What Does Weight Loss With Bowels Post A Meal Suggest?

My 20-month old grandson is very tiny. He weighs 21 lbs. He is active and doesn t look malnourished. When I keep him he has a bowel movement about an hour after each meal. His dad is 6 4 and his mom is 5 4 . Do I need to be concerned that he weighs so little and has bm s after a meal?

HELLO,
ITS GOOD NEWS THAT HE IS ACTIVE. MOST PROBABLY THERE WONT BE A PROBLEM
HE REQUIRES TO HAVE PROPER MONITORING OF GROWTH CHART WHENEVER HIS PEDIATRIC VISITS ARE DO.
CBC, STOOL R/E SHOULD BE DONE
VACCINATION STATUS REVIEW SHOULD BE DONE, TOO.
DIETRY HABBITS SHOULD ALSO BE WHOLESOME.

THANKS
