    It is not uncommon for babies to not like to eat. There could be several reasons:

    1. Normal growth slows down, and the requirement to eat is also less, which will occur at the end of the first year;

    2. A kind of autonomous sprout. This autonomy can appear when eating, but also when dressing, bathing, sleeping, etc., and is unwilling to be at the mercy of others (feeding is also a kind of mercy);

    3. Playing is exciting, such as beating toys, building blocks, tearing paper, throwing things, etc., and is unwilling to stop;

    4. I was scalded or "cold" at one time. Choked ......, have a memory, and are reluctant to eat;

    5. The food is not in line with the taste, or too salty or too light, or the pieces are too big or too hard, etc., which also affects the appetite;

    6. There are too many distracted people or things in the eating environment;

    7. When you are sick or tired, you will not want to eat when you wake up from sleep.

    To solve this problem, you can try the following methods:

    1. For the short-term deceleration of normal development and the germination of independent character, you can wait, just know it ideologically.

    2. Wash his hands and put on a bib three or five minutes before eating, leave the place where he plays with toys, sit in a quiet place with little distraction and feed him, and don't let others watch him eat.

    3. Be patient, chop up what you eat, tear it small, feed it one small bite at a time, and when he finishes eating, feed him a second bite, don't let him choke, give him a terrible experience.

    4. The taste of the meal should be mastered, not too light or too salty, do not use monosodium glutamate, and pay attention to the color, aroma and taste.

    5. The seat he sits in should be suitable for the height of your feeding, and it is best to have a little constraint, such as sitting in a high chair with a horizontal board in front of him, a small chair with a circle, etc.

    6. Don't rush, don't let him have a dislike for eating.

    7. Don't stick too to the time of eating, be flexible, give him food when you think he should eat (such as three hours from the last meal), he doesn't want to eat, you can postpone it for half an hour to an hour, or vice versa, you can also give him food in advance.

    9. When he is tired and in a bad mood, don't force him to eat, you can wait for him to recover his spirit and eat when his mood is normal.

    10. If you suspect that he is sick, you can take him to the hospital for examination, and take a little medicine to help digestion.

    11. As long as the child is long and his weight is up to standard, it doesn't matter if he eats less, don't worry too much, he will be fine after a while.

    In addition, you can take your baby to the hospital for trace element measurement to find out if your baby is deficient in zinc or iron. Generally, babies who lack zinc, iron and other trace elements have a bad appetite. Pasta and rice have different nutrients and can be eaten alternately, but it is not advisable to eat pasta at every meal.

    Children over 1 year old who only drink milk and do not eat complementary foods for a long time are sure to develop malnutrition. Because the child is in a period of rapid development at this time, the demand for various nutrients is high, and if the nutrition is not reasonable, it is easy to develop malnutrition diseases. If you don't eat meat for a long time, you are likely to develop anemia; Skipping carrots and vegetables may cause mouth ulcers, baby beriberi, and rickets; Not eating foods containing fiber may lead to constipation, etc.

    To change this, parents must first set a good example for their children. When eating, adults should say things like "this dish is really delicious, this porridge is so delicious", and they should compete to eat it to stimulate children's attention and interest in food. After a long time, the child will fight for food.

    In addition, when children ask for food, parents should praise and reward them. Do not force your child to eat, as this will make your child more resistant to eating. In addition, it is beneficial for children to experience the feeling of hunger.
