What should I do?
Doctor's answer:
It may be due to improper feeding, leading to indigestion. Or it could be caused by excessive snacking and sweet foods, resulting in weakened spleen and stomach function. This is a common issue among babies, so it's important to limit their snacking and establish good eating habits at dinner time. You can also offer appetizing foods for your baby.According to your description, there may be a deficiency in trace elements, such as zinc deficiency causing loss of appetite. In such cases, oral zinc supplements can be given. Additionally, dietary adjustments can help, such as increasing the intake of animal-based foods.
