Patient's question:
For the past few days, I haven't been eating dinner much, and I can't even drink much formula milk. Is this a sign of zinc deficiency or something?Past treatment history and effectiveness: I haven't seen a doctor for this. What kind of help do you need? How can I get my baby to eat well?
Doctor's answer:
There are roughly five reasons why babies may have poor appetite. They are:1. Psychological factors: Such as excessive fright.
2. Poor eating habits: Such as favoring snacks and irregular meal times.
3. Lack of nutrients in the body: Such as deficiencies in B1, lysine, or zinc.
4. Diseases: Such as digestive system disorders, other chronic conditions, or food allergies.
5. Weaning phase: Babies may go through a phase of weaning where they are less interested in milk if they previously consumed it in large amounts.
6. Insufficient energy consumption: Lack of physical activity.
Mothers need to be patient and identify the correct cause.
