In general, after six months, the baby gradually starts to add complementary food, and can touch all kinds of food except breast milk. However, some parents find that their children always don't like eating. What should the baby do if he doesn't like eating?

First, what should I do if my baby doesn't like eating?

1. Reduce the burden on the baby's stomach

If you find that your child doesn't like eating, you should pay attention to controlling the baby's diet, avoid letting the baby eat fried food, and don't eat too many sweet and cold drinks such as ice cream. Don't let the child eat snacks before eating, which will make the child more appetizing when eating dinner.

2. Pay attention to proper zinc supplementation

When children are zinc deficient, it will lead to anorexia, so when children don't like to eat, parents should take their children to the hospital for a trace element examination. If zinc deficiency is diagnosed, they can eat some zinc-supplemented preparations for treatment, and they can also eat more zinc-rich foods, such as pig liver, various seafood, walnuts, lean meat, peanuts and so on.

3. Increase children's activity

Usually, we should pay attention to appropriately increasing children's activity, especially taking children outdoors, which can promote children's metabolism, and children will be more willing to eat when they feel hungry. However, it should be noted that it is not advisable to exercise with too much activity within 3 minutes before meals, so as to avoid excessive excitement, affecting appetite and digestion, and it is not suitable to exercise immediately after meals, so as not to cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

4. Dietotherapy

If children don't like eating, you can let them drink some hawthorn porridge properly, or soak chicken gizzard-membrane in water, which can stimulate appetite and help digestion. You can also make some sweet and sour fried shrimp, whitebait scrambled eggs and other delicious foods for your children, which can stimulate their appetite.

5. Don't force the child to eat

If the child really doesn't want to eat, it means that the child is not particularly hungry, so parents should not force the child to eat at this time, otherwise it may lead to anorexia. Parents can cook some foods with all colors, flavors and shapes, such as food in the shape of small animals and food in the shape of plants, which can make children interested in food and make them more willing to eat.

Parents should not scold their children during their meals, so as not to cause their children to have resistance, even be unwilling to eat, or even have anorexia.
