Any advice? Dd is always pretty skinny with a small appetite and a bit of a fussy eater, but she's had flu, followed by a chest infection and is now run down and worryingly skinny. I don't normally trust much in BMI but I checked hers and the NHS calculator put her on the 0 percentile.
The NHS website isn't that helpful on how to get underweight kids to put on weight. Any good tips which don't involve attempting to stuff her with really unhealthy stuff? Is it best to have lots of snacks, on the basis that she can't seem to manage to eat much in one sitting?
I'm not normally stressy about the dc's eating habits, but I'm actually a bit worried about her.
