The child eats poorly - Some tips for parents

No one’s appetite stays the same from day to day and year to year. A child eats when he is hungry. However, almost all parents and caregivers experience that the child refuses to eat or eats poorly. Changes in appetite are due to situational factors on the one hand and developmental factors on the other.
A child’s appetite decreases decisively in the second year of life. In the first year of life, the baby is a real glutton, and his birth weight triples by the end of the first year of age. After this, the little one's weight gain slows down and his appetite decreases.
