Children with anorexia and malnutrition make parents worried

Diet for malnourished children

A scientific diet can improve mild malnutrition in children. In addition, parents should pay attention to increasing fat for children because it provides twice the energy of protein and starch. Parents should add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil or fat (5-10g) to each bowl of porridge or rice of children . In addition, parents can apply the following measures:

- Make sure each meal of your child has all 4 groups of nutrients: starch, protein, fat, vegetables and fruits. Do not just feed your child the broth but also the whole thing. Parents should note to prepare by chopping, cooking soft and adding little seasoning because children often like to eat bland food and suitable dishes for children are eggs, minced meat, minced fish, vegetables.

- Feed your child many meals (5-6 meals) instead of 3 main meals a day. Parents can give their children extra snacks and dinner before bed. Children only need to eat within their capacity, do not force them to eat to avoid vomiting, fear of eating and anorexia. To increase the energy of each meal, parents can cook thicker food instead of thin food.

- Take care and keep your baby clean because malnourished children are susceptible to infectious diseases due to weakened immune systems. Parents should have their children wash their hands before and after eating. Make sure children eat cooked food and drink boiled water. Before cooking, utensils must be washed clean. Feed children immediately after cooking and do not eat food that has been left out in the air for more than 3 hours, even if it has been reheated.
