If u have a scale check his weight ...looking lean doesn't mean he is loosing weight .we parents are more concerned with chubbiness rather than our baby s health ....usually child develops fussy eating by 1 year ....and also independence ...you have to allow the child to decide his food and also quantity..make a specific meal time and stick to it ...dont give ,if he doesn't want to eat ...no body can go hungry....just that child will have physiological anorexia (less appetite ) because of less growth in this time ....
