What to do if your two and a half year old baby doesn't like to eat

The health of the children is the biggest wish of parents, but parents will encounter many problems in the process of their children's growth. It is a distressing thing that a two-and-a-half-year-old baby does not like to eat. Children's lack of appetite will directly affect their physical health and they are prone to some diseases. Next we will introduce in detail what to do if a two-and-a-half-year-old baby does not like to eat.

Pay attention to care at home:

1. Develop good eating habits. Feed your children at regular times and in regular amounts, reduce snacks between meals, and cultivate the habit of not being picky or partial in eating, and eating a wide variety of foods. Don't make children laugh while eating, and don't eat while watching TV. This will affect gastrointestinal motility and the secretion of digestive glands, leading to indigestion. Do not eat while squatting, otherwise it will cause belching, hiccups, and abdominal bloating, which will affect the amount of food intake.

2. Increase the variety of meal preparation to stimulate children’s appetite. At the same time, you should avoid eating too much greasy food, as it will affect your digestive function and cause loss of appetite over time. Attention should be paid to the combination of meat and vegetables, with light food as the main food (such as rice, noodles, eggs, milk, vegetables, etc.) and fatty food as the supplement.

3. Get enough sleep. Children are in the development and growth stage and should get more than 10 hours of sleep a day. Don't let your children watch TV or play video games for a long time. Encourage them to rest in time.

4. Eat more foods containing zinc. Zinc is found in animal foods such as lean meat, eggs, fish and dried fruits. Zinc deficiency can also delay children's growth and development. Parents should let their children eat more zinc-rich foods.
