Patient's question:
Unless very hungry, he will only eat a little if coaxed, and once there's something in his stomach, he dares not eat more.Past treatment and effects: I went to the local hospital and got a few bottles of stomach-strengthening medicine. After taking it for a few days, there was no improvement, and he still wouldn't eat.
What kind of assistance is needed: What foods are easy for an 11-month-old baby to digest, and which ones are not suitable for infants?
Doctor's answer:
There are many factors that can cause children to dislike eating, such as nutritional deficiencies, digestive system diseases, and infections from pathogens. It is important to regularly assess children's physical growth and development and nutritional status to determine if their poor appetite is due to illness. Early detection and appropriate treatment can prevent a vicious cycle from interfering with their normal growth and development.When a child is healthy, it is advisable not to place too much emphasis on their dinner. Let nature take its course—when they are hungry, they will naturally eat. It is important to ensure they eat meals on time and not consume excessive sweets or cold drinks before meals, as these can suppress their appetite. Regular bowel movements should also be encouraged.
