When my son was a baby he was allergic to formula, everyone available was tried but still he kept getting sick. He was 5 mo. old and still sick from any formula he was given. I started giving him whole milk and cereal and he was able to keep it down and started gaining weight. However, no matter what baby food I would give him, with the exception of tootie fruitie, he would spit it out. No matter what foods I prepared for him he would spit it out. He refused to eat food regardless of how it was prepared or what it was. At the age of 2 my babysitter called me excited that he had ate a chicken nugget, first food ever to eat. I just knew it was a beginning to him actually eating food, as his Doc kept saying he would out grow it. The second food was cheese pizza, then french frys. These are the main foods he eats until this day at age 14. I have to admit I finally gave into it after trying numerous things the Doc's suggested. One being, when he was 6, just put food in front of him, breakfast, lunch and dinner, if he does not eat it then so be it. I did do this for 8 days and he would not eat. I did give him juice, water, milk but with no food on his stomach after 8 days he started throwing up the fluids and also lost weight, he was not over weight at age 6. I did not like that he was getting so sick so of course I fed him what he would eat. He does take a vitamin daily. I am concerned about his health due to the foods that he eats. My friends and family have given me a hard time about this. I need to do something to help him. He is overweight now but not morbidly obese. He is 5'8' and about 180lbs. His Dad and Uncle are both 6'3" with the potential to be as big as 285 but as small as 195. Until this day when I take him to his pediatrician, he states it is not good for his health but shruges his shoulders as though it is no big deal. I am going to take him to another pediatrician, however he has been to one all his life and all I ever heard is he will outgrow it or his vitals are all good. Any help would be appreciated.
