A member asked:

To add to my previos post! my 6 year old son has suddenly started eating alot and is always craving for something he can eat one after the other thing is gaining weight and has a belly now, he is otherwise normal, active doesnt drink or pee more. ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Needs work : I would want to find out why he is eating so much & so often. Are his chosen foods triggering new eating too soon (lots of carbs do that) ? Has something stressed him or effected him emotionally where he is craving to meet an emotional need? These are issues a clinical dietitian and or child psychologist may need to explore with him. Otherwise bad health & obesity are his future.
