There's a 2.5 years old girl. She's almost underweight., Hovering over the yellow line in the pink book. She still wants to breastfeed. She eats a couple mouthful. Then she starts to keep the food inside her mouth. For hours sometimes. Until she falls asleep sometimes.

Her mother, also has a small body, and doesn't eat sometimes as well. Not sure of this is genetic or not. The father is normal chubby bodied. The grandfather on mother side is also small bodied. The other grandparents are normal I guess.

The girl is active, can communicate, can speak some words, and starting to strong words together. She just doesn't wants to eat a lot. Either 3 times a day, or several times a day, she doesn't eat much. Currently on lysine+vitamin C, but it's still not enough weight gain according to doctors.

I'm trying to Google this situation, but I could not figure the keywords for this situation.

I would like to have help with the girl situation.

Doctor said, take lysine, then eat more.

Don't force eat, and let her be hungry naturally? I'll try that. What about the breastfeeding, let it be, or force stop it?

Already weaned. Can eat solid food. Still wants to breastfeed, especially to sleep.
