Progress

We are getting there with the little man, Monday we had a follow up with our Doctor in Franklin for the ear issue.

Note- Bentlee has been on whole foods for the past 2 weeks now. No rice, No dairy (exception to formula-however diluted)

When we got there, she had said she could already see some improvement, and sure enough after getting an exam on his ear, and nose he is clean from infections and clean from being sick. Hallelujah!!

For me it was the greatest news, like winning the lottery or something major like that. After what I have been through with him, doctors after doctors, antibiotics, and crankiness, etc.

No parent wants their child sick, it is the worst to see your child sick and especially at such a young age.

As far as foods go, we have been taste testing with different vegetables and fruits.

Here is a typical menu:

Breakfast: Avocado blended with a banana and some oatmeal- (dairy free, wheat free, gluten free) Sometimes he will eat some scrambled eggs (good to get eggs from farmers market or whole foods store). Blended in also - a tip of a teaspoon of his vitamins (probiotics for kids)

Lunch: a vegetable- and some fruit and half of a cup of goats milk mixed with one scoop formula (eventually weening him off of the formula and strictly on the goats milk)

Dinner: typically 2 vegetables with some fruits for dessert

For vegetables we have taken as far as steaming broccoli steaming squash and zucchini, he also loves sweet potatoes with cinnamon. He will eat carrots with a touch of cinnamon as well. Most all vegetables i add a little butter (REAL-only ever REAL butter) If you are interested in butter i have read that grass fed butter is the best for us, especially babies, however pricey.


Fruits, he will eat any fruit you give him, but honestly what kid wouldn't. He loves apples, we boil apples, mash them up, and blend with some cinnamon and it is actually so good, I eat some of his food, it is really good. (LOL)

I do believe whatever method you choose for your child when they reach the age to eat (food) start out with vegetables, if some start out with fruit they tend not to like the greens which is essential to them. Sometimes my son won't eat a fruit, he loves his veggies that is for sure.

Even though it has been only 2 weeks of whole foods, i can tell that he likes it more than the Gerber foods. He actually eats more of it. It has been a somewhat difficult transition but all in all, as long as whole foods is what he sticks with from here on out, it will get better and better.

I do a lot of research on this stuff. I believe i have done more research with my son that i ever did as a scholar. Him being healthy and secure is all that matters in my life, I could spend all day at the Whole Foods market, not only for him but for myself. It is good really good stuff and it sure does do the body wonders.

Above i mentioned Goats milk, if you ever get a chance check out the reasons on goats milk and the great things it has to offer,
