My daughter was just like this, active and not too into food but would eat. She nursed until she was 2. She had huge red cheeks at this age. It seems she showed side effects of the Cortef very easily. We switched to dosing 3 times a day (from twice) this helped a lot. then we switched to 4 times a day and she started growing and gaining weight very nicely. good luck. check out the archives under "circadium rhythm" for more infor on this dosing method.
