At 13 months old, babies have already entered the stage of complementary feeding, and simply eating milk powder is no longer enough to meet the body's nutritional needs. Therefore, many parents will feed their babies at this time. But some babies only love to eat formula and have no interest in food, which is a headache for many parents. So, what should a 13 month old baby do if they don't like to eat?
A 13 month old baby who doesn't like to eat may be due to parents adding complementary foods incorrectly.
Parents can pay attention to the following things:,
Firstly, it is important to choose easily digestible and swallowing foods for the baby. Alternatively, the food can be made into paste, strips, or slices, making it easier for the baby to eat and increasing their interest in eating.
Secondly, adding complementary foods to babies should be done gradually, preferably without adding too many seasonings, allowing babies to fully experience the taste of the food and gradually adapt, so that babies can more easily accept eating.
Thirdly, parents can choose some cute tableware for their babies, preferably with patterns that the baby likes, so that the baby will be more proactive in eating. Or make food into cute patterns, increase food color and shape, and enhance infants' interest in eating. Finally, if the baby is still very unwilling to eat, parents should not be too anxious and should patiently feed the baby, avoiding scolding or punishment, which will only backfire.
