What should I do if my child doesn't have a good appetite?

Patient's question:

The child's appetite is not good, as a parent, I am very worried, afraid that the child's condition will worsen. Regarding the question I just mentioned, I hope the doctor can answer.

Doctor's answer:

Babies are born with the natural ability to seek and suck, but the chewing function does not naturally develop with age. It must be acquired through repeated stimulation of the mouth and throat, continuous learning, and training. Parents can let babies feed themselves with their hands, allowing them to satisfy their desire to choose and handle food themselves. This approach will make them more interested in food and eating, and enhance their motivation to learn.
