A member asked:

My 6 year old barely eats. she is not stressed or sick. very happy (and spoiled). 42 lbs about 45 in tall?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

She is...: .... A normal height and weight. Children do not need to eat enough to make their parents happy (and little girls often don't), they need to eat enough to grow well. If your pediatrician has been following her growth as s/he should, s/he would have told you if there was a problem. I worry more about the quality of the food than the quantity. Eats veggies? Good! lots of fast food? Bad!
