How to prevent children from eating snacks instead of meals

Patient's question:

Son is 2 years old. Every time he eats, it takes a lot of effort to eat just a little bit. Most of it is snacks. How can I control it? Thank you!!

Doctor's answer:

It's best to feed your baby as little snack food as possible. Their diet should be comprehensive and varied, with different dishes prepared for them every day. When your baby enjoys their meals and is full, they naturally won't crave snacks. If you want your baby to eat more, their food should be tasty and presented in a variety of ways. The types of food should also be diverse. Every stage of a baby's growth has different needs, and their preferences can reflect their body's requirements. Children change a little every day and more significantly every three or five days. If their food remains the same, it won't meet their physical or psychological needs.
