Hi all,
My daughter has been 0% on weight charts since 3 months old. She was at 10% at birth and dropped and never came back up.
The kid is now 7 and 38 pounds. We cant get her weight up. To complicate things she now issues with her teeth since she didn’t get the nutrition needed at age 2 for teeth growth. We can’t give her sugary foods now.
We think it’s partly due to water and constipation and we are working on that aspect. She can’t eat a lot and just stops at 15 minutes or so.
I’m desperate to find some way to increase her appetite and find ways to get calorie density without sugar. Remember she’s 7 so I can’t force her to drink giant oatmeal smoothies.
Any help would be desperately appreciated. I know she’s underweight and believe me we’ve tried a lot. We are vegetarians so that is another constraint. She’s eaten meat before...no change really.
Any help would be appreciated for ideas of ways to stimulate appetite and get her system moving. Same with increasing calories. We did try adding oil a while back to all her yogurts etc and put in carnation instant breakfast. Unfortunately with the teeth, the carnation is now off limits due to sugar content.
This is very hard for me as well so please don’t make me feel any more bad than I already do, even if you are trying to be empathetic. It’s hard to realize you could have ruined someone’s life, let alone your own kid’s :(
Thanks for all the help on appetite and calories in advance
