Adequate nutrition is essential for healthy growth in babies, but if a baby has a poor appetite, they often show reluctance to eat, which can lead to malnutrition over time and even hinder healthy growth. So, it is important to pay attention to a baby's poor appetite early on. So, what is an appetizer for a baby who doesn't have a good appetite?
It is recommended that babies eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as apples. Apples contain many substances that help with digestion. In traditional Chinese medicine, apples are believed to have the functions of strengthening the spleen, benefiting the stomach, generating fluids, and quenching thirst. In addition, apples also contain many trace elements and minerals such as zinc, copper, iodine, potassium, etc., which can regulate the body's fluid balance and reduce the feeling of loss of appetite, making them very suitable for babies to consume.
Secondly, it is recommended to encourage babies to eat more hawthorn, as hawthorn has the functions of promoting digestion, promoting blood circulation, and removing blood stasis. Most importantly, it can also enhance babies' immune system, eliminate bacteria and pathogens in the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, hawthorn can also treat symptoms such as indigestion and refusal to eat in babies.
Finally, due to the sweet and delicious taste of papaya, many babies are also very willing to eat it. Papaya contains an enzyme that can digest protein and help the body absorb and digest it, making it a good fruit for improving digestive problems. If the baby does not want to eat solid food, they can also develop fruit juice for the baby to drink.
