Picky eater: Your child is not eating because he isnt growing at the rate he was as an infant, therefore he becomes choosy in what he eats. Dont fill him up with milk or juice. They just bloat his belly. Let him graze when eating and have him help you prepare meals his cough and sneezing are due to post nasal drip. Treat with saline nose drops.
