My little one is having tummy issues and to boot she has already been in the er due to her intestines getting stuck in her umbilical hernia that was due to straining when trying to go number two. I told the doctor her diet pretty much is made of fiber. Maybe not enogh water?
Diet breakdown (we are pretty consistant and eat the same rotation of foods. I dont think you need variety to be healthy.)
- 2/3 cup of oats (so 1.3 cups when cooked) with applesauce (i stopped applesauce thinking that could cause issues), 2 dates, 1/4 cup raisons or a whole banana (cut the banana out now too)
- Jam sandwich with a veggie like carrots or green beans and a banana (have not been consistant sith cutting out banana during lunch)
- pre-nap or pre-dinner to hold her over is 8oz of almond milk or hemp milk....I made the mistake of giving her sweetened almond milk and now she wont take my homemade hemp milk, even with a teaspoon of cane sugar. I might have to up the sugar and the. Slowly decrease it to what I would prefer her to have.
- whole potato (the small 100 cal ones) or half a sweet potato with green beans, brocoli or carrots and black beans.
She eats more starcg than veggies, I dont overload the veggies because to me providing more energy (calories) is more important since she is growing.
Anyway, any tweaks that might help? Is a full banana too much for her little body? If so, what can I use in place? Sometimes instead of a jam (very thin layer) I do an avocado or bean spread sandwich. I would LOVE to add in nut butters but am a little hesitant to...is 15 months too early for that?
I am also thinking that the bread may be the issue? Just because it is not homemade and is store bought? I cut almond milk out for a week thinking it was that but no luck. Suggestions would help. Thank you!
