Talk to his doctor: Talk to your doctor and get his growth pattern from birth. Many children his age graze rather than "eating" so it seems like they eat nothing. Their weight gain slows down normally. See if his weight is matched to his height and also if he is growing to match parental height. Your doctor can give you a growth chart to follow how he is doing and see if there is any thing to worry about.
