Off to the Nutritionist

Sept 13 2007

After a concern at Jameson's nine month check-up and a follow-up two weeks later we were sent to the nutritionist to find out why our little guy had fallen off the growth chart with his weight.

Well today we went to the Nutritionist to see what was going on with him and he was great!!

First off she read what he had eaten for the past 10 days and was extremely impressed with the food that we have chosen to feed him...which consists of meats, cheese, grains, and lots and lots of fruits and vegetables!

All we need to do now is get some extra calories in here or there by mixing his oatmeal with milk or using a little butter or oil on his veggies. This visit actually made me feel good about what we have decided to do with our son when so many people aren't supportive or tell us that it is too much work!

NOTE FROM EDITOR: We also have a few more suggestions on our blog if you need to get extra calories into your little one: High Calorie Baby Foods

Great Job
by: Debbie

Sounds like you had a good visit with the nutrionist in september. Jameson looks graet and it sounds like he is having a fun time eating all of the great foods you are feeding him.

It is sad sometimes when people feel the need to give you their opinion where it isn't needed. We get that a lot too. As parents, you do the best you can for your child and that is the most important thing. So keep doing what you are doing and your child will benefit from your hard work.
Take care,
Debbie

Good for you!

That's excellent news, Erin.

It can be quite scary when your baby's weight doesn't fall within the 'norm' - but Jameson is clearly having a wonderful variety of healthy foods and you are doing a great job!

Another way to boost his calorie intake would be to include avocado in his diet (if you haven't done so already). It's a great source of healthy fats.

Other good calorie boosters are cooked egg yolk, wheat germ and cheese (a cream cheese dip for veggies is often a hit!).

As for people telling you that making your own baby food is 'too much work' - well, judging by the happy smile on Jameson's face from your highchair picture - I'd say it's worth every minute!
