[|Human|] Yes. My 2 year old son has never been a good eater from ime we started baby food until now it has been an ongg daily struggle to get nutrition in him. He has always been in a low percentile for his weight and had monthly weight checks with his pediatrician, who seems to be unable to help us figure out why our son will not eat. He refuses to eat for hours on end has no interest in food at all never acts the least bit hungry as if he has no appetite. We have tried every trick in the book. We have asked for and received no help from his pediatrician and he sees a occupational therapist weekly who too has tried every trick in the book to try and get him to eat. We are completely at a loss of what to do and thought at this point we would see what a gastro dr may have to say. So what do you think may be going on and do you have any ideas of what we can do to help increase appetite?
[|AI|]  Hi. I completely understand your concern. But I would like to first reassure you that it's a very common problem in Pediatrics and very rarely do we find a physiological or anatomical cause for poor appetite or weight gain. Though I don't know your sons present weight I would like to give you certain clues to judge if his lack of weight gain is worrisome or not. 1. Any issues during your pregnancy or delivery? 2.was was his birth weight and how was his initial one month of life?3. Did you breastfeed him, and how long you did exclusive breastfeeding? 4. Wat diet do you give him usually? 5. Does his weight fall between 10 and 12 kg at present?  Or Has his birth weight increased by approximately 3 times plus a kilo for now? 6. WATS the usual weight and height stature of you and your spouse? 7. Does his height approximately falls between 75 and 90 cm?8. Are all the milestones in him age appropriate? 9. Has he been hospitalized ever for any major issues? Just check out the above and get back to us. You will get a rough picture of your sons' health status. I would be pleased to clarify any further doubts.  Chat Doctor. S. Sri Vichy Chennai
