A. thanks for your reply ma'am. He eats nuts but doesn't like it in milk. I am giving him pediasure 7+ twice a day. hope that's okay rest of the things mentioned by you are already being followed but still there is no change. could it be some other medical issue which needs investigations etc.. please help im extremely concerned. spoken to the doc and he says that's how my child is structured and should grow at the age of 13 when boys hit puberty. should I really wait for that long or see some other doctor.
