Samuel has never liked to eat. Drink? Yes!! Eat? NO!! Unless he's eating cookies :)
This week, I'm going to try something different. I'm going to have a few different foods for him to choose from. This morning I tried it and it went, hmmm, well, better. He still pushed my hand away, which is something I'm trying to teach him NOT to do.
His choices this morning were blueberry greek yogurt, granola bar, graham cracker and his drink (almond milk). I started with the greek yogurt, he ate most of it (half a cup). He got tired of that so I offered him graham cracker. He got tired of that and saw his brother with a drink, so I gave him his drink and in between sips I offered him the granola bar. So, all in all he ate half a cup of greek yogurt, one little stick of graham cracker, half a granola bar and ALL of his drink. Not bad, considering usually I can only get about 3 bites down him before he starts fighting.

ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
I think you did great with him this morning. How long did all this take?
ReplyDeletedoes he like fruit? i keep bags in the freezer of chopped fruit and a few cubes of frozen yogurt so i can make smoothies faster/easier. i haven't tried it, but there are lots of veggies you can sneak in there that don't taste bad. that way he is getting some of the nutrients he needs in a drink. good luck!
ReplyDelete@Mom That took about an hour.
ReplyDelete@Amy He likes fruit. I haven't tried smoothies. I don't know if he could "drink" it, he may could spoon eat it. I'll have to ponder that. Thanks for the suggestion!
