Poor little dude is NOT interested in FOOD. He looks at it with such disgust! There are very few things that he will even allow near his mouth, which include, and ARE limited to the following: flour tortillas, yogurt, cheese, pinto beans, and mashed up bananas. Really, it is a hit and a miss.
He does not like any sort of 100% juice, but will drink an occasional bottle of Gatorade and definitely will chug down his formula. (Thankfully!) He is still at his current weight of 21-pounds, so I guess we are not doing too bad.
To date, he has vomited 4 times, and each of those times was while or after he finished a meal/bottle.
I read, and I truly believe that cancer children should not be limited to what they eat. If they want a banana split for brekkie - hey, go for it. Calories first, nutrition second. The after effects, and bad forming habits can be fixed later! I am willing to feed him candy and cake if it will make him happy - to an extent, that is. : )
