Underweight Child: You are a very Caring Mother! Feel Good that your son has good appetite, and is active. Inadequate nutrient intake, emotional stress, eating fast, excessive exercise, or food allergies may cause your son being underweight. Please take him to see his Pediatrician for possible diagnosis of chronic illnesses affecting the absorption, metabolism or loss of nutrients.
