Sure your cd is feeling mega pressure to EAT - I would go see your ped for a referral to a specialist but in the meantime I would try the opposite tactic. Sit down for a meal - put food in front of him and then completely ignore the eating. Talk to your husband, tease your dc, but no begging him to eat.
