September 15, 2006, Newsletter Issue #176: Loss in Appetite
Tip of the Week
If your older infant suddenly experiences a loss of appetite, more than likely, she is simply experiencing a growth slow down, and does not need to eat any more than she is. Babies have built in appetite controls, and do a far better job at regulating their diet than most adults do. To ensure that she is getting adequate nutrition when she does eat, be sure to offer a variety of foods, and try to sneak in fruits and vegetables without her realizing. She may enjoy pumpkin muffins, carrot cake, sweet potatoes, a noodle casserole, or yogurt. You may also want to check for teething, as this would also explain a lack of appetite. If her appetite doesn´t return after a few days, consult your doctor.
