| Why Children Can't Eat? |
Usually, the child will get additional feeding and milk intake at the age of 6-7 months. As we get older, the portion of food will be more than breast milk. Typically, children consume three types of food in one day, namely heavy foods, milk companion, and breast milk. In running these new habits, there are things that make children difficult to consume food. Here's why:
1. Your child is not really hungry
meals consisting of three main meals and two snacks make the child full. So when mealtime comes, he's not really hungry yet. Plus the habit / routine of eating and drinking milk that makes children become bored. Things like this will continue until the child reaches the age of 7 years. However, parents often forget and underestimate child behavior rejects food as a minor problem.
2. Bored with food with a smooth texture and mixed
Boredom can arise from texture. It is not impossible for children to get bored or start feeling nauseous with soft and jumbled food such as food during infancy. Thus parents must be clever in handling the preparation of food serving. Vary the taste so unique that children still like to eat, for example by separating the side dishes and blend the rice just before it is processed.3. Start have a desire to taste
This is also often belittled by parents, when the child's growing curiosity is getting bigger. He already has a special taste for food. That is the reason why children's food this age should not be equated with baby food. There is nothing wrong giving certain flavors that he loves to his food, such as salt, soy sauce and more. Here, the parent's job is to help find his taste.
4. The emergence of various rejection properties
The attitude of rejection of food characteristic of toddler age is very reasonable. However, due to concerns about the nutritional adequacy of children is not met, parents usually harder to force their children to eat. Yet this method should be avoided.
Just so you know, the more forced the child this age would be more insistent to resist as a form of self-protection. Realization especially if not a rejection of food. Can be understood if there are people who until adult tidk want to eat rice or did not touch the meat. It could be that when a child was concerned had experienced trauma due to the treatment of his parents who always give him a meal by force.
5. Start exploration everywhere
When a child walks with his legs and hands, he will put more emphasis on exploration than eat even when he is hungry. Just look at how the game is accompanied by movements running, crawling, or running that seemed never tired. For that if eating activities he made as a waste of time, especially when asked to sit still.6. Seek parental attention
Attention-seeking is usually indicated by the ease with which the child eats his food while being fed by a temporary caregiver. But, while being fed his parents instead sell expensive.

Not wanting to eat due to medical reasons is usually accompanied by a weak body, higher body temperature than usual, frequent fever, diarrhea, weight gain is not increased or even decreased, and changes in behavior.
If your child shows symptoms like that, check with your doctor immediately. Because if seen from the indications, it is likely difficult for children to eat is caused by sore throat, disturbed stomach, or even hit vlek, even tuberculosis.
8. too much given a sweet and savory snacks
Can also look limp but do not show symptoms of illness. If so, may be the result of inadequate intake of calories from solid foods. Children who are difficult to eat like that usually because they have the wrong eating habits. Like, often crammed with milk, candy, chocolate, or snacks containing MSG. While filling, these foods clearly can not meet the nutritional adequacy of children. Because you feel full, do not blame if he tends to refuse solid food.
In conclusion, the problem of children starting to reject the food given due to growth factors, the tastes of the child, or because of a disease that is suffered
