Can anyone offer any advice or help please, I am worrying now!
Thomas is 16 months and used to eat ok, but has never ever been fussed about food. He has never got upset if he sees me eating or wanted it and when I put him in his high chair at meal times and put food in front of him, even his favorites, he just looks at it for a while and picks very slowly at it as if he is not fussed if it is there or not!
He has been gaining weight but from the age of 8 or 9 months it is going on only very slowly!
Health visitor and docs say as long as the weight is not dropping and he is healthy and active, which he is, not to worry!
Now though, he barely eats half of his breakfast, not interested in mid morning snacks, only eats a few bits for lunch ie a quarter if that, of toast or whatever he has. Barely touches any fruit and snacks I give him during the afternoons, and doesnt even eat half of his dinners.
I have tried everything possible he could eat, he likes fish and potatoes but barely touches anything!!!! I leave plates of fruit everywhere when we are home and plates of anything for him to pick up and eat when he is hungry, because he must get hungry but he doesnt touch them.
Im so frustrated and worried sick.

She went through periods of growing very slow too and then would have spurts... she eats like crazy now and still hasn't reached 40 lbs at 5 years old! She's skinny but getting taller and her Dr says she's very healthy weight wise and I shouldn't worry either.
