weight loss in ds6

[Sunshine78]

My ds is on the 50 centile for his weight but only weighs 2stone 10 (lost 2lb in last few months) he is generally healthy and eats really well-has been known to eat more than me. He is very active. Should I be worried or not?

If he's very active then the chances are he's burning it off. You should take him to the GP to get him checked though, there are alot of health conditions that can cause weight loss so you should see your GP to rule these out. Does he drink alot?

That is his 1 problem he has 1 good drink a day and that is it - he has access to drink all day but just doen't want it - his dad is the same doesn't drink much

Wow, that's really not enough. His kidneys need far more then this if they are to work efficiently. He must be dehydrated. Tell his dad that he's not setting a good example and dehydration over time results in kidney stones, they are really painful to get rid of as he'll have to wee it out.

Have you changed your little one's diet? Low fat?
