A one year old baby is already able to eat a variety of foods, so it is important to pay attention to complementary feeding during this stage. But some babies may not like to eat complementary foods and only like to drink milk, which can make parents feel unsure how to deal with it. So, what should a one year old baby do if they don't like to eat and only drink milk?
1. As parents, the first thing to do is to change your cooking skills and create more exquisite and flavorful complementary foods. This can better arouse the baby's interest in complementary foods, so that the focus can shift from breastfeeding to complementary foods, which will be helpful in changing the phenomenon of babies only loving breastfeeding and not liking complementary foods.
2. One year old babies already have self-awareness and prefer to participate and try more. At this time, babies should be allowed to grab food with their hands, but they must pay attention to hand hygiene in order to better generate their interest in eating.
3. Sometimes babies may refuse new foods, but as a nutritious complementary food, it is not recommended to change frequently. It is important to try feeding your baby several times to give them enough opportunities to try and eat. Additionally, do not mix too many types of complementary foods with each meal.
4. Another important point is that as parents, when feeding your baby complementary foods, you must be careful, patient, and maintain a happy mood. You should not feel anxious or force your baby to eat, as such behavior can easily lead to a refusal to eat.
