Treatment for 13-month-old baby who doesn't like to eat

The whole family loves the baby very much. After the baby is born, the house becomes lively and filled with children's laughter everywhere. Even if the baby is occasionally willful, they will think that their child is very smart. Seeing the baby grow up healthily is the biggest wish of every parent, but what if the baby does not eat seriously or does not like to eat? Some babies do not like to eat when they are 13 months old. Many parents will ask if there is any good way to treat their babies who do not like to eat. Here I will introduce to you some methods to treat babies who do not like to eat.

If a baby doesn't like to eat, he is most likely to suffer from anorexia. Anorexia usually occurs in children between 1 and 2 years old. What parents can do when facing their children’s anorexia:

1. Set a time limit for your child. If he or she cannot finish the food, take it away without making any noise. On this basis, let children eat at regular times and in regular amounts to cultivate their eating habits. 2. Control snacking between meals. When your child complains of hunger at unusual meal times, do not give him or her snacks; instead, feed him or her some fruit.

3. Require family members to act in unison. An occasional concession or compromise may be difficult to make up for later.

4. Attract children with food that is colorful, fragrant and delicious. Pay attention to food combination, make it colorful, and ensure it is fresh and diverse. 5. Choose some tableware with vivid patterns and appropriate size that is suitable for young children to grasp. These supplementary materials are also one way to stimulate children's appetite.

6. Appropriately increase your child’s outdoor activities. Arrange more outdoor activities for them, which can promote children's metabolism and speed up the digestion and absorption of food.

7. Ensure adequate sleep and do not let children watch TV or play video games for long periods of time.

8. Create a relaxed dining atmosphere for your children. Do not scold your children while they are eating so as not to cause psychological burden on them.

9. Respect your children’s opinions when they say “enough”. It’s okay to take the food away when your child says “no”. Eating a little less or a little more actually doesn't have much impact on children. Parents just need to remember: hunger is the best cook. Parents should take a natural approach! Of course, if you really can't bear to let your baby go without eating, you can also supplement your baby with some probiotics to regulate the balance of gastrointestinal flora and promote absorption and digestion. Pay attention to giving your baby a diversified diet. In addition, improper selection of milk powder can also cause the baby to develop bad habits of anorexia and picky eating. So pay attention to the choice of milk powder.

It is common for babies to not like to eat at 13 months old. Mothers should not worry too much as it may affect the child's mood. There may be many reasons why babies don’t like to eat, but the most important thing is not to analyze how to deal with this problem and spend too much time looking for solutions. Mothers can solve it according to the above methods, or they can solve it according to their own baby’s own problems. They can use rice balls with brightly colored patterns or some vegetable dishes to attract babies to eat.
