Child`s Appetite and Eating Habit

Healthy eating means eating a various foods (such as protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, and minerals) so that our child or children get the nutrients for its normal growth. If our child or children regularly eats a wide variety of basic foods, he or she will be well-nourished.

From birth until about 2 or 3 years old, child or children have an “internal hunger gauge” that signals how much food they need at a given time. Babies cry to let us know they’re hungry. When they’re full, they stop eating. Child or children continue this pattern as they grow—they eat as much or as little as their bodies need. But after the age of 2 or 3, this internal hunger gauge is also affected by other things. It is important to get our child or children to pay attention to the natural signs of hunger from his or her body.

It’s our concern to see our child or children eat very little at a meal. Child or children tend to eat the same number of calories every day if they are allowed to eat in response to their internal hunger gauge. One day a child or children may eat a big breakfast, a big lunch, and hardly any dinner. The next day this same child or children may eat very little at breakfast but may eat a lot at lunch and dinner.
