My 22 month old son is not putting on weight, what or how do i get him to eat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Picky eaters: Picky eating habits will drive most parents crazy.At 22m their growth rate has slowed to ~5lb/3inch/yr which is much slower than earlier.Feeding matches need. Most feed well 4days a month & nibble the rest.Single item days are common(breads, vegies, etc) & a balanced week is more common than a balanced meal. If you only offer nutritious choices, they will get what they need.Discuss with your dr too.
