T.S.
Hi my name is Tracey, I was a stay at home and I had the same problem with my youngest son Of 10 now, then only 2 years old. When he was little he would do same thing and I couldn't understand why. Well to make a long story short. I took him to the doctors and asked these questions: 1)How can I get him to eat?, 2)Is this normal?, 3) Is he in the range of other kids? The doctor told he is fine and as long as he drinks lots of fluids he will be ok. If he wants to eat just one thing then let him as long as he eats. My son Austin would only eat cereal breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The doctor asked is he eating i said yes ,but only cereal and he said that was just fine. We went on like this for a long time I think around 6 he started to eat more thing and he would only a 1/2 of a serving spoon full of everything. Now he is 10 and I still have to get on him to eat. He is eating everything I give him , but only in small amounts. Just hang in there it will get better. When he is home after school and on weekends he sometimes eats around 7 or 10 times a day ,but in small portions. The doctors all have told me that he is in the right height and weight of other kids his age and not to worry as long as he was drinking fluids and eating even small amounts is ok. Please feel free to e-mail me at ____@____.com if I can help out. Tracey
