What should I do if my eight-month-old baby refuses to eat complementary food?

Many mothers will find a problem when adding complementary foods to their babies, that is, the baby always resists complementary foods, and this phenomenon is naturally not conducive to the baby's nutrient absorption. Therefore, mothers need to understand why the baby resists complementary foods and effective solutions, so as to better ensure the baby's diet and nutrient absorption.

The iron content in breast milk is very low, and the iron in egg yolk is difficult to absorb. You can give your baby some pork liver and supplement vitamin C to help absorb iron. Jujubes contain vitamin C and iron and can be eaten by babies. Babies with anemia have a poor appetite, which is one of the reasons why your baby is unwilling to eat complementary foods.

If the iron deficiency is severe, you can give your baby some iron supplements such as ferrous sulfate, which is very effective. Supplement continuously for more than 40 days. In addition, you can also eat some foods that can stimulate appetite, aid digestion and promote growth and development, such as large hawthorn granules, children's lysine inositol vitamin B12 oral solution, children's digestive chewable tablets, etc. You can also take some foods that increase the body's digestive enzymes, such as compound pancreatic enzyme powder and complex vitamin B. These can be taken without any side effects.

You can choose to take it according to your baby's condition. In addition to anemia, another possible reason why babies don’t like to eat complementary foods is that the complementary foods are too simple and the baby is tired of them. Pay attention to the diversity of complementary foods and don't eat the same kind of complementary food every day. You should combine meat and vegetables in different ways for your baby to eat so that he won’t get bored and will be interested in the meal.

The above are some of the reasons why my 8-month-old baby does not eat complementary food. I hope that after these introductions, everyone can pay attention to these issues. In particular, mothers should understand the baby’s physical health status when taking care of the baby, so that they can help them solve some adverse effects.
