What causes great headaches for mothers is encountering a picky eating baby. Sometimes, mothers use all their efforts just to ensure that the baby can finish a bowl of rice properly. Have mothers ever thought about the reasons behind their baby's picky eating habits? When babies are completely disinterested in food, mothers should be more vigilant. Do mothers know what causes a three-year-old baby to lose appetite?
1. Eating disorder. Some babies have very irregular eating habits, causing them to skip meals when they should and eat desperately when they shouldn't. Such irregular eating habits can gradually cause babies to develop anorexia, which parents need to pay extra attention to.
2. Gastrointestinal indigestion. If mothers give their babies too much food, or eat too much cold food and snacks. This will cause the baby's digestive system to become overloaded, resulting in symptoms of indigestion. When babies have indigestion, they are naturally not interested in food.
3. Lack of zinc. When babies are zinc deficient, they may also experience symptoms of anorexia, which is a basic manifestation of zinc deficiency. But when zinc is deficient, the baby's body is also accompanied by some other symptoms, such as pica and so on. Therefore, if mothers discover that their babies are deficient in zinc, they should promptly supplement them with trace elements.
