Hello Nancy,
Someone has to examine this child for this markedly enlarged abdomen you're describing, as well as the itching.
It could be some simple gaseous distension, but it could also result from an internal organ enlargement or ascites. The itching could also be related.
As for this child's feeding habits, I wouldn't be concerned as this is a common complaint at this age with trials at weaning.
