What to do if children have severe picky eating

Everyone has different tastes in food. Everyone has their own favorite and disliked tastes. Adults may eat less of something they don’t like out of rationality. But for children, it may not be that simple, because children cannot fully understand the impact of picky eating. All parents and friends must have enough patience to help children change their picky eating habits.

If your baby is a picky eater, mothers should never force him to eat or use force to make him eat. Be sure to offer a variety of good-tasting foods at every meal, even if your baby refuses to eat them. Many children will always like a certain food and they will feel very happy and sweet when eating it, so mothers should try hard to make delicious food. Parents can try to use fruits and vegetables to make their favorite flavors and surprise your baby!

Your baby says he doesn't like asparagus even though he's never tried it? This kind of thing happens a lot of the time. This is because some vegetables can have a strong odor, especially when cooked. In this way, mothers must have the patience to make delicious food, hoping that after cooking, the food will be pleasing to the eye and taste. Even then, your baby may spit it out, so let your baby take a deep breath and try it another day.

Many babies will pick out foods they don't like when they are eating. Whether it is vegetables in the store or in the meal, as long as it is green vegetables, the baby will refuse to eat it and will not try it at all. Mothers can add other ingredients to green vegetables, such as salad dressing, bean paste, etc. Teach children to eat vegetables they don't like by adding texture to the food through roasting and seasoning. For example, if salad dressing is added to vegetable puree, vegetables they don’t like, such as celery and green beans, can be mixed together and fed to babies. I believe they may gradually get used to eating these.

We adults should also pay attention to our eating habits, because our habits also greatly affect children. If you eat food you don’t like, don’t say, “It’s not delicious, it’s really disgusting,” etc. This will subconsciously make the child think that this food is not delicious and I don’t want to eat it. Children should be encouraged to eat things that they don’t normally like.
