Re: Appetite Stimulation suggestions PLEASE!

Hi Crosbysmommy's Dad

I hope we can help.

I haven't hear of any of those things.

For my son, we used periactin (cyproheptadine). It helped him

quite, a bit. What we would do is give him his periactin about an

hour before each meal and then let him eat while he watched his

favorite videos. Often, we would sit with him and feed him

ourselves.

We would often sneak calories into his food by adding kayro

syrup to his gogurt, or butter and cream to his scrambled eggs.

Sometimes we would add a little oil to some of his foods too.

Some people also add powdered milk to some of the foods.

Also, ask your doctor or nutritionist about polycose. It is a

flavorless powder that can be added to foods and help boost

calories. Again, some people have success using the instant

breakfast drink or energy boosters. Careful, some of these are

too high in protein for small children.

Now he is doing well enough that we do not have to resort to

some of these things.

I hope this helps.

Hi Matt. You need to tell to email or call me. Tell her to

take it easy and not to worry too much until you all see Dr. H. She

will help point you in the right direction or give you some advice on

what to do. I don't have any suggestions to offer you. Isn't Crosby

on Periactin? Dr H may be able to tweak that for you a little and see

what happens. Is Mimi on it? She may need to be. I am so sorry to

hear that is so stressed. I would love to talk if she is up

for it. I don't know what her schedule is like, so tell her to give me

a ring if she wants. Give her my best and tell her I am thinking about

her.

Take care,

Jodi R.
