Reha, if his skin is glowing, his energy level is high for a kid of his age, and his general health is good, then he is not malnourished. But also discuss with his pediatrician to make sure.

His general health is good. We have a checkup tomorrow and I will be discussing this again with his pediatrician. He is very active and my worry is…is he getting enough calories to keep up with this craziness?

I’d love to but he has a temper and I don’t want to teach him that hitting is a way to get your point across.

I used to be very relaxed about food and my daughter was and is a complete dudu (milk) monster. A routine blood test found her to be severely anemic and the main reason was lack of proper diet. At 16 months he doesn’t need that much milk. Try to cut it right down. Milk suppresses their appetite and drinking over 20 ounces at this age is a risk factor for iron deficiency.

With my daughter it is really hard and she went days without eating when I cut out her milk but slowly she is building an appetite.

I think I am going to try to cut it down now…he is filling up on milk and just isn’t hungry enough for any food.
