Soft, but subtantial food such the chunky pieces of fruits/veggies (babyfood jars).  My daughter loved Cheerio's too.. mashed potatoes are good if you want to give him something besides babyfood..Be sure to wipe (with a cloth) or help him brush his teeth!

dear disamari13,\n\nthe main problem with canned foods in the past is the high salt content which may promote high blood pressure. however, recent consumer lobbying has made many food manufacturers reduce their salt concentration in their canned food lines. hence, it is important to always check the label on the can for the sodium (salt) concentration. As a rough guide, the maximum amounts of salt for babies and children are:\n\nless than 1g per day from 0-6 months, \n1g per day from 7-12 months, \n2g per day from 1-3 years, \n3g per day from 4-6 years, \n5g per day from 7-10 years, and \n6g a day from 11 years. \n\nbesides that, canned foods may have a reduced amount of vitamins due to the cooking process, but this loss is similar to that of normal cooking at home. so in short, canned foods that are low in salt can be nutritious (as long as there is no rust in the can!).\n\nbut i seems that your problem is more than just canned foods. what i recommend is for you to keep all 'junk' foods in a place where your 4 y.o. cannot access or reach, and only offer these to him as a TREAT on special occasions, but not as a regular food source. it sounds like he has been having too much junk foods during the day and by dinner time his appetite is lost. if you do this consistently, then he will soon regain his appetite for healthy foods during dinner. resist the urge to offer him junk food when he throws a tantrum (which will no doubt occur during the first few days), but stick to your guns! for general good health, avoid or reduce fatty, salty or sugary food.\n\nbest wishes and hope this helps,\ndr carter \n\nps. for your interest, i have included some key information form credible site for your perusal. enjoy.

why? thats an odd question....add more tryptophan to his diet it will make him more lethargic....thats all i can think of..besides melatonin which you can buy..chocolate, bananas,chickpeas, oats, dates, milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, meat, turkey, chicken, sesame, fish and peanuts all contain tryptophan

i have it. i have to take nexium for it...any acidy fruits like lemons, oranges, cherries, kiwis, are terrible. grapes, bananas, pears, apples(red) are good for it. pop and fruit juices are not that great. veggies are good, they are bland. but tomatoes are nt too good for it. and make sure he doesnt eat after 6 pm because since he has this it means that he doesnt digest as quickly as you and it will just sit there in his esophogas and he will be miserable......genler100@yahoo.com if u nd to know anything else...i feel for him...i go through this everyday.

Cheese, milk- all dairy products basically. High Calorie drinks, juices, cereals- you get stuff specially for gaining weight at pharmacies. Wolf down chocolate cake!!...Peanut butter, peanuts, raisins, almonds in honey, brown rice, bananas..Dont stop exercising though. Just walk for a bit, and religiously have milk every night before bed. Good Luck!

the truth is everybody is different. u would have to experiment it for yourself. \nexample:\nmy son can not eat just a milk based product for a snack. his blood sugar will go low as if he didn't have anything for a snack at all.  other people with diabetes (such as his father) can have it for a snack and its ok their blood sugar is fine as if they had ate a granola bar or crackers.\nits weird but true, if my son wants ice cream for a snack then he has to eat another source of starch with it.\nremember that extreme HI's are always followed by extreme LOW's . this is true in people without diabetes also.

I would see a nutritionist about this.  I would think their should be a high protein soy formula out there.  I hope he is not allergic to that.  Good luck.  Are you feeding him jarred food yet.  If he really likes your milk you can puree fresh veggies and add your milk to it to give him more calories.  Have you tried that.\n\nI made my son's baby food.  All you have to do is steam the veggies and put them in a food processor to puree.  You can do a lot at one time and freeze them in ice cube trays or baby jars.  You can also use the first years small containers.  The breast milk might make him eat more of it.  Just mix it in.  I hope this helps some.

Milkshakes would do fine<you could even make them up yourself and put extra ice-cream.  Also there are other drinks you can buy in a pharmacy and their called "Ensures".  They come in all different flavours and they are equivilent to a 4course meal!

Try giving him some soda such as 7UP or ginger ale at room temperature -- tell him to sip, not gulp.  If his stomach pains continue, or he develops vomiting, etc. give him Pedialyte or Gatorade to replace his electrolytes.  Soda crackers are a good idea too.

I had my tonsils out when I was 10.  Ice cream is okay, but it's really creamy and kind of thick in the throat.  Sherbet is better.  Popsicles are really good too. Applesauce, pudding.  If you're worried about the weight just give them a lot of ice cream and pudding for a couple of days. As they start to get better, try giving them some jello first and see how it goes down since it is a semi-solid.  You don't want to try with an actual solid and have them be in pain.  It's not as bad as you hear.  Good luck.

Carbs.  Although he needs some he is obviously getting a bit too much.  These include, chips, pretzels, bread, cereals, sugars, including beer and regular pop, corn, potatoes, junk food in general, and if he is eating a lot of fruits...they have natural sugars in them.\nHere's a link\nhttp://www.endocrineweb.com/diabetes/treatment.html

Wow I don't know if I should tell you this... Get her on nutritional supplements as soon as possible. My sister's boy was the same way... he won't eat anything until he is ready to pass out from hunger and he is really not well behaved. He gets violent at the drop of a hat. He has no control over his anger whatsoever, he will most likely be kicked out of school this year (he is ten now) for bashing his classmate over the head with a heavy object, he has to take anti-psychotic medication just to act (somewhat) normal. He is a bright and funny kid, he just can't control himself at all. You should seek professional help, and I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Best of luck.

Both answers above are correct. Before I elaborate, I must emphasise that brushing and a sensible diet are MORE important. Flossing will not make up for a sugary diet of sweet drinks.\nAs soon as he gets both baby molars at about the age of 3, then you can start flossing between them for him. Don't worry about all the teeth, just the molars. The pre-cut floss on plastic handles are easy to use. \nWhen he's about 6-7 he might be able to use it himself. Also, he will get his 1st adult molars thru at this time behind the baby molars, and this is a very important area to floss.\nThe molars are always the most important area because of their broad contact areas between each other. Hence lots of plaque buildup is possible.

Put him some water in anything small you can find like a 20oz soda cap lid or a small jar lid so he has water, Give him something to eat like a cracker or some nuts...really anything will hold him over for a few days until you can get what he needs. If you have him in some kind of container give him some toilet paper, or paper towel..newspaper also works great so he can tear it up and make a bed out of it. Empty toilet paper rolls also work great for the mice to chew on and play in. They aren't very hard to take care of, but do need a few things.

Why does it need to be a milkshake??? Why not just eat the tuna and drink the milk. It's all just protein anyway. You don't have to smash it all together into a disgusting glop. Would you scrape your dinner into the blender and then drink it?  Just find out which foods are high in protein and eat with your teeth, not through a straw.

A good Vitamin supplement would help a lot especially for kids who hate eating... Try giving him Jungamals vitamins...\n\nwww.knoldsky.mypharmanex.com
