So we met with the nutritionist last week, and she gave some good suggestions of foods to feed the young Finn so he gains a little weight. I've been trying, but like all children, he has been resistant to anything that mommy would like for him. I am to aim to get 900 calories in Finn per day (how I'm to keep track is beyond me, but I'm doing my best.) Anyway, here is a fun comparison list of what it is recommonded Finn eat, and what he actually does.
Reccomondations: What he actually preffers:
1. breastmilk in a cup mixed with cream -breastmilk the standard way
2. whole milk, mixed with cream -chocolate milk with cream. or water
3.avacado, guacamole -lemons
4.ritz crackers or shortbread cookies -pretzles
5. pudding made with whole milk and cream -he actually gobbles this up!!!!
6.yougert mixed with butter and cereal -we do okay on this one too!!!
7.cream cheese w/cheese sandwiches -just bread, not even with butter
8. pancakes or french toast W/extra yoke -toaster waffles
9. scrambeled eggs made w/ extra yoke -he does not like eggs, and I think they make him sick
so as you can see, it is a bit challenging, but I think the few fatty things he eats are good, I just hope its enough to gain some weight I guess I just have to keep trying the new foods, and hide the nonfatty ones so he doesn't know he has an option. At least Liam can stand to gain some weight too, so they can both eat high calorie together.
