[quote=Anonymous]It seems to me there are two issues here:

1) Your DD not eating very much
2) Your DH's reaction (and to some extent, yours too)

For 1: Have you spoke with the pediatrician in regard to this specific issue? What exactly did they say, and did they provide a plan? My son is very small, he's actually about 35 pounds and almost 6. But his growth curve is normal so the doctor is not concerned. However, when he was younger, we visited a nutritionist about him gaining weight at the suggestion of the pediatrician. The nutritionist provided a lot of helpful suggestions, like: when offering a pancake, put butter and syrup on it. Or, put olive oil on vegetables. The goal is to have more calories per bite. Maybe something for you to look into.

For 2: I agree with some PP about counseling for you, the parents, on how to react better. The goal here is to create for your daughter a healthy relationship with food and have her grow and eat healthily. So maybe go into counseling to figure out how you guys can achieve that (the nutritionist may have some suggestions too).[/quote]
