Everyone keeps saying he's too slim

So a few people have said my 2.5yr old is too slim Angry although I don't feel he is, he's tall for his age & very very active. He is a meal skipper at times or will only pick & eat some foods. He's abit of a fussy eater but then at times I'm shocked at how much he's eaten.

Should I be worried?

Hard to say without his height and weight OP.

If his height and weight is considered fine by the health visitor then no you shouldn’t be worried and then you can tell people that say your kids to thin to bugger off

If he’s fussy just give him foods he will eat..

Should I be worried for your own peace of mind I’d take him to the baby weigh clinic this week, assuming you can get to one. Ask them to weigh and measure him and plot the measurements into his read book, if you have one.

That way you can see which centiles he is on and if he’s tracking them Smile
