Hi,

Thanks for writing to health care magic.
I can understand your concern.

If a child is not eating solids for 2 months it cannot be normal and he needs to be examined. Eating pattern cannot be the same on a day to day basis. A child may eat more on certain days and bit less on few days. But not eating for such a long time cannot be normal and he needs to be examined to arrive at a diagnosis.

Continue to ask further queries as required.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
