OOhh - I feel for you!!
I have one with unasked for (and useless) advice. My daughter (who is now 2 1/2) doesn't eat much - and is very small. It is more noticeable because my son (6 1/2) is a bruiser - he is off the top of the charts in height/weight while my daughter is off the bottom.
Well, at a doc visit back when she was about 1, my doc wanted us to limit her water intake. Not that drinking water is bad, but he felt if she was going to drink, he wanted it to be something with calories.
He also suggested higher calorie versions of what she would eat - she likes pudding? make sure to get full fat.
So, my mom's opinon on this? Well, she thinks he is dead wrong on the water - she feels that most of her liquid intake should be water - it is 'better' for her.
And the food? She thinks we are just grooming her to be fat!!! FAT!!! She will be 3 in January. She is about 25lbs, wearing 18 month pants. We have her on pediasure just to make sure she is getting nutrients!!!
Sigh. It still bothers me
