Patient's question:
My child is two weeks old. Every time I ask him to eat, he gets very impatient. He always eats while playing, taking a bite and then playing for a while, sometimes getting very impatient. He is also picky. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Poor eating habits may be the cause of a child's picky eating. If a child is developing normally, meaning their height and weight are appropriate, their hair is thick, and they are in good spirits, their picky eating behavior can be corrected by changing their dietary habits. If a child dislikes carrots, celery, or other vegetables, they can eat alternatives like pumpkin or luffa. It's important not to force them to accept a particular food, as forcing them will make them even less willing to eat well. Additionally, as previously mentioned, prepare disliked foods in other forms, such as dumplings or fruit and vegetable juices, and gradually adjust their dietary habits.
