How long will the baby's anorexia last? How to regulate the baby's appetite?

In the process of growth and development, babies are prone to anorexia. Today, let's talk about how parents should deal with these problems if babies enter the anorexia period. How to correctly deal with the problem of baby's anorexia is a skill that parents must learn.

How long will the baby's anorexia last?

Some babies' anorexia period only lasts for one or two weeks, while others last for one or two months. Because each baby's physique and growth environment are different, the length of the anorexia period is also different. No matter how long the baby's anorexia period is, mothers and fathers need to treat the baby's anorexia correctly and patiently, and cultivate good eating habits in the baby from an early age.

What to do if your baby has anorexia

Children's anorexia is a very worrying problem for mothers. Every mother hopes that her children will grow up healthy and strong, which is extremely important for their independent life in adulthood. So what should mothers do if their children have anorexia? Conventional treatment:

1. First take your child to the pediatrics or gastroenterology department of a regular hospital for a comprehensive and detailed examination to rule out chronic diseases that can cause anorexia, and to rule out iron and zinc deficiency.

2. Eat regularly, take meals on time, and ensure food hygiene; have a regular life, get enough sleep, and have regular bowel movements; have comprehensive nutrition, eat more whole grains, fruits and vegetables; eat less snacks and sweets, and drink less beverages.

3. Improve the eating environment so that children can concentrate on eating and keep a good mood.

4. Parents should avoid behaviors such as "chasing and feeding" and paying too much attention to their children's eating. When a child deliberately refuses to eat, parents should not indulge him/her. If he/she skips one or two meals, parents should not worry, as this means that the energy intake of the child is sufficient and the child will naturally ask to eat after a certain period of time. Parents should never use meeting the child's demands as a condition for getting the child to eat.

5. Do not take medicine blindly and do not abuse health supplements. You can take Chinese and Western medicines to regulate the spleen and stomach and promote digestion and absorption, such as: Jianer Xiaoshi oral liquid, Xiaoer Xiaoji pills, Xiaoer Xishi tablets, Jianpi cake tablets, Da Shanzhao granules and Jianer powder, etc.

What are the common causes of anorexia in children?

1. Irregular diet, no fixed eating time, prolonged or shortened eating time, and the normal gastrointestinal digestion pattern is disrupted;

2. One-sided pursuit of high nutrition, feeding meat, eggs and milk without restraint, damaging the gastrointestinal tract and causing indigestion;

3. Constant snacking, constant mouthfeeling and a restless stomach can lead to gastrointestinal motility and secretion disorders;

4. High-calorie beverages, ice cream, chocolate, etc. keep blood sugar at a high level without feeling hungry;

5. Poor eating environment, playing while eating, or parents teasing or scolding children while eating, which prevents the food center of the cerebral cortex from forming a dominant excitation focus;

6. Parents pay too much attention to their children's eating, which makes their children rebellious and use refusing to eat as a bargaining chip to make conditions;

7. Lack of exercise, reduced metabolism, and failure to strengthen gastrointestinal digestive function;

8. Taking too many medicines or abusing health supplements will increase the burden on gastrointestinal digestion and absorption;

Others: irregular lifestyle, insufficient sleep, excessive fatigue, constipation, physical discomfort, etc. are also reasons for anorexia that cannot be ignored.
