Being happy doesnt mean that everything is perfect.

It means that you have decided to look beyond the imperfections...

Dietician happy with Ellies diet

"I am happy with how she is going" ... Never thought I would hear those words about Ellies eating habbits.

Yes... she still eats small amounts
Yes... she still eats pureed food
No... she never shows excitment for food

However... she is having 3 small meals a day, and 3 bottles. She is starting to tolerate and somewhat enjoy meal times. Our dietician thought this was huge progress. Plus Ellie is starting her dinners with small amounts of savoury dishes, such as potato bake, bolognaise, risotto, vegies, caseroles etc... This is huge improvement from not so long ago where all she would eat was custard.

So... her tips for me, was to try and introduce more meat into Ellies diet at dinner time. So until her meat intake increases, Ellie will stay on the formula as this is giving her everything she needs, plus iron.

Ellies weight is still hovering about 6.9kgs, as for most of the last week she has been vomiting on and off... she isnt sick. Just vomitting... This has now stopped, so finger crossed we can break the 7kg barrier again
