Hi, it's so frustrating having a toddler who hates eating. I fear his bad eating habits are rubbing off on his 11 month old brother who is also now refusing to eat. *sigh* Ds1 - who is now 27 months old - weighs in at 25.5lbs. joejay: My son is 35in. I am 5'5" and my husband is 5'8" so we are average. We never expected our kids to be big either but it is concerning when they grown so slowly. I believe my ds1 is in the 7th percentile for weight and about the 40th for height. My doc didn't want him dropping below the 5th so we are keeping an eye on his weight gain. He also goes in to see my family doc every 6 months to do a full physical. They are keeping a new 2nd year growth chart to make sure he is at least maintaining a curve. It seems like my ds1 goes in cycles where for a few days he will eat really well, and then eat horribly for the next few days. Right now is a horrible phase...he eats minimal. At our last visit my doc suggested I put him on a multivitamin, so we bought Enfamil "Poly-Vi-Sol" which I add to his last cup of milk every day. At least I get that peace of mind...hopefully these toddlers outgrow this!
