Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my baby is 12 months old and has been refusing to eat fruits and vegetables, spitting them out with his tongue. What should I do? He is constipated now and weighs 20 pounds with a height of 72 cm. At 12 months, he still only weighs 20 pounds.Doctor's answer:
This can be a way to change the way fruits are served. For example, use a blender to puree the fruits and then feed them to the children. As for vegetables, he can try other dishes. Give him a taste of broccoli, which looks both nutritious and appealing. This way, he can gradually develop a taste for vegetables and fruits. It is recommended that feeding should be done in small amounts and multiple times a day. Let the child gradually get used to the taste. It is essential to give the child plenty of water.
