As per your measurements his weight is just below the 10th percentile for his age. He may need to learn how to chew and swallow food. Some children just do not know how to do it and need to be taught. They need to learn how to chew and swallow food properly; it is not really an instinct behavior like sucking. Has he been evaluated on how to chew food? If not then suggest getting him evaluated by going to your MD and start therapy so he can start to eat regular food. In the meantime suggest giving Pediasure in place of milk at all meals/snacks in his sippy cup so he will have additional calories and protein. Hoped this helped you.
