I know when i talk to Noah dietition today she is going to ask me if

i think we should keep going the whole milk route. I know he is not

getting in as many cals as he was when he was on ensure plus, but

that was easy 3 cans and he had more then enough cals. But he

hardley ate any solid food. 4 ozs cups of yogurt was it. wouldn't

even touch fruit snacks. Now that he is on whole milk he is eating

solids. He is taking in about 900 cals right now we have only been

at this for a little over a week. I am assuming it will take time for

him to adjust and be able to take in more and more cals. I am

thinking of asking her for duocal to add to his milk and yogurt. I

have tried giving him ensure plus as a snack at nite but he just

sspits it back in to the cup and say milk. So he knows now that,

that is not milk. He used to say it was his milk. I just feel kind

of bad trying to stick to this knowing he is getting in less cals

then with ensure plus, but i really want him to start eating table

foods more. I know if we could get him back on ensure plus somehow

he would stop eating table foods again. OH what is a mother to do.

Try Carnation Instant Breakfast and see how it affects what Noah eats. I

do not know how it compares to Ensure either price wise or calorie wise

but we add it to her whole milk to add in additional calories. My guess

is that it is cheaper than Ensure and it definately adds some good

calories. This is the only thing Emma will drink and she's a real fatty

(around 30 pounds).

I hope this helps.

I have thought about that, but just the other day i tried giving him

some nestle quik in his milk and he absolutly refuesed to drink it.

I used to love both products and so does my dd. I am going to run

out to the store later after i talk to his dietition. I figure if he

doesn't drink it my dd will so atleast it won't go to waste. I keep

reminding myself that at 18 i was under the 3% and they couln'd find

anything wrong with me. I was just a small kid. So i uess it is in

the genes. lol
