Some children eat less meat when they have a bad appetite, and some children eat too much but don't gain weight, which can worry the old mothers.

In order to let children eat more, mother not only prepared a lot of rich ingredients, but also learned from various "food bloggers" and made various complementary food "shapes". For example, today is a "flower" steamed stuffed bun, and tomorrow is a "car" meal.

It can be seen that mothers attach great importance to the growth and development of their children.

In fact, after three months, children's weight gain will slow down, especially after one year old. Three meals are mainly food, supplemented by milk, and sometimes it is normal not to grow a catty a month. This is because he also grew at the same time, so his height "took away" some nutrients from his body.

But it is worth noting that there is a kind of "no meat" called "Your mother thinks you are not fat enough", which parents must avoid.

If parents are not sure whether the child's weight and height are up to standard, they can take him for testing or compare with the national standard value.

As long as the value is within the standard range and the growth curve rises steadily, it means that he is healthy. Therefore, parents don't have to worry too much about their children's obvious "obesity".

Some children are really too thin. What should parents do to catch up?

1. If the child has indigestion, parents should pay attention to whether there is indigestible food in the added complementary food. Especially in the early stage of adding complementary food, because children's gastrointestinal adaptability is weak and their ability to digest food is limited, parents must add complementary food step by step, from mushy to granular and then to massive, and cannot rush.

2. For some children who drink night milk and affect their sleep, parents can consider cutting off night milk. Because if the child is full before going to bed, it will not only force the stomach to work overtime, but also inhibit the secretion of growth hormone at night, which will become a stumbling block for the child not to grow meat.

For children who are always ill, parents can learn some knowledge of Chinese medicine. Because the child's illness is different every time, it is normal to "lose meat" during illness.

4. The child may have a thick tongue coating and a bad appetite because of frequent food accumulation, indicating that his spleen function is weak. Parents can help their children solve food accumulation and increase their appetite through complementary food.

Some parents don't know that their children will have diarrhea because they are allergic to certain foods, such as eggs and milk, especially milk.

Many people have lactose intolerance, because they often have diarrhea after drinking milk containing lactose. Therefore, parents can choose some milk substitutes, such as yogurt and soybean milk, to supplement the nutrition their children need.

Only by finding out the reasons why children are too thin can parents better "prescribe the right medicine" instead of eating some nutritious food in order to make their children gain weight.

Parents should have a reasonable diet and adequate nutrition, so that their children can eat more fruits when changing seasons, making him healthier and healthier.
