Question
A 17-month-old toddler, who previously had a strong interest in drinking milk, has started to refuse it since experiencing dyspepsia and diarrhea. Even after recovery, the child vomits milk and shows a clear aversion. Experts, what could be the reasons for this situation?
Answer
Dear parents, a child’s appetite is similar to that of adults and can have periodic changes. Even if an adult were to eat the same fast food every day, they would grow tired of it. Considering that your baby has just experienced dyspepsia and diarrhea, their appetite may have been affected as a result. Since your baby is 17 months old, it is recommended that you offer some light and easily digestible foods such as rice porridge, noodle soup, bread, or noodles to help them regain their appetite.
