food for a sick baby
« on: March 14, 2006, 19:39:49 pm »
Xavier is sick :( and not eating, except for fruit.  I think I'll make him some alphabet soup tonight with chicken broth.  Does anyone have any sick baby recipes?  What do you feed your baby when they're sick?

When Sophia is sick I give her only things that are easy to digest, i.e. rice, angel hair soup. Don't worry if he doesn't eat much (at least not for a couple of days). He will make up for calories lost when he feels better, which I hope will be very soon  :)

I only just read this today so I hope that Xavier is better by now and has his appetite back.  My son is 2yo and just got over a stomach bug that lasted about a week.  He had a very weak appetite for quite a few days after this.  I kept offering him water throughout to stop him getting dehydrated.  At first he just had dry toast cut up small, then with a very light spread of margerine.  I try and offer things that are light on the stomach, avoid rich and dairy food and small portions more frequently.  Sorry not terribly helpful, but I hope your lo is already better.   :)
