Please explain what is happening to a child whose appetite during a growth spurt is 2x his dads and will denying him more food hurt him in any way.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Growing: The child is growing and needs the fuel. Why deny him more food if he is using it well and growing? That is like not watering a plant that needs it. If you have concerns then discuss with a nutritionist and your doc. Many kids have huge appetites during growth spurts. Feed fresh foods and not junk- that helps a lot. Sounds normal at this time...
