Kind of Help Needed: Please help with treating the baby's eating problem.
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to carefully check for the possibility of zinc deficiency and digestive problems. Consider taking oral zinc gluconate and Shanmai Jianpi Koufuye for a try. To make the child eat well, it is also important to pay attention to the method. Some children have picky eating habits, and parents become very anxious. In order to coax the child to eat dinner, some parents use toys to distract the child during meals, while others let the child eat while playing... 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 so that he can have an easy and pleasant bowel movement. The digestive system is affected by emotions; when a person is tense, it can lead to a decrease in appetite. Therefore, when the child is defecating, adults should avoid loud laughter or joking, and absolutely should not distract the child by asking them to do this or that.
