HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if no abnormality is detected the it is nothing to worry, second if the child is playful then also it is nothing to worry as long as the food intake is concern, child eats according to needs but most of the time parents feels that child is not eating properly and losing the weight, hope this information helps.
