What to do if your child doesn't eat well

Every parent hopes that their children can eat well and absorb what they eat, because being able to eat means that the baby can absorb enough nutrients, which is conducive to physical health. However, the issue of eating has become the most painful problem for countless mothers. Many babies are unwilling to eat more, and have not even formed good eating habits. So what should mothers do in this situation? How can I make my baby eat obediently?

1. Adults should develop correct eating habits

"Precepts speak louder than actions." Children have a strong ability to imitate. If adults themselves have abnormal eating habits or often fill their stomachs with snacks, there is naturally no reason to ask children to stick to regular meal habits.

2. Fixed meal time

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

3. Reduce food outside of meals

Although it is necessary to give snacks, they should not be given in excess, especially junk food should be avoided as much as possible. This can prevent children from eating too many snacks and putting the cart before the horse and not being able to eat the main meal.

4. Promote children's appetite

Of course, a child cannot eat if he is not hungry. If parents just force their children to eat, it will have the opposite effect. Try to stimulate the child's appetite, such as increasing his activity level. When he really feels hungry, he will naturally not resist eating.

5. Choose tableware that your child likes

Children like to have their own unique things. Buying some tableware with cute patterns for children can increase their desire to eat. Better results can be achieved if you can choose and buy it with your children.

6. Spend more time on making changes to the dishes

Under the condition of a balanced diet, parents can replace the simple rice and noodles they usually eat with a variety of foods. For example: Sometimes potatoes can be used as the main dish, and paired with some vegetables to make a nutritious and hearty meal.
