Ways to help children overcome malnutrition.

Malnutrition affects a child's physical and mental development. Malnourished children require special nutrition and care.

Parents are worried when their children are picky eaters or malnourished.

Dietary regimen for malnourished children

A scientifically sound diet can improve mild malnutrition in children. In addition, parents should note that fats and oils provide twice the energy of protein and carbohydrates. Parents should add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil or fat (5-10g) to each bowl of porridge or rice for their child . In addition, parents can apply the following measures:

- Ensure each meal for your child includes all four food groups: carbohydrates, protein, fats, and fruits/vegetables. Don't just give your child broth; they should eat the solids as well. Parents should note that food should be finely chopped, cooked until tender, and lightly seasoned, as children generally prefer bland food. Suitable dishes for children include eggs, minced meat, minced fish, and vegetables.

- Feed your child multiple small meals (5-6 meals) instead of 3 main meals a day. Parents can give their children extra snacks and a dinner before bedtime. Children should only eat as much as they can handle; do not force them to eat to avoid vomiting, fear of eating, and picky eating. To increase the energy content of each meal, parents can cook food in a thicker consistency instead of a watery one.

- Take good care of your child and maintain good hygiene, as malnourished children are more susceptible to infectious diseases due to their weakened immune systems. Parents should have their children wash their hands before and after meals. Ensure children eat cooked food and drink boiled water. Before cooking, all utensils should be thoroughly washed. Feed your child immediately after cooking and avoid giving them food that has been left out in the open for more than 3 hours, even if reheated.
