[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister has lost her mind. My 2yr old nephew is losing weight at an alarming weight because of her “healthy” eating obsession. He has a very restricted diet, minimal carbs, never had sugar, and no snacking is allowed. She read a book about how the French do not believe in snacking and their kids are better eaters so he can never have food outside of meal times. Fruit is considered a treat. He got a banana in his Christmas stocking and was allowed to eat the whole thing for the first time.

About 2 months ago he stopped breastfeeding and ever since he stopped he is looking malnourished. She will not be giving him any whole milk or milk substitutes. Heck she doesn’t even let him drink much water as she is trying to potty train. He can only have a small sip every 30mins.

He is constantly sick, but he doesn’t go to the doctor so he’s never had any weight checks. What happens with kids like this? What can I do? My mother has tried to approach it and she cut her off. [/quote]

What book? The French have an entire extra meal dedicated to a sweet afternoon snack.[/quote]

Probably French Kids Eat Everything which seems like a manual for creating disordered eating. Strict rules about eating isn't flexibility. [/quote]

Or Bringing Up Bebe which I thought had reasonable observations on minimizing snacks between meals so your kids are actually hungry and will eat the healthy dinner you prepared, rather than a bunch of crap.   Most American kids do snack on processed food like crazy.  It's not like they are working on farms where they need to be eating constantly.

Of the OP's post, I  agreed with the sister on snacks, everything else sounded crazy/dangerous for a 2 yo.[/quote]
Yeah I loved bringing up Bebe. Definitely doesn’t advocate for starving your kid or never snacking, and in fact suggests a daily snack every afternoon plus desserts. Even includes a few easy cake recipes![/quote]
