my baby not eating food proper

1 Answer

A. It's common for toddlers to eat only very small amounts, to be fussy about what they eat, and to refuse to eat at all. There are a few reasons for this: Toddler appetites vary constantly because of growth spurts and variations in activity. Toddlers aren't growing as fast as babies, so they need less food.Sit and eat with your child.Offer new foods many times.Give your child enough time to eat.Let your child feed themselves.Keep mealtimes calm and reduce distractions.Try offering the same food in different ways.For children over 1 year old, appetites increase and decrease according to age, energy levels, periods of growth, and temperament. If your child appears healthy and happy, there is probably no reason to be concerned about a temporary slump in appetite.At 1 year, solid foods – including healthy snacks – are now your child's main source of energy and nutrition. He can take between three quarters to one cup of food three to four times a day, plus one to two snacks between meals. Continue breastfeeding as much as your child wants, until he is at least 2 years old.
