Ryan is and always has been a slow grower - average 3oz weight gain a week and below the 0.4th centile (bottom) line on the new growth charts, so we see consultants every few months and have just seen a dietician today who has strongly advised a high calorie diet for at least the next 6 weeks to see if he will jump up a centile or two.
We've just started weaning this week as he's 6 months on wednesday, just some porridge, bits of fruit and some veggies so far but all my weaning recipe books are mostly veggies and the dietician said this isn't really suitable for Ryan as he needs lots of full fat dairy products and meat/ fish as soon as possible. We have to aim to be having 3 full meals a day with puddings in the next fortnight!
So I was wondering if anyone else is in a similar situation and if so do you have any good meal ideas as I'm struggling for main meals - the puddings are pretty easy!
