"Mom, I don't like to eat green vegetables."
"Mom, rice is not delicious at all."
"Mom, I don't want to eat" … ...
Don't your children like it?
Not long? Still sick?
I translate.
Children's long-term loss of appetite and aversion to eating belong to the category of "anorexia" in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that anorexia in children is mostly caused by improper feeding, spleen injury caused by other diseases, congenital deficiency, emotional imbalance, etc., and its disease location is in the spleen and stomach.
Infant health care
There is a saying in the 12th New Book for Children: Skinny Bone: "Children are skinny and skinless, but the spleen and stomach are not harmonious, so they can't eat ..." The spleen and stomach are the foundation of the day after tomorrow, and the source of qi and blood biochemistry, while children are delicate in viscera and often lack of spleen, so they don't know how to eat milk. If parents lack feeding knowledge, don't add complementary food on time or overeat nourishing products that emphasize nutrition unilaterally,
