I hope you can help me here.
My son just turned 12months on the 15th of March. He really hasn't been a very good eater since starting him on solids at 6 months.
He has a hard time with coarse and textured foods and it seems that if anything too large gets in his mouth it gets caught in his throat and then he vomits everything. This happens ALOT...
I have had to just continue him on the baby food jars...tonight I pureed carrots, mashed potatoes and a little piece of fish...he hardly ate anything.
He is only 17.5lbs...
I dont know what to do to get him to eat....
I am SICK of the baby food jars...and when he does eat, he'll only take maybe 4 or 5 spoonfuls...but he loves his milk and the pediatrician told me I was giving him too much milk..
I am weaning him off breastmilk (he takes it from a bottle) so I have been giving 1/w b.milk and 1/2 whole milk and I think what was happening was he was drinking too much milk before meals and getting full...so today I kept his milk away and he ate well at breakfast but then at dinner he ate poorly.
Am I doing anything wrong?
Has anyone else had this problem?
The pediatrician told me to try supplementing him with PediaSure--has anyone used that?
Please any encouragement that my child is NOT a failure to thrive child ...please???...
Thank you.
Sue.
