Hi- I have 2 children. My son is 3 years old and he weighs 26 lbs, and my daughter is 16 months old and she weights 18 lbs. Neither of my children were premies or had any other feeding problems at all. But the main thing is that they HATE to eat! I have tried all different kinds of foods and textures and tastes. But its like every single bite that goes into their mouths has to be forced or bribed with candy or something! Thats the only way I can get them to eat anything. Their pediatrician is not too concerned as we are south asians and generally small boned and petite people. However, I feel that they are just not gaining weight and now feeding times are just dreadful times for me. I will admit that they both like to eat fruits so I try to feed them a lot of that. But other than that there is nothing that they will eat with certainty. I do add butter, oil, etc to whatever they eat and I give them whole milk of course. My younger one refuses to drink Pediasure or Carnation, although I can get my older one to drink (with force) about 8 ounces of Pediasure and/or Carnation a day. Sometimes if I'm lucky they will eat avocados. But the bottom line is, there are just not getting enough calories in to gain any weight! Its so frustrating and to be honest I feel like my kids are sickly looking because they are so skinny. Any suggestions??
