A new problem... calorically dense toddler snacks?

That would be our normal dinner type food around here yeah, it sounded a bit like it, but just thought i'd say it ;-) she's been doing this thing for the past three days where she takes food into her mouth, chews it for a while, and spits it out. She's really just not eating very much and I'm at my wits' end. Now, she's still urinating and defecating so I know she is eating "enough" to function. But she's definitely eating less than half the amount per day she was eating before the cold. I'm not sure how to handle this. Thoughts on this one?? Is there any reason to think she might have allergies? I wondered this the other day, because someone else was talking about allergies making a young child basically refuse food because of the strange/unpleasant feelings in their mouth/throat/etc. I'm not sure what to suggest, otherwise. She won't drink something like Pediasure or similar, will she? Dawn |

Maybe she has a sore throat? If it hurts to swallow, perhaps she's just avoiding doing it. If I'm right about this, just be patient and keep offering. When she feels better she'll eat as usual--maybe more. The sore throat makes sense. Warm soup might be easier, or cold ice cream. Hunter lost his appetite for about 2 weeks after any cold or illness. It always came back on its own. He was big though so I didn't have to figure out a way to hurry him along :-( Good luck to you guys! If it's a sore throat, is she ready for popsicle-like things? Real ones have aspartame, but you could make your own and avoid that. Irene |

I"ll keep it in mind. *I'm not sure what to suggest, otherwise. *She won't drink something like Pediasure or similar, will she? Well, she drank about 4 oz of orange juice (calcium fortified ) today, so that's something. I have a just-back-from-the-store carton of chocolate milk to try, too. -- hillary israeli vmd http://www.hillary.net "uber vaccae in quattuor partes divisum est." not-so-newly minted veterinarian-at-large |

Phoebe That's what I get for not putting in my usual disclaimer! I thought it was aspartame, but there is definitely something in the sugar-free ones, and I don't remember seeing the non-sugar-free ones. BTW, are you in the US or the UK? At first I thought you were in the UK, I'm not sure why, but then the thread about being an EA made me wonder... Irene |
