What to do if your three-year-old baby has a poor appetite

Parents are often worried that their children become picky eaters and don’t like to eat. On the one hand, this is because the child's internal organs are in the process of development. It is also closely related to the child's personal habits. At this time, parents should guide their children to eat more, because children who do not like to eat tend to be thinner, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of children. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to avoiding the habit of picky eating. What should I do if my three-year-old baby has a poor appetite?

The stomach and intestines are to a child as soil is to a young tree. He has a bad stomach and cannot absorb any good food. Giving your child a good stomach is equivalent to laying a good nutritional foundation for him!

After a baby is born, the most basic requirement is to eat, drink and defecate? Sleeping. And eating and drinking? Salivation is closely related to the digestive system of the stomach and intestines, which is responsible for the digestion, absorption and excretion of food. As long as the newborn is healthy, his gastrointestinal function should also be healthy. But why is it that when they grow up, some children have very strong stomachs and enjoy eating anything, while others easily get stomach upset? A very important reason is that the acquired maintenance methods are different. Even the best stomach and intestines will be damaged if they are not properly cared for.

Judging from the child's physiological development characteristics, his digestive system is still immature, the acidity of gastric juice is low, the secretion of various digestive enzymes is small and the activity is low, so his tolerance to food is relatively poor. However, children are in a period of rapid growth and development and require relatively more nutrients, which puts a heavy burden on the gastrointestinal tract and often puts the digestive function under stress. Therefore, at every stage of a child's growth and development, we must pay attention to protecting his stomach and intestines.

After the child is 1 year old, already? Able to accept a variety of solid foods. At this time, you can let your child taste a variety of foods so that he can accept a variety of foods smoothly and will not be picky or biased in his eating habits when he grows up. The stomach and intestines are exercised from an early age and are less likely to "go on strike" in the future.

At this stage, it is also very important to develop the habit of eating meals on time. Regular diet can provide the stomach and intestines with regular "signals", allowing them to work in an orderly manner every day.

After a child is 3 years old, he can eat almost everything that adults can eat, and he has much more choices in snacks and drinks. At this time, be sure to control his snacks. Because our stomach has a rule that the food we eat must be emptied every 3 to 4 hours. If children often eat snacks, there will always be something in their stomach and they will not feel hungry. Then, when it is time to eat, they will naturally have no appetite and will not be able to eat. If this continues for a long time, the child's digestive function will be disrupted. So, don't give your child anything before meals to ensure that his stomach has enough space to receive the food.

Parents are also very anxious about some children's picky eating and poor appetite. In addition to providing appropriate guidance in life, they also need to take their children to the hospital for certain examinations to avoid the situation where the children have poor appetite due to organic reasons. In addition, in daily diet, we should also pay attention to improving children's appetite through variety and food diversity.
