Patient's question:
Since the second half of last month, the baby's milk (powdered milk) intake has not been good. It takes three or four attempts to finish 150ml of milk, and the baby doesn't cry or fuss even if it doesn't eat for 6 or 7 hours. The mental state is still okay.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.
What kind of help is needed: Many feasible suggestions have been given.
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to carefully check for the possibility of zinc deficiency and digestive issues. Consider taking oral gluconate of zinc and Shanmai Jianpi oral liquid. To ensure the child eats well, it is also important to pay attention to the methods. Some children have picky eating habits, and parents become very anxious. To coax the child to eat dinner, some use toys to distract them, while others let them play while eating... Excessive indulgence by parents and a lack of understanding of proper feeding methods are also direct causes of children's picky eating.Guidance: Create a relatively quiet environment for the child to defecate, allowing them to relieve themselves in a relaxed and pleasant manner. The digestive system is affected by emotions; stress can lead to reduced appetite. Therefore, when the child is defecating, adults should avoid loud laughter or joking, and absolutely refrain from teasing or instructing them to do this or that.
