小儿厌食症为儿科临床常见病，以学龄前儿童多见。

Infantile anorexia is a common clinical disease in children, especially in preschool children.

“肚子饿了，便想吃饭”这是每个人与生俱来的本能，如果孩子的肚子真的很饿了，就不会有不肯吃饭的问题。

"Hungry and want to eat" is the inherent instinct of everyone. If a child's stomach is really hungry, there will be no problem of eating.

厌食病属于中医所说的脾胃病（也就是消化系统病）。

Anorexia is a traditional Chinese medicine called spleen and stomach disease (digestive system disease).

是指宝宝几个月，甚至更长时间不爱吃饭。一到吃饭时父母发愁，想方设法追着喂、逗着喂、骗着喂也吃不了几口饭。在幼儿园虽然比在家好一些，但也是总剩饭。

It means that babies can't eat for months or even longer. When it comes to eating, parents worry, trying to catch up, feeding, chewing and feeding. In kindergarten, though it is better than home, it is also a total leftover.

但有些情况不属于厌食病。比方说孩子感冒发烧以后或是一时贪吃停食不化的食欲不振，用一些助消化药如妈咪爱、酵母片就能好。

But some cases do not belong to anorexia. For example, when a child has a cold or fever, he can eat or lose his appetite and use some digestive aids such as mommy and yeast.

还有些孩子贫血、佝偻病、肝炎……这些慢性病也可以造成长时间厌食，这时应该检查清楚，把慢性病治疗好了以后，食欲才可以得到改善。

There are also children with anemia, rickets, hepatitis and so on. These chronic diseases can also create anorexia in growth period. At this time, we should check clearly that after the treatment of chronic diseases, appetite can be improved.

中医理论认为小儿脏腑娇嫩，各系统功能发育不够完善，尤其"脾常不足"，消化功能还很薄弱。造成宝宝厌食的原因有很多，最主要还是因为父母缺少正确的育儿知识，喂养不当形成的。

According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, children's viscera is tender, and the functional development of each system is not perfect. Especially, the spleen is often insufficient, and the digestive function is very weak. There are many reasons for the baby's anorexia. The main reason is that their parents lack proper parental knowledge and improper feeding.

有些家长（尤其老人）经常用零食哄孩子，宝宝一哭给块糖、宝宝一闹给块饼干，时间长了孩子就不能按时按顿的吃饭了。

Some parents (especially old people) often use snacks to coax children, baby cry to candy, baby a piece of biscuit, the baby can not eat on time on time.

现在家庭条件好了，父母怕宝宝缺营养、希望宝宝长得快，从小就是鱼、肉、蛋为主要饮食，甚至给孩子吃补药。这些都可以造成孩子偏食、厌食，营养不均衡。

Now that family conditions are good, parents are afraid that babies are short of nutrition and hope that babies grow fast. From childhood, fish, meat and eggs are the main food and even children's tonic. All these can cause children to have partial food, anorexia and malnutrition.
