Its kind of reassuring to read in the other thread that being slight isn't always an issue, but sadly Im beginning to think my DS does have a problem. Im hoping someone will say 'Sounds fine. You're being too anxious to see clearly.' DS is nearly 3, 75th centile height and used to be between 25th and 50th weight. He has become increasingly fussy about what he will/won't eat in the last year or so and doesnt eat that much generally, but is energetic so I havent worried that much so far. He lost his appetite almost completely 2 weeks ago tho - was eating half an apple, some raisins, sometimes a piece of bread a day and nothing else. Hes lost weight and is now under 25th centile, but more to the point is grumpy, tired, listless, pale and has little energy. He has just started to eat a bit more the last couple of days but is still lethargic and pale. Doc says its a phase, and that its manipulative behaviour...HV seems to agree. Has anyone any thoughts on whether I should indeed just leave him to get on with it, and if so for how long, or if not, what do I do to get him eating again...?
