Re: Nutriiveda Day 1

I would use more oz. of milk than 4oz, that way, the NV isn't that strong in it

and it's easier to swallow. I usually fill up a sippy cup per one scoop of NV.

Just a suggestion.

Subject: [ ] Nutriiveda Day 1

 

Okay, I got my Nutriiveda today. I ordered the vanilla because I thought it

would be easier to " disguise " in food. So first I tried it in milk to see if

Spencer would drink it. I put one scoop in 4 ozs. of milk because it said a

serving size is 8 ozs. and two scoops. My son is 3, so I am going by the

guidelines that say a scoop per day. Anyway, Spencer drank a few sips of the

" milkshake " as I called it then said he was done. My daughter bel (typically

developing) drank a few sips also. I have to admit it didn't taste that great

mixed in milk. Then I put half a scoop in chocolate pudding (Kozy Shack brand)

and Spencer took about 3 or 4 big bites, which I thought was pretty good. My

other kids loved the pudding and ate the rest of it up, no problem. I think

Spencer is smart enough to suspect that something is " up " LOL. He is NOT a kid

who easily goes along with what you WANT him to do. So I probably got about 1/4

to 1/2 a scoop in him today, which isn't bad for the first day, I guess.

It is funny because he was NOT a picky eater until age 3. Before that, he was my

good eater-he would eat Indian and Thai food and all sorts of things. His twin

Truman was the one who was very picky. Now Truman is doing better and will eat

most of his dinner (if he knows he will get dessert!) while Spencer oftens picks

at dinner and sometimes will eat absolutely nothing for dinner. Spencer is a

very healthy weight and height so I have never really worried about this, but

his twin brother is a little pea who weighs 26 lbs. soaking wet at 3 years. So

it is just funny that Spencer is now my picky one.

I am going to try a milkshake tomorrow. Any other ideas? Again, he is a kid who

KNOWS if you are trying to pull one over on him, so I know it will be hard to

get the stuff into him every day.
