Finally, an eater!
It has been quite a struggle getting Katherine to eat. There have been days that I have been in tears at the end of a meal. It does not help that I put pressure on myself bcause I know she needs to eat more to gain weight.
This week she has been doing much better and today was a great eating day. For breakfast she finished off one jar of Earth’s Best Apple Oatmeal Yogurt, 1/4 of a bagel and 1/4 of a banana. She went to Mother’s Day Out today. I usually send twice as much food as I think she will eat so that they have a lot of options if she is being picky. When I picked her up, they said that she ate every single thing I sent. This included a large jar of Chicken Vegetable Soup, a jar of peas, applesauce, peaches, and 1/4 bagel. When we got home, she had the rest of her banana from lunch. For dinner she ate a full serving of homemade casserole consisting of carrot, onion, tomato, cheese and lentil, cottage cheese, cheese toast and peaches. This is the first time I have been able to get her to eat cheese! When I was eating dinner she had another snack of whole grain crackers and some of my pancake.
Let’s hope that this was not just an odd day, but a start of a huge growth spurt! Now, I need to keep working on her drinking milk. She still would rather play with her sippy cup than drink out of it.
