Guest guest Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I was posting about this exact same thing last week. We could not even get half a scoop into my daughter and I have been trying for a week too. Today she had 3/4 of a scoop which is the most ever. I will tell you some things that have worked. I have looked for opportunities to sneak it in everywhere: in her milk, smoothies, apple juice, apple sauce, butter on raisin bread, mixed with jam on toast, and mixed with syrup on pancakes. When we started she would not even want 1/2 teaspoon. She would notice and stop eating. Now we have worked our way up to 1 teaspoon in each of the liquids and today I snuck in even more than that. I think some kids just take a while to adjust and I plan on this taking at least a few more weeks to be totally successful. Stick with it, I was so frustrated and ready to give up and just kept reading such great things which pushed me to continue. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 It sounds like you are having the type of difficulty we all want to hear and see in our children. How long on NV did it take to see all those improvements? > > I have been reading on this board for about a month and have started 2 EFA's a day for my almost 3 year old son with apraxia. We saw some improvement but not much. Then I have been trying to get him to take NV. I've tried chocoloate milk, the no bake cookies, syringing it, etc. Basically, he has maybe gotten half a scoop a day (on the optimistic side of things) for a week. It is a struggle and it takes some bribing to get it down. He has had diarrhea for two days now and I am not sure if it is related. Has anyone else had this problem? We have seen improvements in his imaginative play, more progress with potty training, and more approximations than before. His SLP was thrilled with how focused he was during therapy last week. So, I really want to give NV a complete try but am unsure of what to do at this point. Open for input... > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
