ABSTRACT
CASE 3.1 – My 2-year-old son is not gaining weight. A 2-year-old boy was on the 25th centile at birth; his weight is now on the 0.4th centile. On visiting the child’s home, the health visitor notes that the members of the family eat separately, with no regular mealtimes. The child drinks 10-15 cups of orange squash per day. Food is put in front of him, but he refuses to eat after two to three mouthfuls.
