HOWTO TURN KID'S MEAL
TIME INTO A PLEASANT
OCCASION
Improper eating habits of
kids may well affect their nutri-
tion and digestion - Ding Ding
has completely lost interest in
eating, possibly due to: (1) Food
being served is not easily digest-
ible by the young kid, e.g., for
those less than 3 months old,
change gradually from fluid to
semi-fluid food, e.g., rice water,
puree to thick congee, etc.; for
those up to 2 years old, soft rice,
bread may be tried along with
other supplementary food - all
these should be well cooked,
chopped into fine pieces or in
porridge form as required; for
those aged 2-3 years, food may
be less shredded; nevertheless,
whole pieces of vegetables,
beans and peanuts are too risky;
(2) As kids may well like newly
introduced food, do it gradually
to avoid over-eating; (3) After 4
months, a mixed diet is gradu-
ally introduced, with, e.g., fish,
meat, eggs, vegetables, fruits,
etc. - more nutritious and less
monotonous. Fixed meal times
to make eating a "conditioned
reflex" action; cut down on be-
tween-meal nibbles; concentrate
on the meal - avoid watching TV
or videos while eating; even
minimal involvement of kids on
food preparation helps; no scold-
ing at meals - make meal times
enjoyable!
寶寶吃飯不是一件小事，若不重視，就可能造成孩子厭
食、消化不良等諸多問題。問題一旦產生，該如何對症下藥
呢？本文告訴你。
“吃飯的時間到了！”
當媽媽興高采烈地把一盆盆菜端到桌上時，兒子丁丁卻托著
下巴，對飯菜毫無興趣，任憑媽媽怎樣好說歹說，丁丁就是不想
吃，不肯吃，勉強吃一口，還要吐出來。
也許你的孩子也有類似的吃飯經歷，或許你也試了很多方法
卻不見大的成效。不用擔心，讓專家一起來幫你的孩子找找問題
的根源，並解決它。
消化不良的3 大誘因
原因1：給的食物不太易消化
由于嬰幼兒的消化能力差，父母要針對孩子的年齡特點，給
孩子吃能消化吸收、願意接受的食品。一方面，父母要根據孩子
不同的年齡特點，飲食逐漸由流質向半流質(如米湯、糊狀食品、
稀飯)以及固體食物(如軟飯、面包等)轉變。3個月內的嬰幼兒，其
消化液與成人不同，對澱粉的消化比較差，需要特別注意。而對
于2歲以下的嬰幼兒，所添加的副食品，一定要爛、細、軟，比
如，可將青菜切碎，弄爛，做成菜泥。而對于2-3歲的嬰幼兒，因
為已經有16-20顆乳牙，食品可以稍微粗一點。同時，像整顆的瓜
子、豆子、花生米、果凍這些食品對于嬰幼兒都十分危險，可能
會被吞到氣管裡，所以必須小心，要磨成粉，弄碎了才能吃。
原因2：給太多新的食物
比如：有的孩子第一次吃蝦，覺得味道很好，就一下子吃許
多，結果造成消化不良。因此父母在讓嬰幼兒嘗試吃一種新的食
物時，要讓他慢慢適應。一次量不能給太多，要逐漸地增加，讓
孩子有個適應的過程。
