How to deal with a 13-month-old child who doesn't like many things?

Patient's question:

Hello, my baby is over thirteen months old and has never eaten meat. He also doesn't eat fruits or vegetables. Recently, whenever he sees food, he hides. What could be the reason for this?

Doctor's answer:

A child's poor appetite may be due to a lack of trace elements. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a trace element test to check if they are deficient in zinc and supplement accordingly. Additionally, it is necessary to examine the child for any other potential diseases. Generally, a 13-month-old baby loves to eat everything, and at this stage, babies are curious about everything. It is important to take this seriously and take the child to the hospital for a thorough examination. After the doctor's advice, appropriate treatment can be administered.
