My sweet baby angel was born three months preemie and was extremely picky in her eating, even up to age four. I was scared to death she would be malnourished, she just wouldn't her fruits and veggies. I mean, how far will chicken nuggets, Fruit Loops and peanut butter & Jelly sandwiches carry a developing child? But she's almost seven now, growing like a weed and eating everything she is offered, lots of healthy stuff.
Just because one child is eating more than another and getting bigger, in and of itself, is to be expected in human variation.
But I know your fear and just keep trying new foods and I am sure you'll see adequate growth and development. Take him to a pediatrician for advice and counseling if only to ease your mind, Pinky.
