Question
My baby doesn’t like to eat, and whenever it’s time for meals, they say they’re not hungry and start to have trouble. Moreover, they are picky eaters and can eat as much of snacks as they want. What could be the reason for this, and how can it be managed?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, it is often due to what traditional Chinese medicine refers to as weak spleen and stomach. Generally, you can try some compound pepsin granules, acupuncture at the Four Seams point may also be effective, and pediatric acupuncture, pushing the San Guan and draining the Liufu techniques are also good options. You can also consider the Grasping the Accumulation therapy. These are suggestions for the issue of “my five-year-old baby always refuses to eat dinner.” I hope this helps you, and wish you health!
