What to eat when children have pneumonia

Many children will be picky eaters and have anorexia in their early childhood. If the problem is not improved after a delay, it will easily lead to poor development of the children. So how can parents help their children improve? Here are several methods to improve children's anorexia for your reference.

Parents are good role models for their children

If parents are picky eaters or partial eaters, their children will also be affected and most likely become anorexic. Therefore, parents must set an example by not being picky or partial eaters, and have a positive influence on their children.

Proper feeding

Develop good eating habits. It is best to exclusively breastfeed infants under 4 months old. Because relevant studies have shown that exclusively breastfed children rarely lose their appetite. Add complementary foods in a reasonable order and do not rush. Children's diet should focus on staple and non-staple foods, and do not add extra "nutritious foods" at random. Do not use tonics and supplements to make up for the child's nutritional deficiencies, but patiently explain the taste and nutritional value of various foods.

Develop good eating and hygiene habits

Eat regularly and at regular times. Do not eat snacks (including drinks) before meals, because high blood sugar affects appetite. Eat fruit after meals. Parents should pay attention to changing the types of food frequently, try not to be stereotyped, and combine meat and vegetables. Animal foods contain more zinc, and a certain proportion must be maintained in the diet.

Keep a relaxed and happy mood when eating

Create a good dining atmosphere. Let the child eat in a happy mood. Even if the child does not eat well for a few times, do not be anxious, do not threaten or intimidate the child to eat, and do not beg the child to eat. If the child does not eat a meal, do not worry, and do not use snacks to supplement. The child will eat naturally when hungry at the next meal. When the child does not want to eat a certain food, adults should consciously and step by step guide them to taste this food, neither unprincipled concession nor too forced.
