RE: babyfood and scandishake questions

[Guest guest]

I think that at her age you should be nursing her before you give her

babyfood. In other words, nurse as much as she wants to first, then sit

her in the high chair with food. This way the food isn't replacing the

valuable nursing sessions.

I posted a list a few days ago with some high-calorie foods we used

early on, like avocado slices, oatmeal with flax seed oil added, and

cheese or whole milk yogurt (we also do homemade yogurt made from half

and half). I know you're supposed to stay away from dairy until one

year, but both my kids, who don't tolerate cow's milk, did fine with it

in yogurt form. Cheese also, being an aged form of milk, doesn't cause

as many problems as cow's milk itself. You could try a very small amount

of yogurt and watch for any reaction over the next few days, to see if

she will tolerate it.

You could mix the scandishakes with rice milk.

We like to add flax seed oil or olive oil to whatever eats that it

" works " in.

How is she doing on the charts? When was she diagnosed? My son was

nursing mostly, ate very few solids, at diagnosis at 10 months. He was

also tiny -- below the 5th percentile for height and weight. He still

nursed before eating and breastmilk comprised 80-90% of his diet until

he was 15 or 16 months old, and he gained at a rate that we were happy

with. He's now 26 months and has passed the 50th percentile! :-)

Good luck! I am sure others will have some great calorie suggestions.

And congratulations on continuing to nurse your daughter through all

this.

babyfood and scandishake questions

Hi everyone,

I have an 8 month old daughter that I am trying to make gain weight. She

drinks mostly breastmilk and I also give her babyfood mixed with cereal.

I

asked her dietician and the only thing she recomended doing was adding

formula to the breastmilk and to continue to add cereal to her babyfood.

I

think Kennedy is actually losing out on fat and calories by eating

babyfood.

A jar of babyfood has about 25 calories and 0 or 1 grams of fat. 1/2

serving

of baby cereal has 30 calories and 1/4 of a gram of fat. She eats this

in

place of one breastfeeding session. I am assuming she drinks ATLEAST 5

ounces of breatmilk, which would be 100 calories. Do you see what I am

saying? Is she to young for me to be adding other things to her

babyfood....like butter?? Can someone give me some ideas of things to

add to

babyfood either now or in the next few months to add fat and calories?

Also, we just switched enzymes. She used to take plain ultrase, and

would

get them for free along with ADEK's. Now she is taking ultrase MT12's

and

they sent us free scandishakes. I am assuming that she is too young to

drink

these as they are suppose to be mixed with milk. Is there something else

I

can mix the scandishakes with or should I wait until she starts drinking

regular milk?

Thank you in advance for any replies......

Kennedy was diagnosed at 3 months of age. At that time she was at 5% for

weight. She made it up to the 50th percentile and at her clinic visit 2

weeks ago fell back down to about 25%. We are not sure why she fell off the

growth curve. She has been sick alot lately. She went from having a cold for

3 weeks to having pneunomia and now she has had another cold for about a

week now. The doc also upped her enzymes from 2 plain ultrase capsules to 1

ultrase MT12. He did this because her BMs were large and frequent, not

necessarily because they were greasy.

As for the breastfeeding, I think that it is very important and have no

intention of stoping. Unfortunately, I cannot keep up with her. She eats

every 2 hours. I was hoping to introduce a little more food to her diet to

give myself a break. I think the avocados are an excellent idea. I will have

to mash them up because she is not ready for slices or pieces of anything.

What exactly is flax seed oil and where can I buy some??

Thanks for your input!

formula to the breastmilk and to continue to add cereal to her babyfood. I

think Kennedy is actually losing out on fat and calories by eating babyfood.

A jar of babyfood has about 25 calories and 0 or 1 grams of fat. 1/2 serving

of baby cereal has 30 calories and 1/4 of a gram of fat. She eats this in

place of one breastfeeding session. I am assuming she drinks ATLEAST 5

ounces of breatmilk, which would be 100 calories. Do you see what I am

saying? Is she to young for me to be adding other things to her

babyfood....like butter?? Can someone give me some ideas of things to add to

babyfood either now or in the next few months to add fat and calories?

Also, we just switched enzymes. She used to take plain ultrase, and would

get them for free along with ADEK's. Now she is taking ultrase MT12's and

they sent us free scandishakes. I am assuming that she is too young to drink

these as they are suppose to be mixed with milk. Is there something else I

can mix the scandishakes with or should I wait until she starts drinking

regular milk?

Thank you in advance for any replies......

My son is 5 and a half months, and loves baby food. We were told by our

dietician, to add 1 tsp melted butter to each jar of food, and we were also

told this be my first son's dietician, 4 years ago. I have been doing it a

week, and see no change in his stool. He seems to be handling it great, as

did my first son. I also add baby cereal to the food. I add butter to

cereal, fruit, and veggies. And will add to meat in a few months, when we

start meat.

I agree with . Get in as much breastmilk as possible. I will share a

suggestion that was made to me when Mycah was a baby. Torsten, you may want to

turn your head while I say this. Mash the avocado and mix it with breastmilk.

Being sick always seems to interfere with growth for Jake. It sounds

like the enzyme increase will probably also help.

Flax seed oil is just that -- oil from flax seeds. It is available at

health food stores. It's pretty expensive, and I started using it

because it contains the plant forms of omega-3s, alpha-linolenic acid,

or LNA. I guess there is some question as to whether the body can

actually convert LNA to DHA...so I'm not sure 100% if there is benefit.

We still use it because it works for us. I save money by using it only

with breakfast foods and then use olive oil for other times.

mama to , 2yo, wCF and alpha-1

and to , 4 yo, w/alpha-1 but no CF

RE: babyfood and scandishake questions

,

Kennedy was diagnosed at 3 months of age. At that time she was at 5% for

weight. She made it up to the 50th percentile and at her clinic visit 2

weeks ago fell back down to about 25%. We are not sure why she fell off

the

growth curve. She has been sick alot lately. She went from having a cold

for

3 weeks to having pneunomia and now she has had another cold for about a

week now. The doc also upped her enzymes from 2 plain ultrase capsules

to 1

ultrase MT12. He did this because her BMs were large and frequent, not

necessarily because they were greasy.

As for the breastfeeding, I think that it is very important and have no

intention of stoping. Unfortunately, I cannot keep up with her. She eats

every 2 hours. I was hoping to introduce a little more food to her diet

to

give myself a break. I think the avocados are an excellent idea. I will

have

to mash them up because she is not ready for slices or pieces of

anything.

What exactly is flax seed oil and where can I buy some??

Thanks for your input!

Hve you tried giving her table food? When Yolo was 9 months old I was

finally able to quit b/fing her. She went from me to a sippy cup drinking

peptamin JR. Anyways that's neither here nor there. Maybe see if she likes

actual mashed potatoes, then add butter and all that stuff to it. Mashed up

mac & cheese was a favorite of hers, you can use expressed milk to thin it

out. SOrry I'm not much help. These are little things that I found worked

for us.

Hi Holly,

Sorry I'm running a bit late answering mail, but life at our place has been

somewhat crazy recently.....

I was definitely adding butter to Sian's baby food by 8 months. I was also

feeding her cooked milk products (homemade yoghurt made with scalded milk

etc.) Now, I also made my own baby food, so that was an easy way to add

fat. Sian was eating meat at about 7 months, so she was getting a fair

amount of fat that way. (Homemade chicken stock without the fat taken off,

pureed with roasted meat and vegetables, with lots of extra salt. Happy CF

baby!)

Hope that helps.

feeding her cooked milk products (homemade yoghurt made with scalded milk

etc.) Now, I also made my own baby food, so that was an easy way to add

fat. Sian was eating meat at about 7 months, so she was getting a fair

amount of fat that way. (Homemade chicken stock without the fat taken off,

pureed with roasted meat and vegetables, with lots of extra salt. Happy CF

baby!)

Hope that helps.
