What should i do? Shall i change the pediatrician. Does pediatrician give any tonics or medicines by which the baby can feel more hungry and eat more and become fat. My sons pediatrician says his weight is fine and healthy and does not need any thing else. Iam really worried about him. He is now not ready to eat atall, or he eats very less and drinks very less milk. He is fussy and teething.

If you will feel better go see another dr. What percentile is he in? Has been in the same percentile for the most part? Thoes are all good. Do not compair your child anyone elses. Everybaby is different and their size will depend on the parents and their size. My kids are both in the 5th percentile and so are my husband and I. While your baby is teething it is so hard to eat. Try and help the pain from teething to see if he eats better. Most kids do not walk until 12-18 months. So do not pay any attention to the other post. She was just trying to compair her children to yours. Just trust yourself if you feel like taking him in to see another dr then you should. It will not hurt anything to have him see someone else. Make sure when you see the doctor you tell him your concerns about he weight. He should really explain why/or why not to worry about it.

Either you are over reacting to your baby struggling with teething or your baby is seriously ill.
Try another doctor.
My babys were walking by time they were 10 months old.
Are you doing things to stiulate your son's mental and physical health? Talk to him.Take him to the park in a stroller.
Laugh with him. Lay on the floor and play with him. Put him in a walker so his legs become strong.
I definatly would see a new doctor. My son had a serious digestion problem and I took him to several doctors before it was diagnoised. He is fine now
