Patient's question:
The child has been crying non-stop recently and isn't eating much. May a 3-year-old child eat chocolate?Doctor's answer:
Hello, 3-year-old children should not eat chocolate frequently. Chocolate contains a lot of fat and lacks dietary fiber that can stimulate normal gastrointestinal motility, thus affecting the digestive and absorption functions of the gastrointestinal tract. However, if there is no allergy, they can eat it. There is nothing special about giving them more to eat; it is best to ensure comprehensive nutrition to avoid picky eating in the future. It is best to give them more vegetables and fruits, and eat less meat. This shrimp is relatively high in calcium, and eating it regularly will not have any adverse effects. Therefore, you don't need to worry at all. It is recommended to supplement fish oil daily for the child, as this is beneficial for calcium absorption.
