Discusses essential nutrients often lacking due to feeding difficulties and their role in healthy growth.

What to do if your child isn’t getting the right nutrition?

As a mother, these questions are certainly on your mind –

“Is my child eating right?” 
“Is my child eating enough?” 
“How do I make sure that my child gets the required nutrition?” 
“How do I make sure that my child is growing right?”

Making sure that your child is getting all the needed nutrition and growing healthy, starts with finding the right balance of eating enough and eating right.

If you’re dealing with a picky eater, there’s nothing to worry about. It’s more common than you think. For many children, mealtime is a chore, and just like a chore, they try to get through it as quickly as possible. Often at the cost of not finishing their meals. This is what we call lack of adequate intake. The results of which are often a weaker immunity system and stunted growth as compared to other kids. The impact of the latter can go beyond physical growth difficulties. It can lead to lethargy and hamper your child’s confidence and willingness to give their best at school, and other aspects of life.

Picky eaters who do eat enough, tend to be extremely selective about what they eat. So, if your child is one too, you probably have to exclude fruits, vegetables, dairy or poultry products from the meals you prepare. Other than making meal preps hard for you, this also prevents your child from getting all the nutrients he or she needs for healthy growth and overall cognitive development. You might not see the impact immediately, but they become more apparent as the child gets older.

Finding ways to make meals more interesting is just as tedious as getting your kids to eat right. The easier way out is adding a nutrition supplement to his or her diet, like PediaSure® 3+.
