My daughter is extremely picky and has severe reflux and avocado is one of the few things she has always tolerated. Everyone thinks she must not be fussy since she will eat avocado but it is one of the only things she will eat pretty regularly. The funny thing is she won't pick it up, doesn't like the texture, but I can feed it to her. Gosh the quirks of children.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915600.post-60615336890279831312007-12-05T21:41:00.000-05:002007-12-05T21:41:00.000-05:00Bille, your girls are adorable.

I freak out every time because I'm so scared they're going to want to put that feeing tube back in. It sucks, and we're doing OK as far as percentiles go.Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189007616883663434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915600.post-63983495274302778452007-12-04T22:11:00.000-05:002007-12-04T22:11:00.000-05:00Wow...i cannot believe how big they are getting!

I have stopped trying to feed her when she has a cold and give Anytime Breakfast (Carnation)with homo-milk she loves them and I am not panicked by her lack of intake. For Elizabeth teething is a huge problem with her reflux as well. It is good to hear that things are getting better on the eating front. As you know there are still lots of trying days but now there are a couple more good days too. Elizabeth will be 3 soon too and I am beginning to think that 3 will be the more challenging year as she is becoming quite sassy.BusyLizzyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09116803603107554804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915600.post-47306827611326909202007-12-04T15:01:00.000-05:002007-12-04T15:01:00.000-05:00Congratulations on this latest milestone!

He's almost 3.5. We used to give him 1 solutab (15 mg) of Prevacid per day and it wasn't helping much. Even though it's not recommended to give higher doze of Prevacid for kids under 50 lbs, our GI doc said he participated in study where they were giving higher Prevacid doze to kids and didn't see any sideeffect. We now give to my son 2 solutabs (15mg x 2= 30mg) of Prevacid per day (in the morning and in the evening). He's eating certainly better. <BR/>We however also give him Instant Breakfast strawberry with his milk. And he likes it too. We split one Instant Breakfast package b/n two bottles.<BR/>About Periaction. We used to give it to him. The thing is after a while it stopps working well as he gets used to it. So we would start the med and after effect is gone, stop it. Than start the med again and stop it. We dropped the Periaction completly now.<BR/><BR/>Your girls are doing really well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915600.post-50231395631226558692007-12-04T09:42:00.000-05:002007-12-04T09:42:00.000-05:00I adored this blog post.

I have recently found a new juice she loves though anf is packs on 300 calories a seving, it is called Enlive and Brooklyn loves it. They have apple and I think peach but the apple is working so I do not want to mess with a good thing! <BR/>Take Care!Brooklynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11930568366936897803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7915600.post-37250341349092522072007-12-04T08:09:00.000-05:002007-12-04T08:09:00.000-05:00It's so hard to believe that they are now 3 years ...It's so hard to believe that they are now 3 years adjusted! How quickly time flies!!<BR/><BR/>I am glad they are making progress with eating, I know that is a HUGE source of stress for you.

I so well know how horribly stressful it was on the days that we were afraid she wouldn't eat/drink enough to get hydrated for the day and we would be back in the ER. And how hard it was to watch her stop eating every time she got sick (which was about every month), worry that we were going to go back to the feeding tube, and have her lose the 1-2 pounds we had just spent months getting on her. In any event, I wanted to ask you what is probably a really stupid question -have you ever tried putting Carnation Instant Breakfast into their milk? I'm sure you have already thought of it, but in case you haven't, it has a ton of calories and a whole bunch of vitamins, and it makes it taste so good that they want to drink even more of it. Yes, probably a lot of sugar, too, but I never had the luxury of worrying about that. Anyway, just a thought.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
