Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Hmmm..Ken, you might want to keep an eye on him. I might be concerned about him going that long without any nutrition, so you might want to give him a snack before he sleeps (with cornstarch?). I worry about sometimes having lower energy than his friends. Sometimes when gets so tired that he conks out at school, it means that he is about to get an cold or ear infection. We think doesn't get enough sleep (About 11 hours total) and find that he eats more when he is rested. Katy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 19, 2001 Report Share Posted March 19, 2001 Hi Katy and Sue, Thanks. Typically, finishes dinner a little after 7 and then it time to brush his teeth and off to bed by 7:30. He usually eats pretty good. I think Sue maybe on to something with the low iron. he takes a liquid vitamin but we need a liquid vitamin mineral supplement. he won't eat any of the chewables like Flintstones etc. 's new nutritionist gave us one and spit it out and then tried to wipe it off his tonge. The next time we tried it he refused to even open his mouth. So far his new nutritionist hasn't suggested an alternative. Sue, Thanks for the nutritionist's name. We worked with a woman at children's but she got pregnant with her 4th and quit. I'll bring it up with my wife. Ken M > Hmmm..Ken, you might want to keep an eye on him.
