What to do if your newborn baby won't eat

I believe everyone knows the importance of diet to us. Diet not only provides us with energy and nutrition but also can be used to prevent and treat diseases. In addition, diet can also help with weight loss and beauty. Therefore, we recommend that everyone should pay attention to their diet. Diet is even more important for newborns. Some newborns may not eat. Below we will introduce what to do if a newborn does not eat.

Reasons why babies don't eat

1. The ability to digest food is still relatively weak. If your baby has eaten a lot in the past period of time, there is a possibility of food accumulation.

2 If the baby was sick some time ago, the gastrointestinal tract may also be invaded by the virus, thus affecting the baby's digestive ability. If the baby is taking blood tonic medicine, or taking some nutritional supplements that irritate the gastrointestinal tract, it may affect the baby's digestive function. If your baby has taken antibiotics some time ago and caused bacterial imbalance, the baby's digestive function will also be damaged, which will also affect the baby's eating. Then you can imagine the baby’s nutritional status.

Don't force your baby to eat

When your baby is eating, don't talk about the issue of eating. You should not show joy on your face or encourage your baby too much if he eats too much, or sigh, look sad or even angry if he eats too little, which will make your baby regard eating as a burden.

If you want your baby to enjoy meals, first make the food he likes to eat. On the premise of ensuring your baby's nutrition, try not to force your baby to eat food he doesn't like. Everyone has different tastes, so how can we eat the same thing? Eating in a calm, peaceful and pleasant atmosphere can not only increase your baby's appetite, but also promote digestion and absorption.

Don’t indulge your baby’s picky eating

1 Parents should let their babies try a variety of foods. Don't withhold food from your baby just because you don't eat it or don't like it. If parents themselves are picky eaters and don't pay attention when eating, commenting on how this tastes bad or that tastes bad while the children are eating, this will invisibly influence their children.

2 When preparing meals for your baby, pay attention to the color, aroma, taste and shape of the food during the cooking process to arouse your baby's interest. For those newly added foods and foods that the baby doesn’t like, you should be thoughtful and combine them with the baby’s favorite foods to induce the baby to eat them. Don't be too accommodating just because your baby likes a certain food.

3 Parents should develop a diet plan for their baby while ensuring their nutritional needs. Do not just give them their favorite food to prevent them from getting tired of it.

In the above article, we introduced the importance of diet to us. We know that diet is even more important for newborns, so parents must do a good job of dietary care for newborns. The above article introduces in detail what to do if the newborn does not eat.
