4hw.com.cn: what should I do if my child doesn't eat milk all of a sudden? Many mothers don't know how to deal with baby's anorexia. In fact, it's normal for a child to be anorexic. How many months does a child go to anorexia?
Months to weaning
As a result of the disease and appear anorexia baby, mostly transient symptoms, as long as the disease is cured, anorexia will improve. However, if the baby is a psychoanorexic, Dr. Tang Guoting suggested that the father should pay more attention to the baby's several stages of anorexia!
Baby's first anorexia
Time: about 4 months old.
Reason: for babies over 4 months old, their necks are mostly strong, they can stand and rotate, and they can see far away. At this time, "eating" is no longer the most attractive new thing for curious babies. Instead, it is the new things around. Therefore, during this period of time, babies tend to have problems of inattention.
The degree and time of baby's anorexia are different. Some babies will occur as early as 3 months, and some babies will be later, even without this problem. However, when the normal baby is 6 months old, it is normal for the milk quantity to be slightly reduced due to the addition of non-staple food.
Baby's second anorexia
Time: about 1 year old.
Reason: Dr. Tang Guoting pointed out that for some full-year-old babies, there will be a second wave of anorexia after the stage of non-staple food. He explained that this period of baby is not anorexia, but more rejection of solid food. The reason may be related to the late addition of non-staple food and improper feeding of non-staple food.
For example, if mummy directly adds the rice and wheat essence food that should be fed by bowl and spoon to the baby's milk bottle to suck, this will affect the baby's swallowing and chewing ability, resulting in poor acceptance of solid food, and only likes the milk that is easy to suck and drink. And the invariable dish color, also can let the baby easily be fed up with and appear to refuse to eat.
The calculation of milk quantity can help you know that raising a "full fleshed" white fat baby is the source of all novice parents' sense of achievement. When evaluating whether the problem of baby's anorexia seriously endangers the growth, the Father knows better than the mother, and the baby's daily milk quantity is correct.
Dr. Tang Guoting pointed out that the measurement of milk quantity is mainly based on the baby's weight (per kilogram) and daily meals. Before the age of 4-6 months, the baby has not formally entered the stage of non-staple food. The daily milk demand is 150-180 ㏄ body weight (per kilogram), and the maximum is not recommended to exceed 1000 ㏄ while the daily total milk consumption of the baby from 6 months to 1 year old is appropriate to fall in 500-700 ㏄.
However, the doctor also stressed that the most important thing is to closely observe the growth curve of the baby. As long as the growth curve is normal, it means that the nutrition intake is sufficient. Overfeeding is not only easy to change the baby into a "big eater", but also can greatly increase the incidence of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease in the future.
