Eating : When it comes to eating it can be a huge struggle for parents. Children are born yearning for more agency and freedom of choice. Eating can be a battle ground unless you honor their choosing ability. Offer which chair to sit in, which food to eat first, how much food to be served. Let them choose which silverware everyone has to use first. Make it a choosing game and stop worrying!!

Is he SICK or fussy?: Is he growing normally, running around and energetic like other children his age? If so, don't worry. If not consult a doctor.

Check his height and: weight, if within normal curve and following the curve over time, every 3 months for example, then don't worry much, they still at this age rather play than eat but they get what their bodies need, if it is otherwise check with his doctor, good luck
