calorically dense toddler snacks?
Anyone have any tips for calorie-dense toddler snacks? My 15 month old
daughter isn't gaining weight well and I need some ideas. She only has four teeth (incisors only!) which I think is why some things, like cheese cubes, tend to go into her mouth for a while and come back out as a softened glob after being mouthed for a while instead of actually swallowed. She enjoys pretzels and raisins and fruits and beans... but she's gone from 45th %ile to 7th %ile for weight over her last four well baby visits and I've been instructed to up her calorie intake....She always has eaten well at mealtimes but it's snacking I'm focusing on, as she tends toward the lower calorie things at snacktime (fruits, pretzels and so forth). Packable items are also needed... thanks, h. -- hillary israeli vmd http://www.hillary.net "uber vaccae in quattuor partes divisum est." not-so-newly minted veterinarian-at-large |

They sell it with the baloney and ham in your supermarket. It is delicious. If you didn't know it was liver, you'd like it. I know I do. When I tell people what it is, they get grossed out, but they never try it. I'm tempted not to tell them. It's so good. Also, it's very soft, perfect for kids with no teeth. |

Didn't mean anything by it...I guess I have to learn to expand my horizons a lil bit! |

I absolutely cannot eat liver as it is normally prepared (I gag on the texture and taste) but I love liverwurst. I especially like it spread on toast but it is so fattening I rarely eat it. -- Brigitte aa #2145 edd #3 February 15, 2004 http://www.babiesonline.com/babies/j/joshuaandkaterina/ "Readers are plentiful; thinkers are rare." ~ Harriet Martineau |
