Please help me my DS wont eat. He does go thru stages but this time he will only eat fruit salad, youghrt and his bottles of Soy milk. I cant remember the last time he didn't have a runny poo. sometimes when he is eating he will dry reach and sometimes throw up. He usually is a excellent eater will eat any vegtable or fruit. I am giving him a multi vit and have been told that this will also make him hungry Iam so worried he is looking so thin. does anyone have any suggestions on what to do or anyone going through this too. He has most of his teath just waiting for his 2 yr old molars to come through.

Tania2 the only advice I would give is speak to your gp or hv. I am sure they will be v. experienced with things like this. Good luck

I have a 2 year old that has a non-existent appetite. Before you get too worried, what is his weight like, is he maintaining his line or is he losing weight. As long as he is maintaining his line they really isnt any problem, the problem comes if they are losing weight or not putting any on. Also, I understand its quite normal for toddlers to have runny poo - toddler diarhoa (spel!), my 2 year old does have most days. Hope everything is OK.

My nephew is a skinny 2yr old and Hv put him on a some kid of tincture thats got iron in it. Suposedly this makes their appetite increase. He does eat better now. I cant for the life of me remeber what it is.

My 26 month DS is SO SO skinny bit the HV wasn't interested at all at his 2 yr check. He's full of energy and has a very slim father and maternal grandfather so I'm hoping he's just built that way. I thing the tonic mentioned earlier is Minadex (got mine from Tesco), although can't get him to have any even disguised in juice as he only likes water and milk!
