Is your LO putting good weight? So long he happy and is growing constantly and you have provided him with nutriention meal you need not to be worried. Skipping dinner at times is fine. You may want to consider giving him a cup of milk or light snacks before his bed time. Do try to find out if he has this problem in school? It is best to find out with the teachers if he is eating well. work hand in hand with the teachers

How much is he eating for each meal?Personally, I feel that as long as he is having sufficient and well balanced meals, then there is no need to be too worried about the number of meals he is having. Another way is gauge would be that he is still full of energy and active while awake, and not showing signs of lethargy. Also, not falling ill frequently is a good indicator that he is healthy and growing well. Hence, there will be no need to be too worried. Getting enough rest is important as well. :)
