Patient's question:
Recently, my child only eats a few bites at meals, but he can finish a whole bowl of noodles. I want him to eat more, so I cook noodles for him every night. I add some fresh vegetables and meat to the noodles. I wonder if this diet will affect his development.Doctor's answer:
The period of a child's metamorphosis and development requires a substantial amount of nutrition to ensure the body's growth and development, as well as the supply of various nutrients such as calcium, trace elements, and vitamins.First, you can verify that the diet you provide for your child will not affect its growth and development. You can replace noodles with hand-rolled noodles and add eggs or juices of vegetables that many children dislike to ensure more comprehensive nutrition. The broth used to cook the noodles can be enhanced with bone broth to strengthen calcium, which would be more beneficial.
However, it is important to pay attention to the reasons for your child's recent lack of appetite. You can have your child undergo a trace element test and also consider whether there are parasites in their stomach. Adjust accordingly based on the symptoms, and your child will soon return to normal.
Wishing your child healthy growth under the care of your family!
