Dear XXXXXXX

I can surely help with these. If you are looking for consultation, you can take my appointment. But before that I would like to know some details of birth history, feeding history and illness history.

In my experience common reasons for weakness in otherwise normal two year old are
1. Milk dominant feeds
2. Hidden illness
3. food allergy or malabsorption.

Please write back...
