Patient's question:
Children always postpone dinner at dinner time and don't want to eat dinner, but they eat a lot of snacks. However, when it comes to regular meals, they want to avoid them, eating only a little. Recently, the child has lost a lot of weight and often complains of stomach pain. What kind of assistance is needed: Is the child not wanting to eat dinner a symptom of an illness?Doctor's answer:
To get your baby to love dinner, you can try the following approaches:Each time parents prepare a little delicious food, the portion should be small, not letting the child eat to their full capacity. This way, the child will look forward to more food next time. If the child is reluctant to eat, parents should not coax them; instead, remove the food immediately.
Between meals, snacks should be strictly avoided. Use methods like drinking water or diverting attention to wait until the next mealtime. When the baby's biological hunger clock signals hunger, it helps suppress gastric acid secretion, which is effective in stimulating their appetite.
