The road we follow to gain weight...

As we begin week 3 of Jace’s blenderized diet, I realized that he was beginning to lose precious weight that he just cannot afford to lose at the end of week 2. It is nevertheless shocking that whole foods cannot battle the high fructose corn syrup that his previous diet was filled with.  A simple boost in some extra calories will hopefully do the trick. I plunged into finally blending up an avocado into his dinners along with toddler meat sticks and was given the suggestion of trying out carnation instant breakfast for some extra calories plus other boosts such as olive oil. Added bonus: saying goodbye to overnight feeds! That may seem like a small inconvenience to overcome,  however; overnight feeds have led to less inconsistent sleeping patterns, waking up to his pump beeping (low battery), the connection tube becoming disconnected which resulted in milk everywhere, middle of the night baths to clean up Jace, changing his bedding and having to get him back to bed. Although it happened only every once in a while, that is just one more worry that is just unnecessary…who eats when they sleep?
