Patient's question:
Recently, he hasn't been eating much and only likes to eat yogurt and bread. We are very worried and don't know what to do. My son is also anemic, and his lips are a bit pale. I bought Jiangzhong Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian for my son, which he used to love, but now he doesn't want to eat it anymore. Please give me some advice on what to do.Doctor's answer:
First, it is important to evaluate whether the child's growth and development are within the normal range. Is the child's diet structure excessively high in sugary drinks or snacks replacing some meals? Is the child's activity level sufficient? More active children tend to have better appetites. Therefore, staying active is key to eating well, especially for infants. It is generally not advisable for parents to over-baby the child. Instead, provide the child with a certain amount of physical activity. When the child's appetite is poor, it is not recommended for parents to use excessive amounts of thin, liquid foods, such as soups, juices, or porridge. Under the child's tolerance, you can appropriately increase the concentration of the milk to ensure that the same volume of food can provide higher nutritional density and intake. In other words, the same volume of food can help the child absorb more nutrients.
