A one year old baby should have already started eating complementary foods, as the nutrients in the breast milk consumed by the baby six months after birth are no longer sufficient to meet the baby's physical needs. Therefore, parents need to start adding complementary foods to their baby's diet. However, some parents may not know how to add complementary foods, leading to their babies not liking them. So, what if a one year old baby doesn't like to eat complementary foods?
Baby doesn't like to eat complementary foods, it may be because the baby is not satisfied with the taste of complementary foods. Although babies are still young, they also have taste buds and can taste. If the taste of complementary foods is too light, too salty, too bitter, etc., babies will not want to eat them. Therefore, when parents give their babies complementary foods, it is best to personally try the taste and temperature of the complementary foods to avoid poor taste and high temperature, which may make the baby unhappy. Parents can also make adjustments in a timely manner.
Some babies may not like to eat complementary foods due to indigestion, but this situation is temporary. As long as parents take good care of their babies' bodies and let them eat some digestive vegetables and fruits. After the baby's health improves, they will start eating complementary foods. So, if the baby does not eat complementary foods, parents should first rule out conditions such as indigestion and constipation.
In addition, a lack of trace elements in the baby's body, such as zinc, can cause slow gastrointestinal motility and poor appetite, making it difficult for the baby to eat normally. Therefore, it is best for parents to take the baby to check whether there is a lack of trace elements in the body to ensure the baby's physical health. If there is, then it should be supplemented as soon as possible. Moreover, parents can also choose some beautiful tableware for their babies to eat. Babies are always curious about new things, which can easily increase their acceptance and experimentation with things.
