oh hon try not stressing about it to much......kids eat when their hungry and growth spurts make for skinny kids...mine got fat then look like string beans.

If its any concolation...Wilhelm is 7 an weighs 18kg

Oh a friend is studying nutrtion something or other and she said kids will never starve if they are feed iykwim, like unkless you have them locked away and are deliberatly not feeding them they will starve but if they are just fussy they will eat when hungry!

But get him the once over at the doctor to ease your mind xxx

mel he sounds just perfect!!
sophie is 2yrs 7mths and weighs 13kg and eats heaps!! not sure where she puts in
i think its the age for living on air

I think its more the fact that he lost a kilo in such a small amount of time - we are just guessing that its been a month since we last weighed him. He hasn't been sick or anything (not dramatically sick) and we haven't noticed that he wasn't eating as much until this last week when he has really really gone off food.

Mel, how are his nappies? Is he going normally? Is he drinking a lot more than usual?

I know DD1 sometimes eats virtually nothing some weeks and then will eat heaps another week. Her appetite really seems to fluctuate. FWIW, she is 3.5 and weighs 14kg

I was a skinny kid, I remember mum saying the doctor used to be on her back to get me eating more - unfortuntately I am making up for it now
Go to the doctor if you need reassurance, but I am sure it will all be fine.

Nai - its funny you should mention about his nappies - he had one on for 4 hours today and it was bone dry when I took it off - that has NEVER happened with Mr Pees-a-lot.

But his next nappy which he had on for 3 hours was really wet?

[Nai]

Hmm maybe get him checked out if he isn't going as much as usual - however he may just be getting some bladder control . Try and keep his fluids up too if he isn't eating a lot.
