Re: Re: Question about Meals/Snacks

[Guest guest]

I feel for you because I know when Im feeding Austin and hes eating these

stomach turning meals (to me anyway) and hes eating them without a problem I

think about the parents that have trouble getting their children to eat it

(understandably so). The diet is hard enough to get use to but to have the

added stress of your child not wanting to eat has to be stressful at times.

Hang in there, you'll find something that she likes for snack and just stick

with it. Good Luck!..........Tammy

I asked the dietician if we could split a meal

and let her have a morning snack. She said to give it a try... it

worked!! So her routine is... meal, snack (1/2 meal), meal, snack,

meal.

Cammie, not to question what you said because obviously you are alot more

experienced at this than I am....but from what you said, isnt that just

splitting up the way you feed her? Thats different from COMBINING snacks which

is how I took the question. I would think combining snacks would not be a good

idea. but like you said, everyone's child is different and so are the

dieticians.....Tammy

Giving 1/2 a meal is a lot different than giving a meal PLUS a snack at

the same time. Think about it...... if you give a snack with the meal,

you are raising calories.... and this raises carbohydrates. That's the

risk. If you give too many carbohydrates, the body thinks....Great, no

need to burn fat for energy, I have enough carbs. This is the danger

zone.
