Patient's question:
The child has a problem with poor appetite. At one year old, he was mainly fed with formula milk and rarely breastfed. What should I do in this situation? The child dislikes eating, what should I do? The child is two years old and doesn't like to eat much, only drinking formula milk. How can I get her to eat more?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is recommended to see a doctor to check for possible zinc deficiency and indigestion. Avoid consuming MSG and chicken essence, as they can easily lead to zinc deficiency and potentially cause a loss of appetite. Additionally, be sure to control snack intake. Also, the weather being hot could be a contributing factor. Try to choose foods that your child enjoys, frequently vary meal options, change cooking methods, and aim for a balance of color, flavor, and aroma to stimulate their appetite. Increasing outdoor activities and exercise for your child can also help promote their appetite.
