Question
My baby is almost one year old, and lately, the baby’s appetite has suddenly become very poor. It seems like the baby doesn’t feel hungry at all and won’t eat anything. So, what should we do?
Answer
Hello, a child with poor appetite might be related to deficiencies in trace elements, lack of good eating habits, or disharmony in the spleen and stomach. Children deficient in zinc or calcium may experience poor appetite. It is recommended to undergo a trace element test and appropriately supplement to correct the situation. Moreover, cultivating good eating habits in babies is not easy; it starts with introducing complementary foods and allowing the baby to gradually get used to various flavors of food. You can try making food in different shapes and colors to attract your baby’s appetite.
