“Yesterday, Adrian took 3 slices of pizza with a glass of fresh milk for lunch, he took a large serving of tuna sandwich for dinner, followed by half an apple. However, today, he had sudden loss of appetite and took only 2 plain crackers and keep telling me he is full. He didn’t eat much for dinner too. He is 4.5 years old and I think he has an erratic appetite. This is not the first time, it happened before too. Could he be having some pathology in his guts?” Ben, 36 years old
Dr. Stork says: Your child may sometimes have a tremendous appetite but, at other times, he may not want to eat very much at all. Such variations in appetite are normal; they occur in children just as in adults. Nevertheless, it helps to check if your child likes the way certain foods are served or whether he is ill.
