Feeding baby to infants are injected from six months of age, when its digestive and enzyme systems are ready. But many mothers are faced with such a problem that the child refuses to feed. And all their efforts are wasted for nothing - the karapuz stubbornly spits out food or closes his mouth. And so for many, the question of how to get a child to eat a snack is relevant.
Why does not the child eat the lure?
There are many reasons that affect the lack of desire to eat the lure of the baby. It can be:
- The kid just did not eat the new food. Mom's milk or a mixture for it is more pleasant and "dear".
- Because of the excessive desire to feed the mother could scare or force the crumb to eat new food. Thus, the child does not want to eat lure, because food has become for him a source of unpleasant emotions.
- The first spoonful of complementary foods could be tasteless (for example, bitter), and therefore all the food for the baby is associated with the first unsuccessful experience.
- Often a child refuses to eat when his teeth are pricked or sick, and also in hot weather.
- Mom, wishing to follow the recommendations of pediatricians, did not pay attention to the unwillingness of the baby to lure.
What should I do if my child refuses to feed?
When these situations occur, first of all, the mother should not force the baby. It is necessary to make sure that the baby is ready for such changes in nutrition. The willingness of the baby is indicated by the interest in adult food.
During feeding, the mother can attract the child's attention to food by bringing a spoonful of porridge or mashed potatoes to the muzzle of a bear cub or doll. You can feed an adult with baby food.
In addition, if a child does not eat well, the mother should pay attention to the fact that at the time of feeding the baby is hungry, but not excessively. Otherwise, the baby will eagerly await the desire to kiss my mother's breast. By the way, walks help the appearance of appetite.
It often happens that a child does not eat vegetable lure. In this case, it is usually recommended to mix vegetables with food that he likes.
If desired, the mother can cheat: she sits down at the table, puts the baby on her lap, and eats the lure from the plate. Usually the child watches with interest the reception of food for adults and climbs into the plate.
When a youngster eats something, you must express enthusiasm, smile and praise it. Do not be superfluous will the phrase "How Masha is delicious!", "Oh, what a Dima umnichka!".
If the child has stopped eating lure, do not insist. Set aside mashed potatoes and porridge for a week or two, and then give it a try again. After all, in such a business as lure, you should act neatly and slowly.
