The kid does not eat well, is capricious, and the time spent at the table can sometimes be counted for hours ... What should I do? Let's first determine whether we understand correctly that he really eats a little. Little is this, in your opinion, how much?.
There are certain norms of the daily diet (of course, they are indicative, because each baby develops in its own way and even spends every day a different amount of energy) for children of different ages and weights.
Make an approximate menu of your baby and calculate his caloric value.
The required number of calories for children:.
6 months - 1 year - 800 kcal,.
1 year - 3 years - 1300-1500 kcal,.
3 years - 6 years - 1800-2000 kcal,.
6 years - 10 years - 2000-2400 kcal,.
10 years - 13 years - 2900 kcal.
It often happens that the calorie counted by the parents "maloyezhki" exceeds the daily rate. For example, children's curd cheese contains 319 kcal, one hundred gram of oatmeal porridge - 375 kcal, and in one hundred grams of banana - 95 kcal.
During illness and fatigue The decrease in appetite can be caused by various diseases. For example, even with banal ARI there may be a strong reluctance to eat. Cutting teeth, abdominal pain, fatigue, overexcitation ... - all this does not allow eating with pleasure.
Talk with the child, find out what's bothering him, sympathize, teach him how to cope with his emotions, because he himself can learn this very long, sometimes all his life!.
Well, and if everything is all right? There are no diseases and special stresses, but the child is still obstinate and does not eat well?.
Any living organism is endowed with different instincts to maintain its viability.
One of the main ones is the emergence of a feeling of hunger and thirst.
They can not fail to arise, these are the so-called "basic needs", that is, what is necessary for survival. And if the child refuses to eat, the most likely thing is not that he has something wrong with the instinct of survival, but that there are some reasons outside.
