WWYD? Ethan's not eating much and is sleeping a lot.

He had a stomach virus a couple weekends ago and puked for several hours. ?I'm pretty sure he lost a bit of weight during that. ?Since then he's had a cold and just doesn't have much of an appetite. ?

He gave up napping back in the fall, but in the past couple of weeks, he's been napping almost daily and then refusing to eat more than a bite or two for dinner at night in order to go to bed. ??

He says his tummy hurts sometimes, and I'm sure it has to be hunger, but I don't know how to explain it to him (I tell him that eating will make it feel better, but he won't do it). ?

I tried to keep a bit of a tab on his calorie intake today and he probably had somewhere between 400-600 calories (thanks in part to 240 calories from a Pediasure). ?

Would you call the pediatrician? I don't know what he could do for me, but I'm starting to feel a bit helpless and nervous about E's overall health. ?He can't weight more than 21-22lbs right now. ?

Call the pedi since you are concerned.  I don't think a pedi call is unwarranted all things considered.

I would. Poor little guy-I hope he feels better and starts to eat more soon. And by the way-I think that is hands down the cutest siggy picture ever.

LOVE your new sig!

I would call if I were you.  I'm not sure what they could do, but maybe there's an explanation they can find.  Poor little guy!

Thanks, ladies (and thanks, Cokt for saying he's so cute--I think so!) ?;-)

I'll call the pedi tomorrow. ?I have been trying all his favorite foods; I just feel like I need some guidance. ?:-(?
