After much discussion and a few points to take into account :

a, Reece weighed in last night at 12.4 but this am at 12 k

b, It is his birthday tomorrow and were he not have TPN tonight he would have had to stay in hossy and we don't want him to wake up in there on his birthday.

C, He is very slim to say the least.


It has been decided that for the next week or maybe more he will have TPN one night a week. Antonino is not too concerned with him, he Say's that although he has lost he does not look  " hospital grey " or drawn. He also thinks we can get him to gain weight. He will be staying with us for for the next couple of weeks whilst we try and level him out and gain him some weight, grandmas know best see. At least I hope i do. You don't notice his weight loss until bath time or when you pick him up.

Anyway still happy times.

he's a fighter that kid, all the best to all the family. If you ever need tips on putting on weight feel free to ask Kev or myself we are guru's of pies.

[The_nun]

I don't need tips on weight, have u seen me. lol

[The_nun]

I am going to be trying different tactics to get him to eat so if any of you have any tips etc please feel free to post.

Go for the "You are not really allowed to eat this little man, but seeing as no one is looking, have some quick"


OR have him bake cakes or biscuits with you, if he has made them himself he will be itching to eat them

Keep um coming PLEASE....

The cake cupcake thing was one of the main ones we used on Jen when she was little, more of the mix would end up inside her before they even reached the oven.

Home made milkshakes are packed full of calories, Milk, a couple of bananas and a loads of Cornish ice cream all blended up. Yum!

[Dingdell]

Well if he doesn't put on weight I think we all will - that milkshake sounds delicious!

Good luck Maureen - you'll sweet talk him into it. x

lager and a vindaloo seem to have done me a treat

[The_nun]

The hardest thing is getting new things past his lips. He willl not touch potatos in any shape or form, last night i made Dinosaur feet from semi boiled spuds then roated then for max fat content....... nope. He doesn't even like chips.

Can't believe I'm agreeing with Kev, but reckon Jane really gets the credit anyway.  Having Reece help with the prep and cooking of things will definitely work!

Totally agree Laxie, Reece might not know what the food is, but if he's helped prepare it, then half the battle is won.

I'll keep the thinking cap on and see what tricks I can remember.

Keep um on , we tried the prep thing b4
