What will help increase appetite
1. Power Mode. Often parents themselves are the culprits of the fact that the baby refuses to eat. This is typical of the majority of families where they do not comply with the diet, in the intervals between the main feeders feed the child with flour and confectionery, fruit, excessively loaded with liquid, especially juices. In order for the child to eat more readily, it is necessary to diversify the menu as much as possible, to feed it only at certain hours and in a calm atmosphere, in a clean and well-ventilated room, without hurrying up and in no case forcing him to eat by force. All attempts to entertain a baby during a meal (pictures, fairy tales, toys, etc.) do not contribute to improving his appetite, but only teach to eat without noticing food. A good mood of the child and his willingness to take food. Children who do not travel much in the air, do not move much, and become lethargic. The child will eat badly if he is overworked, if he is planted at a table excited by a moving game or upset, with tears in his eyes. You should also take into account the temperature of the environment and the body of the baby, as overheating increases thirst, and the juice and appetite decreases. Therefore, persistent feeding of children in the heat, in a stuffy hot room or during a fever can cause them to feel nauseous and vomiting.
