My son just turned 12. He has always been underweight. My husband and I both were little when we were kids. My husband is 5'5" and weighs 150. I am 5'2" and weigh 145. So, I know my son is going to be small. But, he is so much smaller than ALL the boys in his grade. I am sorry I do not know his weight right now, but I think it's around 80 pounds. My question is how do I get him to put on weight? He does not eat anything but spaghetti, chicken patty sandwiches (plain), hamburger helper (1 kind only), peanut butter & jelly sandwiches. He loves sweets. Cereal and chocolate. He snacks on cereal all day and night (no milk). I try to get him to eat more foods. He will eat a hamburger (plain). He does not like any condiments or sauces. He doesn't eat mayo, ketchup, mustard, ranch, etc. I am scared about his nutrition because he is so frail looking and I know this age is a building block for adulthood. He does not like ANY veggies. He will eat apples and pears.
Help!
