He is tall for his age, 42 inches to be exact. His diet is quite balanced in that he likes many vegetables, fruit, and some meat, but no bread. He does eat noodles.
After one of these episodes, his appetite diminishes for quite some time then the big appetite will return and fuel another growth spurt. Usually when I measure him he will have grown 1/2" to 1" in about 6 weeks to 2 months.
He always grows alot after one of the episodes.
His father (my son) is wanting to restrict his eating because he thinks this is abnormal. I say as long as he grows and does not become overweight, the amount of the healthy food he eats should not be restricted. Is it an old wives tale that one can stunt a young child's growth by them not getting an adequate amount of food(calories and nutrition)?
