Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to cultivate good eating habits for children. Do not give them snacks arbitrarily. Meals should be regular. Check for trace elements to see if they are deficient in zinc, calcium, etc., and supplement them in a timely manner. When the sunlight is not too strong, expose the child to more sunlight (do not do it through glass, as it is ineffective). Massaging the abdomen and back in the morning and before bed, and having the child practice wall lizard crawling on the bed can all help improve their appetite. Wishing the baby healthy growth!
