Nutrition for a child is the source of his vitality for development and growth. Very often, children have a deteriorating appetite, and they refuse to eat. In this case, parents need to find out the cause of the child's poor appetite as soon as possible.
Instructions
Step 1
Often, a child's refusal to eat is associated with feeding against his will. Due to force-feeding, tension arises between the parent and the child, and the child's body begins to protest. It can manifest itself in the form of frequent vomiting and pain in the tummy, food becomes not a pleasant meal, but an obsessive problem. The baby's mood is lost, and the body's defenses are reduced due to constant stress. That is why do not force-feed your baby, as this is harmful to your baby's health.
Step 2
The child may lose appetite and refuse to eat due to ignorance of his taste priorities. Therefore, consider his opinion and real needs. If the child does not like the dish, then revise the menu, eat healthy foods yourself and arrange for the child's access to fruits, berries, nuts. Successful serving and colors can also help. Thus, guided by the example of the parents, the child will subconsciously adjust his food priority.
Step 3
A baby's loss of appetite can occur due to stress, for example, due to a change in the usual environment or a quarrel between parents. Therefore, feed your baby in a calm environment, be patient and do not rush the baby if he is eating slowly. The possibility of a family meal will be the ideal solution, because the presence of companions always improves appetite - and even children who are indifferent to food become good eaters.
Step 4
Poor appetite in a child can be caused by sudden changes in the menu. Introduce new foods into your diet gradually, starting with small amounts. Give your baby time to feel that change is permanent. It is very important that the child is well nourished and the food is as varied as possible. But it is even more important that he feels loved.
