Why does my baby not like to eat?

Nowadays every child has become the baby of the family and the baby's health has become the main concern of parents. When we talk about health, we will think of diet. Recently, some parents have found that their children sometimes don’t like to eat, as if they have no appetite, and the parents are very worried. Today, I will explain to you why babies don’t like to eat. How should we solve this kind of problem?

1. Food is not to your taste

Don’t think that babies have no sense of taste. They are very sensitive and the older they get, the less they can tolerate food that is only slightly salty or sweet. A single flavor will gradually make your baby bored. Therefore, if you want your baby to eat more, the food you give them should be delicious, varied in style and variety. Secondly, babies have different needs at each stage, and their preferences can reflect the needs of their bodies. Children change slightly every day, and significantly every three to five days. If the food remains unchanged, it cannot meet the baby's physical or psychological needs. For example: If a baby starts eating porridge at the age of six months, and if he still eats porridge for every meal at the age of one year, then the baby will definitely refuse to eat. At this time, the mother has to think whether the baby is no longer satisfied with eating soft and rotten things?

2. Bad eating habits

The older the baby gets, the stronger his/her awareness will be. He/she will be curious about everything in this world. Naturally, he/she will be distracted when eating, sleeping or defecating, and will not follow the adults' instructions. Parents should not always worry about or blame their babies for being disobedient. You should know that this is the baby's nature. On the contrary, parents should think of ways to cultivate good habits for their babies. It is important to develop the habit of eating, drinking, defecating and urinating on time from an early age, so that the baby can develop from conditioned reflex to independent consciousness, and eat, sleep or defecate at the right time.

3. Poor appetite and food stagnation

Babies are prone to indigestion. Sometimes it is not that they are unwilling to eat, but that they cannot eat. Drinking some digestive soup from time to time can improve their appetite. For example: boiling water with barley sprouts, malt, coix seed, lily, or boiling water with hawthorn, old kidney porridge, and chicken gizzard lining can all help digest food and remove accumulation. Massaging your baby can promote his sleep and help digestion. Regularly massaging the Du meridian on the baby's back (that is, on both sides of the spine) can prevent malnutrition. Using both hands to massage both sides of the baby's waist near the buttocks in an alternating and gentle manner can help the baby defecate. Also, I found that if my daughter slept well, she would eat well.

The above are some of the reasons why babies don’t like to eat that we introduced to you. As parents, if our children have such problems, we can try the methods above to alleviate the baby’s problems. We should also pay more attention to common sense in this area in our daily lives, so that we can pay attention to the health of our baby and let our children have a good body.
