Mine!
J has never ever been a good eater. When he was small I was so freaked out about it but he's a light eater at 3 now.
He's always been on his own curve (30th percentile weight, 70th height). But he was never the kid that wolfed down his meals.

@Meridian: my LO was like that... It got to the point where she wouldn't eat awake AT ALL... We had to feed her asleep from 3-11 months. I honestly thought she would need feeding therapy, and that she would be delayed in the feeding area forever. But she's a great eater now!

We eventually figured out she was MSPI.

@Meridian: at 11 months, she finally started drinking her bottles awake. That was amazing!

She was also verrrrry slow to start with solids--she just had an aversion to anything going in her mouth while awake, I guess. I assume she associated it with tummy pains. But a couple of weeks after she turned 1, a flip just switched and she started eating a ton of food, and all kinds of food.

On her birthday, she basically refused to eat anything but orange slices all day (in terms of solids), and two weeks later she was devouring an entire salmon fillet, with broccoli and green beans as a side.

She started out at 50% for weight...in her non eating days, fell to 27% for weight, and ever since her 1 year appointment, has hovered around 45% for weight at every appointment.
