Patient's question:
The baby is fourteen months old and has always had two milk meals in the morning and evening, and three meals (noodles, dumplings, rice) rotating throughout the day. However, in the past three or four days, she hasn't eaten rice at all, not even a bite, and she also refuses vegetables. It's unclear why she seems uninterested in eating. I'm worried she might get hungry, so I've been giving her more milk, but eating milk at night makes her wake up hungry in the middle of the night. Previously, she used to sleep straight through until seven.Doctor's answer:
Breastfeeding and complementary feeding should be done in parallel. It's not that complementary feeding starts because of breastfeeding; rather, the child has already been eating complementary foods well before weaning. Therefore, there is no significant change in the addition of complementary foods before and after weaning, and weaning should not affect the child's normal intake of complementary foods. It's important to ensure the child drinks plenty of plain water or formula milk regularly.There are many triggers for childhood diabetes. If a child is diagnosed with childhood diabetes, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let the child develop picky eating habits and maintain a balanced diet.
