Eating problems

If you think your child has serious eating problems, consult your doctor or health care professional.

Poor appetite
Don’t worry. Babies have their own tastes and preferences. Don’t look at what your child eats in a particular day, but check it week by week. If it seems like something is wrong and you’re afraid your child is not getting the nutrition he needs, ask your doctor about it.

Rejects vegetables
Introduce vegetables first, then fruits. That way, your baby may not refuse vegetables in favor of sweeter fruits.

Dislikes new foods
Your child may need time to get used to the various textures, colors, and tastes of new food. And because young children crave consistency and familiarity, most of them won’t try new foods until you’ve served them a few times.

Doesn’t want to use spoon
This is normal as any foreign object is put in baby’s mouth. He will get used to it very quickly; just show him how it’s done! Always feed cereal or baby food from a spoon, never from a bottle.
