POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy5 months agoA. If your daughter (3 years, 7 months) is not eating at all, it can be concerning, but there are several possible reasons and solutions.
Possible Reasons for Not Eating: Low Appetite – Some kids naturally have a smaller appetite. Picky Eating Habits – She may prefer certain textures or flavors. Distractions – TV, mobile, or toys during meals can reduce interest in food. Nutrient Deficiency – Lack of iron or zinc can reduce hunger. Digestive Issues – Constipation, gas, or acidity may cause discomfort. Emotional Reasons – Stress, anxiety, or changes in routine can affect eating habits. How to Encourage Eating:
✅ Set a Routine – Offer meals at fixed times without force.
✅ Small Portions – Serve tiny amounts; increase if she wants more.
✅ Make Food Fun – Use colorful plates, shapes, and finger foods.
✅ Family Meals – Eat together without screens to encourage her.
✅ Offer Variety – Try different textures (soft, crunchy, liquid).
✅ Avoid Force-Feeding – Let her decide how much to eat.
✅ Give Appetizing Drinks – Smoothies, milkshakes, or homemade soups.
✅ Check for Deficiencies – Low iron or zinc can reduce hunger; a pediatrician can suggest supplements if needed.
If she refuses all foods for a long time, appears weak, irritable, or losing weight, consult a pediatrician to rule out underlying health concerns.
