What to feed a 1 yr old?

[LeneSouthAfrica]

i'm not a toddler but recently i gained quite a bit of weight by eating baby cereal with spoons of full cream milk powder stirred in, and tea/hot chocolate with cream in every day (remember to take lots of enzymes with this or he's gonna suffer). Dairy doesn't agree with everyone and isn't supposed to be great for mucus, but sometimes gaining weight is more important.

My 16 month old is super super picky. We have no "go-to" food, you know the kind that she will eat each and every time I offer it. UGGH, so frustrating. But things that are usually a hit...

She LOVES the salty flavor of all soups. I buy canned soups and strain them to just a little fluid and the rest all the noodles, pasta, rice and soft meats and veggies. Then I add butter and parmasean cheese. or cream. Or DuoCal powder. Sometimes she'll eat a whole bowl and wham that is a ton of calories. But even if she only gets in a few bites, they are some seriously high cal bites!!!

Peanut butter on toast or even just on a spoon.

Grilled cheese, lots of butter and cheese.

Macaroni and cheese.

Ice cream is a big hit around here, and I buy the high test kind that is all heavy cream and sugar.

Good luck, its not fun to deal with a picky eater that can't gain weight. I'm right there with you!!!

I give my two year old oatmeal every mornining with lots of heavy cream. I also give him the yobaby yogurt. It's made ith whole milk and some of them are even made with baby cereal. He has really been gaining since i started giving him that. He also eats lots of pasta with cheese or sauce. He doesn't like peanutbutter, but loves icecream. He especially loves those dibs. The chocolate covered icecream bites. I put them in a little cup and he eats them like crazy. It's such a hard age. They can be so picky. Good luck!

DS had texture issues at that age -- no toast, no bread, no ground beef, no chunks... so I was STILL feeding him baby food mac & cheese (stage 2), fruit and oatmeal with pears. Otherwise he acted like he had a hairball. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> He LOVED spagettios and I could get smaller cans with a pop top for travel. He did like mac & cheese at that time (hates it now). Ditto on the yo baby. Carnation instant breakfast (creamy milk) made with one package of powder, 3 cups milk and an ounce of cream -- nowdays he drinks fully leaded Carnation instant breakfast.

I could also get him to eat canned chicken and dumplings, chicken ala king as long as I removed any big chunks. He ate ham patties -- we'd just hand him one and he'd gnaw on it. Hotdog -- sliced length-wise into strips. Around that time we also introduced him to mcdonalds -- and he wouldn't touch the bread, but he'd eat a plain hamburger patty.

I just remember going on vacation and him eating spagettios for lunch and dinner -- every single meal.
