„Copilul meu nu mănâncă nimic!” Medic: „Apetitul unui copil nu este constant și nici nu trebuie să fie”

Children's appetite varies significantly, and it's normal for them to eat less at times. Pediatrician Dr. Oana Ciuhureanu-Merchea emphasizes that fluctuations in appetite are common and linked to growth phases. Parents often worry when their child eats little, but this doesn't necessarily indicate poor nutrition. It's crucial to monitor overall growth rather than daily food intake. After the first year, many children naturally reduce their food consumption, which can concern parents. Understanding these patterns can help alleviate worries about a child's eating habits.
