Many people know that being picky about food is a bad phenomenon, but once a picky eating habit is formed, it is difficult to change. It can not only cause insufficient nutrient intake, but also lead to a lack of some nutrients. Therefore, it is important to avoid this situation when babies are young. So what should a one-and-a-half-year-old baby do if they are picky eaters?
If a one and a half year old baby has picky eating habits, they can squeeze some foods that the baby doesn't like into juice or make them into foods that look more attractive and attractive to the baby. For the health of the baby, parents at this time must read more books on this topic and make more complementary foods that the baby is interested in, in order to reduce the occurrence of picky eating.
If a baby is picky about food, they may experience iron deficiency, calcium deficiency, and other nutritional deficiencies. Long term adjustments can also slow down the baby's growth and development, and even affect their normal brain development. If you want your baby to not be picky about food, you must make timely changes.
The reason why a one and a half year old baby is picky about food may be closely related to the addition of complementary foods, especially if the baby is given a lot of fruits from the beginning but not vegetables. This can make the baby accustomed to the sweet taste and dislike the taste of vegetables, resulting in picky eating when starting to eat complementary foods. If salt is added too early, it can also lead to the adverse consequences of picky eating.
