At six months old, mothers should start adding complementary foods to their babies appropriately. Many mothers, due to adding complementary foods too late, have caused their children to stop eating at the age of one and only breastfeed. So, what if a one year old baby only eats breast milk without eating?
Firstly, a child's lack of appetite may be due to poor spleen and stomach function. Children with good spleen and stomach function have good digestive function and strong body, while babies with weak spleen and stomach function are prone to indigestion and do not like to eat. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the regulation of their children's spleen and stomach function. Taking children to see traditional Chinese medicine is a good choice.
Secondly, the phenomenon of children skipping meals may also be due to zinc deficiency. Children with zinc deficiency may experience anorexia. Parents can give their children some zinc supplements to improve their condition. In addition, when a child is one year old, the quality of breast milk is already relatively poor. Mothers can feed their children appropriately so that they can gradually guide them to eat.
Finally, it is recommended that mothers gradually reduce the frequency of breastfeeding and not become soft hearted just because their children cannot drink breast milk and cry. In addition, it is best for mothers to make complementary foods for their children according to the baby's preferred taste. Making the food more delicious will increase the baby's appetite. Mothers must have patience and slowly guide their children to eat, otherwise it may cause malnutrition.
