My 10 month old is refusing to drink formula, she ats a very small breakfast, she does not seem to have an appetite in the morning, she then has her lunch at 11.00, refuses a bottle at 2pm now, then gets her dinner at 4pm and is now refsing her 6.30pm feed, she does not eat baby food at all, she will only eat food that I have freshly made, she has 6 teeth, how can I make up the loss of nutrients
Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. I take this opportunity to tell you certain scientific facts and relieve your distress -1. An active is a well kid even if she/ he is not eating well.2. Development of a kid is as important as, or I would say even more important than growth alone.3. As the kids grow their interest in food decreases and interest in play activities increases so that they eat small quantity and run away to play. As parents, we need to be more patient and feed than less quantity but more liquors per day.4. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed her and also make whatever you feed her calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it.5. I suggest you not to use appetite stimulants on long run as they may cause Chat Doctor. But I am very happy that you have mentioned that your kid wants are all the freshly prepared food by you this is a very good indication, and please continue that. Regards -
