Feeding suggestions please and some questions

[Guest guest]

Hi!

We are waiting on a diagnosis on our wee man.

He is just about 10 mths old and was 11lb 6oz a couple of weeks ago

and 62cm tall.

We had a visit to a dietician and we need to be feeding him some

more fats and protein.

I am still breastfeeding (which she acknowledged but sort of brushed

it aside).

I need some suggestions of what to feed him re: the fats and

proteins.

I will not give him meat and am not keen to put butter and margarine

in his meals.

I won't give him dairy products as some of his older siblings have

had severe dairy allergies.

I was thinking goatsmilk and goats yogurt. Maybe goat cheese as well.

Also tofu. Have tried him with lentils bit he is not keen but will

keep giving him small tastes and hopefully he will get used to it.

I am lucky that he does eat and eat lots. Mostly brown rice cereal

cooked up with dried figs (has sorted his constipation out) and any

other fruits (But I keep away from apples)and will eat kumara (like

a sweet potato) with pumpkin and silverbeet/spinach added. He also

likes muesli fruit sticks to snack on, stewed pears/prunes and he

ate some banana for me the other day. He also enjoys a biscuit if

the other kids are eating or a crust of bread or suck on a cracker.

He doesn't have any teeth or any sign of teeth yet.

It takes a while for him to get used to something but once he is

used to it he is happy to eat.

Some questions:

Are RSS children late to get teeth?

He has slept through a few nights this week and I'm worried about

the possibility of hypoglycemia. I just spoke to the pead and she

said it would only be a problem if he didn't have anything for

tea!!!! But on reading postings here it seems to be a big problem

with some kids. Is there any way to know without testing his

ketones? What should I look out for?

We are waiting for chromosome tests to come back and it seems that

is will be a few months before we are seen by a geneticist. They are

taking photos of Cajun to send through to the geneticist to get an

idea if it is RSS or not.

Anyway..any help or ideas would be great.

Thanks
