5.What’s Up With Picky Eaters?
While picky eating may linger for weeks, even months, it rarely lasts. Your baby can become a picky eater for lots of reasons, says Ward. When babies aren’t feeling their best — like when teething — familiar foods provide comfort. Or maybe your baby just isn’t ready to try a new food. Make sure you don’t give the baby junk food just because that’s all they want. Offer healthy foods, and a hungry baby will eventually eat them.
6.Food Allergies and Intolerances
Up to 8% of children have food allergies. Symptoms such as rash, diarrhea, vomiting, or stomach pain can show up suddenly. Though kids can be allergic to any food, milk, nuts, eggs, soy, wheat, and shellfish are the most problem foods. Food intolerances are more common than allergies and may cause gas, bloating, and belly pain. If you suspect a food allergy, work with your child’s doctor to find safe foods.
