Patient's question:
My baby is 17 months old. Previously, she always loved drinking milk and would show great eagerness whenever it was mentioned. However, after experiencing indigestion and diarrhea last week, even after she recovered, she has been reluctant to drink milk. When milk is brought to her, she spits it out immediately, looking very disgusted. Could you please help me understand what might be causing this?Doctor's answer:
Dear Parent,In fact, children, like adults, have cyclical appetite patterns. For example, even adults would get tired of eating McDonald's every day and lose their appetite. Moreover, your baby has just recovered from "indigestion and diarrhea," and they are already 17 months old. At this time, you can give them some light and easily digestible foods, such as rice soup, noodle soup, bread, or flat noodles.
