Question
My daughter is six years old and she doesn’t seem to enjoy eating dinner much. I’m worried that this might affect her health and growth and development. Moreover, she often has a runny nose and fever. Are there any methods that can help her?
Answer
After children turn one year old, they can start eating a variety of foods from the family, including meats, eggs, fish, and shrimp, which are easier to digest. Therefore, children can absorb milk more easily and safely. For most children, formula milk after the age of one is unlikely to provide nutrients that they cannot obtain from a rich variety of complementary foods and milk. By the time children are ten months old, they should have already obtained a large amount of nutrition from complementary foods, of course, these complementary foods should contain iron and vitamins.
