What to do if your child doesn't enjoy eating

Children have no appetite when eating, which means they have poor appetite. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. For example, some children have gastrointestinal diseases, which will cause poor appetite and loss of appetite. If children have a cold or get angry, this situation will occur. As a parent, you must prepare some delicious food for your children at this time. You must pay attention to the color, aroma and taste, and you should improve your children's appetite.

What to do if your child doesn't enjoy eating

1. To develop good eating habits, we must first pay attention to food hygiene. Unclean food can easily cause digestive problems. We must educate children not to eat unclean food. At the same time, we must also avoid eating while watching TV, reading, playing on the computer or mobile phone. Eating too much food such as cabbage, broccoli, beans, onions, leeks, etc. can easily cause bloating. Fried foods increase the burden on gastrointestinal digestion. Cold drinks and ice cream can easily irritate the stomach. Parents should pay attention to giving their children less of the above foods.

2. Pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm. A cold abdomen can also stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and cause indigestion. Many times, children do not pay attention to keeping their abdomen warm when they sleep at night. Therefore, parents must pay attention to this, especially when turning on the air conditioner in summer, to ensure that the child’s abdomen is not invaded by cold air.

3. Develop regular bowel habits. Children should develop regular bowel habits from an early age. Normal digestion leads to regular bowel movements, and conversely, regular bowel movements ensure normal digestion. The two are inseparable. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate children's regular bowel habits, and at the same time pay close attention to maintaining their digestive tract conditions, so as to prevent children from having indigestion problems.

Symptoms of indigestion 1. Sweating Excessive sweating in children is often caused by indigestion. Sweating is closely related to digestion. If the digestion is not good, the body will lack the necessary nutrients over time, the physical condition will become weak, and even the slightest exercise will cause sweating.

2. Parents should pay attention to whether their children grind their teeth at night. Calcium deficiency, parasites, and indigestion can cause teeth grinding. If a child is in the period of growing deciduous teeth or replacing teeth, oral inflammation may also lead to bruxism. Intemperate eating can lead to gastrointestinal dysfunction, so it is necessary to change the child's eating and feeding habits.

3. Allergies Some children do not have any special reactions after eating fish and shrimp on a daily basis, but occasionally they may develop skin allergies after eating them once or twice, which is also related to poor digestion.

4. Parents should pay attention to their children's bowel movements. If the stool is in the shape of sheep dung and in lumps, it is mostly because the child has spleen deficiency and the gastrointestinal function is affected. The stool cannot be discharged in time and accumulates in the intestine for a long time. The water is absorbed, so the stool becomes dry and hard, and may even cause constipation over time.
