Question
My baby is already 1 year and 7 months old, and he only eats vegetables and not rice. Sometimes he wraps the rice in the vegetables, but he’s very clever, knowing there’s rice inside, he will spit it out. If he continues like this, I’m worried about his nutrition not keeping up, and it’s easy for him to get hungry at night without eating rice. At this age, he still needs to drink milk two or three times at night. What should I do?
Answer
Based on your description, it seems that your baby may not be interested in rice and prefers vegetables. It is recommended to offer a variety of food choices to your baby, including colorful dishes and nutritionally balanced meals. Try making some interesting dishes to stimulate your baby’s appetite. Additionally, you can try controlling the amount of vegetables your baby eats and encourage him to eat more staple foods. If your baby still refuses to eat rice, it is advisable to consult a doctor promptly to rule out any potential health issues.
