17 Month Boy eats constantly, doesn't gain weight or feel pain Posted: 11-13-07 14:37pm
My friends baby is 17 months old and he
will eat and eat he doesnt stop. he is the
same way with liquids. He gets very upset
if you take the food away from him. He
doesnt gain any weight, He eats more than
his older siblings. He eats his own fecal
matter repeatedly 5 times total. He has
eaten chalk repeatedly, And pebbles. He
doesnt seem to feel pain, he fell in an
antbed and just laid there, he didnt cry
he was covered in ant bites and just kinda
whimpered. Im really worried about him I
just dont think that this behavior is
normall. Thank you if you would respond
that would be great.

I wonder if he's got Prader-Willi
Syndrome?

That isn't normal. He needs to see a
neurologist.

Wow! Me three. That is the first thing I
thought of when I read this.What is his
muscle tone like? I would definitely get
him in.
