Question
A 3-year-old child is consistently showing a lack of appetite in the morning, showing no interest in breakfast milk products and solid foods, and even experiencing vomiting. However, the child’s eating habits are normal during lunch and in the afternoon, with a sufficient appetite.
Answer
This symptom may be a sign of dyspepsia. It is recommended that parents ensure the child drinks enough water and adopt a diet of small meals throughout the day to increase nutrient intake. Avoid excessive eating at night to prevent incomplete digestion during the night, leading to a lack of appetite in the morning. At the same time, establish regular meal times to avoid overfeeding high-nutrient foods without control, which may harm the gastrointestinal tract and cause dyspepsia. Reduce the intake of snacks to maintain normal peristalsis and secretion function of the gastrointestinal tract.
