Hello
Dr. Ervis answering your question.
I don't find this medicine in the guidelines of recommendation.
Your child needs some encouragement and structure from you when it comes to mealtimes (such as regular meals and healthy choices), but not much more. Your child may eat well one day and eat practically nothing the next.
Rather than get hung up on the fact that your child has refused everything you put in front of her today, consider what she's eaten over the course of one week. Parents are often surprised to find that their child's food intake balances out. Something must be fueling all that energy!
Don't forget to consider how much she drinks in the food equation, too. Milk and 100 percent juice can supply vital nutrients (though too much juice means too much sugar). But because drinking too much milk or juice can also dampen an appetite, you may want to serve drinks after and between meals, not right before. And don't let her fill up on sweets and junk food – her growing body needs the nutrients supplied by a healthy diet, not empty calories.
Here are a few tips to help get through those bumpy patches:
Offer a variety of healthy food choices and let your toddler feed herself. This way she gets to exercise a little independence.
Don't threaten her or bargain with her. "One more bite and you get a cookie," or, "No story time if you don't eat your peas," makes mealtime into a power struggle. If you want to raise a healthy eater, keep mealtimes positive, and don't use sweets as a reward.
Have meals as a family whenever possible. When your toddler sees you or her siblings eating healthy food, she's more likely to want to follow along.
Don't take something off the menu if she doesn't like it. Kids are slow to accept new tastes and textures, so if she spits out green beans the first time, try making them again the following week. She may surprise you and decide they're her new favorite food. And be patient: You may have to offer a new food many times before she's willing to make it a regular part of her diet.
