What should I do if my ten-month-old baby has a poor appetite?

The happiest thing for parents is that their babies can grow up healthily. For parents, it will be very anxious if the baby feels unwell, especially if their 10-month-old baby is unwilling to eat. This will lead to them not being able to take in enough nutrients. Today we will learn together what to do if a 10-month-old baby has a poor appetite.

When babies are around one year old, they start to gain weight slowly but grow faster, so they look thin. You can make some appetizer vegetables for your baby - tomato and tofu. 1. Wash and cut the tomatoes into pieces, and cut the tofu into long strips. 2. Put two teaspoons of oil in the pan. When it starts to smoke slightly, put the tofu in and fry it for a while. It doesn't need to be fried until fully cooked. It is better if the noodles are slightly yellow and tender. Serve aside. 3. Wash the pot and heat it up, add 1 teaspoon of oil, put the tomatoes in when the oil is hot and keep stir-frying until the tomatoes are no longer lumpy. 4. Add the fried tofu, add a little salt and tomatoes and cook for 3 minutes. The pot must be cleaned in each process, otherwise the color will be dark and ugly. Do not add any other seasonings except salt, and trust the natural flavor of tomatoes and tofu; do not stir-fry too much to avoid the tofu falling apart. When choosing, don’t choose the ones that are very tender, but rather the ones that are a little older but not burnt. Suitable for infants aged 9 to 10 months and above.

1. Adults should develop correct eating habits

"Precepts speak louder than actions." Children have a strong ability to imitate. If adults themselves have abnormal eating habits or often fill their stomachs with snacks, there is naturally no reason to ask children to stick to regular meal habits.

2. Fixed meal time

Try to make it a habit for the whole family to eat together at the table when it is time to eat, and require children to finish their own meals. If a child does not finish his meal, do not give him any snacks even if he is hungry later. Over time, children will develop the habit of eating at regular times and in fixed quantities.

3. Reduce food outside of meals

Although it is necessary to give snacks, they should not be given in excess, especially junk food should be avoided as much as possible. This can prevent children from eating too many snacks and putting the cart before the horse and not being able to eat the main meal.

4. Promote children's appetite

Of course, a child cannot eat if he is not hungry. If parents just force their children to eat, it will have the opposite effect. Try to stimulate the child's appetite, such as increasing his activity level. When he really feels hungry, he will naturally not resist eating.

5. Choose tableware that your child likes

Children like to have their own unique things. Buying some tableware with cute patterns for children can increase their desire to eat. Better results can be achieved if you can choose and buy it with your children.

6. Spend more time on making changes to the dishes

Under the condition of a balanced diet, parents can replace the simple rice and noodles they usually eat with a variety of foods. For example: Sometimes potatoes can be used as the main dish, and paired with some vegetables to make a nutritious and hearty meal.

After reading this article, I believe everyone has an understanding of what to do if a 10-month-old baby has a poor appetite. Parents can cook some food in different ways, especially by making some good changes in the color of the food. This will increase the baby's visual perception and make it easier for them to accept these foods.
