Babies may not like to eat for a period of time when they are over one year old, and mothers will be very worried and will try their best to make their babies eat. For this situation, mothers should first understand their baby's diet and food intake before making changes. So, what if a one year and three month old baby doesn't like to eat?
One reason is that a baby's appetite is not fixed, and changes in their appetite can be related to factors such as weather, food, or surrounding environment. If a baby maintains the same food intake throughout the year, it can easily lead to symptoms of indigestion. Mothers should first understand their babies' food intake and identify their preferred foods, which can gradually help them adjust. If the baby has symptoms such as low-grade fever, poor complexion, and no weight gain, they should go to the hospital for examination.
Secondly, mothers should take their babies outdoors more, strengthen physical exercise, expose them to more sunlight, and increase their body's resistance. Babies should absorb more fresh outdoor air and sunlight, which can promote their nutrient absorption and increase their appetite.
Thirdly, babies may have become tired of a certain type of food. At this time, mothers should not force their babies to eat it. Instead, they should consider switching to a different type of food and cooking techniques to gradually help their babies adapt to the taste and texture of various dishes. Sometimes babies like to eat snacks. If a baby doesn't like to eat but eats snacks, it's about controlling their snack consumption.
