What should I do if my child is picky about food and doesn't grow? What should I do if my child is particularly picky about food?

It is quite common for children to be picky eaters. There are many reasons for this. Parents should make immediate adjustments and try their best to improve their children's picky eating. However, if children do not eat well, they are prone to malnutrition. Therefore, let's find out what to do if children are picky eaters and do not grow taller? What to do if children are particularly picky eaters?

1. When parents prepare food for their babies, they should make it as colorful, fragrant and delicious as possible so that the baby will have an appetite when seeing the food.

2. The food should be varied. If the baby doesn’t like stir-fried dishes, you can make them into buns, dumplings, pies or other forms to make the baby accept them.

3. If your baby doesn’t like a certain food, don’t use violence to force him to eat it. Try to communicate with your baby in gentle words about the benefits of this food. Let your baby try it, and if it works, then slowly increase the amount of food he eats.

4. You can set a role model for your baby, which can be your parents or other children. It is best to be a positive role model and try to avoid mentioning your baby's aversion to certain foods in front of him, which can reinforce your baby's anorexic behavior.

The main reason why babies are picky eaters is that their spleen and stomach are weak in digestion. You can treat these picky eating symptoms by following these steps: First, develop good eating habits, eat on time, and control snacks appropriately. Second, you should have a diversified diet, with a balanced diet of meat and vegetables, coarse grains and fine grains, and vegetables and fruits. Third, you should limit the intake of cold drinks and sweets, because the spleen and stomach are weak, and eating cold drinks and sweets will further reduce the digestive function, so you should control the intake of sweets and cold drinks. Fourth, pay attention to cooking methods, pay attention to color, fragrance and taste, and avoid adding additives that are not good for the body. You can use ingredients such as ketchup, curry, pepper juice, and lemon juice to cover up the smell of the ingredients that your baby is picky about, so that your baby can't distinguish the tastes that he originally hates, and deceive your baby's taste buds. You can also make the ingredients that your baby hates to eat into small particles, and by chopping, juicing, grinding, etc., make it impossible for your baby to distinguish what food he is eating, so that he can't choose. You can also change the way the dishes are arranged and the combinations, mix the foods he likes and dislikes together, cook them the way he likes, and let him slowly forget those strange tastes, turning them from being hated into being loved.

Children are picky eaters. Generally, it is due to the lack of trace element zinc. Of course, it may also be due to spleen and stomach disharmony and weak spleen and stomach function, which leads to picky eating and partial eating. In this case, you can take your child to the hospital to check the trace elements. If the trace element zinc is indeed lacking, you can give your child zinc gluconate oral solution for a period of time. In addition, giving your child more sesame, fungus, oysters, etc. can also help supplement zinc. If the child is not lacking in elements, you can give your child Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets or Qipi pills for a period of time. It is recommended to feed the baby reasonably, pay attention to the balance of meat and vegetables, cook a variety of foods according to the baby's preferences to increase the baby's appetite, and do not give the baby any snacks and drinks one hour before meals to create a good dining environment and develop good dining habits.

If a child has a picky eating problem, education and adjustment should be actively carried out: 1. Tell the child that picky eating is wrong. You can reason with the child, and also use stories and fairy tales to let him know that picky eating is wrong and will harm the body and cause weakness, disease, short growth, ugly, and unattractiveness. The child will be able to realize that picky eating is wrong and has serious harm, and will be able to actively eat and have a balanced diet; 2. Picky eating behavior should be stopped in time. Once discovered, it should be stopped immediately. This issue must have a clear attitude and firm means. You cannot compromise or drag the problem to tomorrow. Only in this way can the child know the bottom line and principles; 3. Actively encourage children to eat more vegetables and fruits to give them more motivation not to be picky eaters. Instead of preventing the occurrence of picky eating problems, it is better to actively encourage the desired behavior, such as encouraging them to eat more vegetables and green leafy vegetables during meals.
