What to do if your baby refuses to eat

When babies refuse to eat, it is a matter of concern to many parents, because we all know that only when babies eat can they get nutrition from food and develop more healthily. If they refuse to eat, then for the babies, it will actually affect their development and physical health. So let us take a closer look at the methods to improve the baby's appetite.

Ways to help children eat well and stimulate their appetite include:

1. To let the child eat well, you should first reduce the amount of milk to once or twice a day, arrange three meals a day, and control the amount of milk and snacks intake until the child becomes hungry.

2. Increase his activity level so that he will feel truly hungry and will not resist eating.

3. Know the child’s real needs and understand the child’s behavioral ability. Do not use the behavior of not eating as a bargaining chip to exchange conditions with parents.

4. Try to make it a habit for the whole family to eat together at the table when it is time to eat, and require the child to finish his or her portion of the meal. If the child does not finish, even if he or she is hungry later, do not give him or her any snacks. Over time, the child will develop the habit of eating at regular times and in fixed quantities.

I hope parents can understand that if the baby doesn’t like to eat, they must find the reason and must never use violence or scolding to force them to eat, because this is also very bad for the baby. Therefore, parents should take the most correct approach to help their children increase their desire to eat.
