How to correct baby's picky eating

Babies' picky eating habits need to be corrected in time, because the earlier the intervention begins, the easier it is to correct in time. Children will have some picky eating habits when they are young. Some babies will automatically change some picky eating habits as they grow older, but for many babies, if the picky eating habits are not corrected in time, it will directly affect their eating habits throughout their lives. It is very detrimental to the absorption of nutrients and the health of the body.

(1) Cultivate good eating and resting habits for children. Get up, eat, study and rest on time. An irregular life will have an adverse effect on the child's central nervous system, causing disorders in the regulation of the child's digestive system, thus affecting the child's normal appetite. Therefore, parents should cultivate their children's habits of getting up, eating, going to school, resting and sleeping on time.

(2) Arrange meals scientifically. Parents should put more thought into three meals a day, so that the meals are delicious and tasty, the color and taste can stimulate children's appetite, and the variety is rich and nutritious. They should ensure that the meals include grains, fish, meat, eggs, poultry, milk, vegetables, fruits, seafood, fungi, etc., so that the nutrition is balanced and comprehensive, with a wide variety.

(3) Encourage children to eat a variety of foods. Don't let your children feel that some dishes have no nutrition or taste, or that some dishes are too cheap and lose their portion, thus narrowing their food scope. Parents should not pass on their own eating habits to their children, and they should not be picky eaters. You can explain to your children the importance of comprehensive nutrition absorption and the dangers of anorexia and picky eating.

(4) Parents should try to maintain a harmonious and quiet atmosphere during mealtimes. Don't criticize your children at the dinner table or talk about unpleasant things at home, so as not to cause psychological pressure and depression to your children, which will affect the feeding center and parasympathetic nerve activity in the central nervous system and disrupt the vitality of the digestive system. If this continues, not only will the child suffer from anorexia, but it will also cause gastrointestinal diseases. Parents should pay special attention and try to resolve some issues at an appropriate time after meals.

Children generally have small appetites and eat less. Parents should not think that their children are picky eaters or have anorexia, and force them to eat a lot of things. This will burden the gastrointestinal tract and lead to indigestion, affecting the child's future diet. When the child is young, the principle of eating small meals frequently can be adopted. At the same time, parents should not pay attention to giving the child less snacks.
