Why is the baby not eating?

Babies’ refusal to eat can be said to be a problem that troubles many parents. If a baby doesn’t like to eat, he naturally won’t be able to accept the nutrients contained in new foods, which will be detrimental to his healthy development. When a baby doesn’t like to eat, you must understand why he doesn’t like to eat. This way you can truly help your baby improve his appetite and ensure his healthy diet.

The reason why your baby won'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 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.

3. When the baby is eating, do not talk about issues related to the baby's 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.

4. If you want your baby to enjoy meals, first make the food that your baby likes. On the premise of ensuring your baby's nutrition, try not to force your baby to eat food he or she 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.

When you find that your baby doesn’t like to eat, never force him, because many parents get angry when they find that their baby doesn’t like to eat, and sometimes they force their baby to eat. In fact, such a forced solution may even affect his physical and mental health.
