Patient's question:
My baby is only eight and a half months old and hasn't reached one year yet, but his appetite is very small. Almost every day, he can only drink two bottles of milk and doesn't eat anything. I'm worried that he might have infant anorexia. This disease is very difficult to treat, so I wanted to ask you how to treat infant anorexia better?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of pediatric anorexia are not caused by diseases but are triggered by long-term poor eating habits, unsuitable dietary routines, and suboptimal eating environments. Poor eating habits are the root cause of this condition. First, it is important to verify whether the food is unpalatable. Additionally, at such a young age (only a few months), children naturally cannot consume much food and primarily rely on formula and breast milk.
