I know we are having a bad spell as Little Miss Sweet Tooth doesn't even want cake!!!

 

[Mum2b_Claire]

we've just had a bad spell also. Tonight's dinner is the first she's eaten properly in about a week.

But yeah, we know Ruby isn't feeling good when she refuses cake or biscuits!

It is brutal here just now Claire. The croup really seems to have knocked her appetite. I know she would eat if hungry but I find it hard to remind myself that when she takes 1 bite, tidies her plate away and says, 'ta, all done'!

ahhh it is hard when they're like that but as I know you already know, as long as she's getting fluids then thats the main thing and her appetite will return.

probably with a vengence and you'll not be able to stop her eating.

always hard to keep it in perspective when its happening to our own LO's though isnt it.I sit worrying SO much when my LO is ill and off food

Oh totally, no matter what you know in theory about 'they'll eat when they're hungry', it's so hard when they don't. On those days I am grateful for yoghurts and milk because then at least I know she's not got an empty tummy (which doesn't make anyone feel great.)

Emma has much nicer manners than Ruby! She's more likely to say 'don't like it, don't want it, mummy eat it' if she is a bit 'off'!

oh bless ya yer we in same boat no where near a centile line lol never has been Mckenzie now 7.84kg taking so long to put weight on lol We haven't switched to cows milk cos he is on prescription high calorie milk we have made lollies with his milk too. Was Eamon small at birth? Mckenzie was 4lb 7oz so doctor referred us to hospital twice and each time he has been discharged the third time we asked for him to be referred to dietitian instead so they r keeping an eye on his weight gain but they want to change his milk but they can't till he weighs 8kg lol which will prob be a month or so until he gets there. Have they referred Eamon to dietitian cos they may be able to help with high calorie food ideas?? A favorite for us is Avocado!! Hope this helps

Yes Eamon was 5lb 3oz born at 39 weeks, so small We are thinking of going to higher calorie milk too, we have a specialist's appt. in a month's time and will bring it up then. He only has two teeth at 15 months so it makes eating hard work for him as it is. It's hard when CHNs and dr's think you must be starving the kid, and other people comment on how he's still on formula at 15 months, blah blah blah. If I had a choice he would be on cow's milk and weigh more than 17lb ffs do these people think I do these things on purpose without medical advice

 

[sleeping bubs]

Mckenzie was born at 39wks too did they know Eamon was going to be small?? They found out Mckenzie was at 36wks

I am really lucky that I go c lovely hv (never meet mine lol different area) who know Mckenzie knows what he eats and how active he is sometimes they are amazed that he has put any weight on cos he is constantly on the go lol.

Any comments made about Mckenzie's milk I reply well he is on prescription high calorie milk so he needs to have 2 or more bottles a day to help him put weight on.... They do shut up lol


Hope the appointment goes well I don't know what high calorie milk they have where you are but in UK there is two types for Mckenzie size SMA high energy and Intrinal (spelling lol)

She had a bad day for food today (not that she wouldn't eat, but we went out to a zoo park and were out most of the day, which we hadn't expected, so had to get her something there). I am not happy with her food today, not at all!

Breastfeed.
B - Rice crispies and whole milk; banana.
Snack - Oat bar; milk.
L - A few breaded chicken nuggets and a couple of fat chips; apple juice (this is the meal I am not happy with really).
Snack - Lick or 10 of daddy's yummy fudge icecream, plus the bottom or the cone, plus a few licks of my calipo; biscuit.
D - Left over beef casserole and asparagus from night before; 2 yoghurts.
Breastfeed.

Overall her food today lacked variety, but was also quite similar to what she had yesterday which I am not keen on. I am also not that happy with what she had for lunch. But tomorrow is another day to make up for it!

Today Ellis has consumed:

B: Rice Crispies with sliced banana, ate some and drank the milk out!
S: Tangerine

Finally a bit of a better day. As you say, you know it is okay really when they are refusing but it does really stress me out.
