Baobao was born, and the mother was busy every day. Time passed by so quickly. In the blink of an eye, the baby had already reached 16 months old, and at 16 months old, the baby could eat a lot of food. The mother who emphasized scientific parenting had basically weaned the baby, but found that the baby didn't like to eat. So what's the reason why a 16 month old baby doesn't like to eat?
At 16 months old, babies have already developed strong visual and auditory abilities to perceive the world. At this point, babies have begun to actively explore this world and have developed a strong curiosity about everything in it. When babies eat, they also need a good environment because they are easily disturbed by some things around them. If the environment where babies eat is noisy, such as feeding them with the TV on, they may be attracted by the content on the TV and may not eat properly. Many mothers think that it is because babies do not like to eat.
If a baby occasionally shows a lack of appetite, it may be due to their lack of concentration while eating. If a baby shows a long-term lack of appetite, it may be due to a lack of certain trace elements. It is necessary to take the baby to the hospital for trace element testing in a timely manner. Generally speaking, babies who lack zinc are more likely to not like to eat. At this time, it is necessary to supplement zinc elements to the baby in a timely manner. With sufficient zinc supplementation, the baby's condition of not liking to eat can be improved.
