The following BBU international early education introduces some methods to promote baby's appetite, hoping to help all children who don't like to eat!

1. Most babies are "temperamental people", so don't scold them when they eat badly.

You know, to develop a good habit for your baby, you must first give them a good environment. So give the baby a warm and comfortable eating environment, don't force the child, don't put pressure on the child!

If parents reprimand the baby for not eating well, the baby will be even more reluctant to eat. Even if you eat it, it will be like chewing wax, which is not only tasteless but also affects the absorption of nutrients. And forcing children to eat can easily lead to food accumulation and vomiting.

When children are forced to eat a certain food, they will have rebellious psychology and affect their appetite. The older you get, the more serious this situation will be. You let me eat, I don't eat', or deal with it. Some parents often say; You give me this bill, and the child will give it to you. Originally, appetite was the basic desire of human beings, but it was completed by children as a task, which lost the original meaning of eating and adversely affected the normal development of children's appetite.

2. The shape of food will affect the baby's appetite.

Many babies don't like green vegetables. We can chop them up and wrap them in jiaozi, or steam them into the shape of cute mice or rabbits.

3, the nature of food, the impact on the baby's stomach.

The weather is dry this season, and the baby is easy to get angry. Some parents will give their babies persimmons and grapefruit to clear the fire. As everyone knows, these things are cold, and eating too much will cool the stomach. The baby's stomach is not as strong as adults, which is easy to cause diarrhea, which will lead to the baby's loss of appetite.

There are fragrant sugar-fried chestnuts, and all kinds of nuts are children's favorite, but these things are oily and will swell up if you eat too much. If their stomachs are swollen, where can the baby have an appetite for staple food?

4, let the baby exercise more, can promote appetite and promote absorption.

Children can choose outdoor activities according to their age, increase the amount of activities, and choose different exercise methods to keep their blood flowing and keep their appetite. For children with poor digestive ability, they can often give abdominal massage to help digestion.

5. For babies with small appetite, stop all kinds of snacks.

If the baby doesn't like to eat, and the appetite is small, then stop all snacks and all seasoning water (all kinds of seasoning water are destructive to the stomach), especially within one hour before meals, don't give the baby any snacks.

Don't let children eat snacks, let them stay on an empty stomach before each meal, and create a kind of' hunger state' to stimulate the appetite center of the brain to produce appetite, so that children can be' hungry', which can not only prevent the occurrence of partial eclipse, but also make children feel physical and emotional satisfaction after eating, thus promoting the further development and perfection of appetite instinct.

At the same time, it is necessary to control the amount of sugar eaten by children, especially before meals 1-2 hours, so that children's hypoglycemia can directly stimulate the appetite of the nerve center.

6. To form good habits, parents should be "ruthless"

It is not easy to form a good habit. Parents must be cruel sometimes.

For example, if the baby says she won't eat, then don't be afraid that she is hungry, but play the game of eagle catching chickens and drive them everywhere; If the adults have already had a good meal, the baby has left more than half of the bowl because of inattention. As a parent, you should also be determined to wait until the next meal!

Some parents disapprove of this practice and worry that it will damage their children's intestines and stomach; You can definitely answer: "No"; Because the stomach is not good, it is caused by long-term bad habits; At this point, it is also necessary to develop good eating habits for the baby.

Precautions for babies who don't like food or have a bad appetite

Attention, mothers: Eat according to the total amount, not two meals at a time. When the baby refuses the food prepared by his mother, don't react too violently, which only shows that he doesn't want to eat. Don't force your baby to eat, don't turn eating into a "seesaw battle", and extend the meal time by 30 minutes. If you think your baby is not full, give him some snacks, such as fruit or milk, after 1-2 hours. Three staple foods and two snacks a day are enough.

Some children will refuse certain foods for a long time. Don't worry, as long as the overall diet is balanced. If the baby sees too much rice in the bowl, he will get bored. In fact, mother can give him a bigger bowl, or put less rice, so that the baby can accept it psychologically first, and then gradually increase it later. This is what a smart mother should do.

Parents should know that the baby's appetite will fluctuate, especially for two or three-year-old babies. He may not grow as fast as before, so he doesn't show hunger as often as before. If the baby doesn't want to eat, it may be because he is not hungry, or teething, or because other things in the room attract his attention. Mom and dad should remember not to force him to eat, and not to turn eating into war.
