playing ball, running competitions, etc. to consume their energy and stimulate their appetite. At the same time, children are prohibited from eating right after strenuous exercise, because they have no appetite at this time. They should wash their hands and be quiet for a while before eating.

3. Prevent and treat diseases in a timely manner

Timely prevent and treat dental caries, parasitic diseases and other diseases in children. Because illness can also change habits and easily lead to picky eating.

4. Ideal Motivation Method

Children all have ideals of one kind or another, and we should guide them in the right direction. For example, when you see football players in the media, you can say to your children, "Look, these uncles have such good health because they often eat carrots, cabbage, fish and meat. Don't you want to be a football player when you grow up? You should start eating these vegetables from now on!"

5. Anticipation of Rewards

Children all desire rewards. When some children don’t like to eat egg yolks, we promise to buy them a certain toy or take them to the park to play to encourage them to eat it. Praise the child promptly after eating, and be sure to keep your promise and never break your promise.

Parents can also put more effort into preparing food. The same food should be cooked in different ways to attract the child's attention. Many parents are afraid that their children will eat dirty food or that their children eat slowly, so they often feed their children. This is also wrong. Children should be allowed to eat by themselves, experience the fun of doing it themselves, and it can also increase their desire to eat.
