The refusal of food and appetite are various stages of normal, but when the toddler is not gaining weight and lags in the growth of their peers must seek medical advice.
Toddlers are often picky with food, meticulous, sometimes nervous. It may be that some food refuse, you should not worry parents, to be compensated if another food product from the same group, in this or the next meal.
Every mother knows that children know to be very troublesome and picky when it comes to food. One of the most strenuous period was one where a child is two years, partly due to fussiness and obstinacy of the child, partly because not all parents know what they really need children of that age.
What often gets confused, and worried parents, is that a child of two years, has a smaller appetite than infants.How so?
The explanation is simple - two year old is growing more slowly than babies. Trošić more energy to move, but the less calories it will take to grow, so he will not need so much food.
Toddlers are often picky with food, meticulous, sometimes nervous. It may be that some food refuse, you should not worry parents, to be compensated if another food product from the same group, in this or the next meal.
It is no problem even if the child skips a meal - ask yourself toddlers to eat when hungry.
It is important to be patient
Toddlers require freedom of choice, which can lead to unusual eating habits - a child can one day eat lots of food, but very little the next. Sometimes will want to eat the same thing.
All these stages are temporary and as long as the child is healthy, we should not worry about them or to force him to "eat like other children." To be patient and wait for a while - bugs will have to go through.
However, never force your child to eat while occupied with the game. Do not rush to finish any meal or insist on eating the same amount of food as adults.
In fact, until the child is healthy and growing normally (which show the height and weight during the medical examination), you can be sure to eat enough.
One possible problem in this age that a child is drinking too much milk, so it is not enough hungry for other foods ... You would need to limit the intake of milk, which is best achieved by not giving him milk from a bottle than from a cup.
As regards the bottle, the child would be at this age should have to quit them and learn to use a glass or cup. Too long use of children's teeth deform the bottle.
If parents are forced feeding, the child usually responds even greater obstinacy, and the problem intensifies.
In any case, given the fact that your child consumes enough energy to pay attention to that offered food contains the elements necessary for the child's proper growth and development (meat, fish, chicken, eggs, dairy products, pasta, cereals, vegetables and fruits) .
Appropriate child smaller meals, but their needs are higher in energy so that in addition to the three main important to ensure and snacks (five to six meals a day). Children aged two years and can not eat food that has been banned in the previous year (orange, lemon, tangerine, berries, honey, egg whites ...).
The refusal of food and strange appetites are normal stages in the development of the child, however, when a child consistently refuses to eat for months not gaining weight behind the growth of their peers, seek medical advice.
