Ok. I could use some input, I suppose. Sir, my lo, is a tiny tot. I want to put some weight on him. In the morning, he wants boob. Since he no longer wants baby cereal, I've tried omelets, yogurt, pouches, cottage cheese with, farina, oatmeal and mini muffins. He has a bit of these things (although he totally turned down the mini muffins), and every now and again, eats a decent portion. At daycare, he eats his lunch and snacks, even wants seconds. My friend picks him up and he'll have a pouch and a half. He will eat snacks. Once I get home, he wants boob. I have no problem with giving him the liquid gold. I just want to put a good 4 - 7 pounds on him. I googled "how to fatten up a toddler" and with the exception of avocado and nut butter, it doesn't seem particularly healthy or organic. "Cook foods in oil", "Give him [hella] dairy".
I used to be skinny and so was my dad. I don't want my son hooked on Chef Boyardee (which his Godfather bought and he either eats some or eats some of the mystery meatballs). I know healthier eaters tend to be slimmer. How can I have my cake and eat it, too?
Hey. I'm experiencing the same thing with my little one she's 18 months turning 19 months this Saturday. She is still being breastfeed but also eats solid. We recently seen a nutritionist and she told me to try to make fruit shakes for her and offer it after a meal and put peanut butter in it (if they are not allergic), or try Nutella as well. And if you cook add a lil extra butter in the starchy foods. (Just some suggestions). Seeing that my daughter eats alot and isn't putting on as much weight, they want to do a thyroid test for her to see if that may be the reason. I had to curse a few people out because the minute they see my daughter they say "omg she's so light, do you feed her" 😑😑😑😑 all because my child isn't obese like theirs. I'm happy with my lil skinny mini.
Same here let me know....... My youngest he's small a d picky and same for my two year. The ones I breastfed seem to be smaller then the ones I didn't breastfed. Something about that gold milk makes their weight low and they tend to want to eat more healthy food etc...
The only thing I can think is maybe some protein of course to help just try to. I myself haven't gone through this as my lo is only 4 months but from the sound of it you are doing a fantastic job and are very health conscious he may just be a littler adorable boy. I hope something works though I can definitely see both sides! Lots of luck and well wishes!
Thanks, Moms!
I wasn't too concerned, but then I started getting paranoid....
I'll relax.
