Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hey , We never used anything like corn syrup because of the sugar content. We were told to use Polycose to add calories. Talk to you soon! Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi , We added Kayro syrup to 's food when he was younger. Not much though because if food gets too sweet it would make him feel full. You might want to contact a nutritionist and ask if you can get Polycose. It is a tasteless calorie booster. I hope this helps. Ken M > > Hi all-- > > Just me again wondering if I should add corn syrup to 's baby food > to boost the calories.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Is already on a high calorie formula? Powders and corn syrup are sources of carbohydrates. Our Dr. had us use a 30cal/oz formula before we added things to our daughter's regular formula. By using a complete source of nutrition at a higher calorie density, her calories were well rounded between sources of carbs, proteins and fat. I believe there are other families whose doctors recommended adding cream or half and half as well.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi Dayna - No.. is just on breast milk. I walked past the high calorie formulas today and considered picking one up... but didn't. I haven't added anything to her baby food yet. But starting tomorrow I will keep a record of how many calories she gets. I'll have to guess at the breast milk.. I'm not sure exactly how much she gets. The best thing I have found that contains lots of calories is breast milk and baby cereal... that's almost 200 calories a bowl! She loves that stuff.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 If you have a nutritionist check with her/him. If not concentrate on high calorie baby food choices. I actually have a couple of cans of Duocal leftover from when we used them with Alyssa if you or anyone else is interested.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi guys, My daughter Chloe was on neosure by similac it's 22 calories plus our dr had us make her bottles into 28 calories by increasing the amount of powder. She's never been big on formula so since she has a twin brother I switched her to his (Similac Advance) still making it with a higher calorie. She drinks this alot better and it didn't affect her weight. She is still growing slowly but surely. I'm better of with baby food with high calories with her. She loves to eat but still doesn't like formula much. Everyday is so different. One day she'll drink 5 4 oz bottles and other days it seems like she'll only drink half of a four oz bottle. And then some days she'll want a 6 oz bottle. But she always eats her food. Also we are going to an encronologist (wrong spelling sorry) to test her bone age and to see if she should seek growth hormone treatments. I'm very nervous and anxious. I'm curious to any side effects of growth hormone or if I should even condiser it. She is 9 months old 4 weeks ago she weighed 10 lb 8.9 oz so I'm guessing she is at about 11 lbs we'll found out tomorrow. Her birth weigh was 2 lb 10 oz. I was also curious to know which dr do I ask about periactin and polycose. Would that be her reflux dr? If anyone has advise let me know thanks.
