What should I do if my baby doesn't like to eat recently?

Parents all wish that their babies would eat more so that they can grow. However, you will find that in China, many children do not like to eat much. Every time a mouthful of food is brought to the baby's mouth, many of them don't like to eat it. In fact, the baby's habit of not liking to eat can be changed. The key is that parents should guide the baby correctly so that they can eat willingly and happily.

1. Intentionally cultivate your baby's habit of regular meals, and only eat some snacks, biscuits, bread slices and fruits between meals. Do not eat too much, so as to avoid the satiety center being in an excited state during the main meals.

2. If the baby doesn’t want to eat, parents should not scold him or keep him at the dining table for too long, as this will make the baby more disgusted with eating. You should create a quiet and pleasant dining environment for your baby, and let your baby actively participate in meal preparations, such as washing hands, getting napkins, etc., to stimulate your baby's interest in eating.

3. Attitudes that parents should avoid: In addition to not letting their children realize that they are worried and anxious about their children's refusal to eat, parents should also avoid the following attitudes:

(1) Too many snacks stored at home:

If children eat snacks all the time, they will naturally not be able to eat when it is time to eat. Even worse, the child may suffer from malnutrition.

(2) Allowing children to eat and play at the same time:

The result of a child playing while eating is that the meal time will be prolonged. When it is time for the next meal, the baby is not hungry yet and of course he will not sit down to eat obediently.

(3) Unpleasant meal times:

Many working parents will unconsciously ask their babies to eat faster when they are rushing to work or are busy at work. This will make the children have an unpleasant experience of "eating" and thus reject eating.

(4) Treating by means of inducement:

If parents use inducements to get their children to eat, over time, their children will use "eating" as a condition of exchange, which will shape their values ​​of achievement.

Well, the above are several solutions that the editor introduced to you about babies who don’t like to eat. In fact, after reading the above introduction, you should also know that sometimes parents’ attitude directly affects children’s interest in eating. Therefore, parents can not give their children too many snacks before meals, but also create a pleasant dining atmosphere.
