Does your kiddo need extra calories? Let me know below I started @kids.eat.in.color because my kiddo was falling off the growth chart. He wasn't eating enough calories....so I made tiny high-calorie lunches for him to take to school. ⠀
~⠀
At home we added calories to EVERYTHING we could. We would add:⠀
* avocado oil (because it's pretty tasteless)⠀
* ground nuts⠀
* nut or seed butter⠀
* coconut oil (because it tastes yummy)⠀
* olive oil (if it worked in recipes like pasta dishes)⠀
* grass-fed butter⠀
* full fat dairy products like cream, cream cheese, sour cream, yogurt, greek yogurt, whole milk, etc.⠀
~⠀
I added sweeteners here, because sometimes a touch of sweetness can make a dish more palatable and your kiddo can eat more of it. At the same time, you don't want to feed kids a ton of sugar...so use your best judgement. I liberalized sweeteners a bit for my kiddo. ⠀
~⠀
How do you know your kiddo needs a calorie boost? Your pediatrician will be all over you regarding growth and may be recommending calorie supplements. I always try food first! ⠀

Did you know I started @kids.eat.in.color? Because my son flat lined on the growth chart and I got into kid's nutrition. Yeah, and my pediatrician recommended Pediasure. While Pediasure has legitimate medical uses, I usually recommend trying food first. I'm talking about the 3 things I did to help my little one gain weight in my stories right now.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
A banana shake was a big part of my strategy. I have more kids eating strategies in my free guide in my bio @kids.eat.in.color⠀⠀
⠀⠀
BANANA MILKSHAKE RECIPE⠀⠀
2 large bananas⠀⠀
1.5 cups whole milk (grassfed)⠀⠀
1/4 cup natural peanut butter⠀⠀
- blend in blender. Makes 24 oz (three 8-oz portions).⠀⠀

You know, when the pediatrician tells you your kid isn't growing, it's hard not to feel like a failure. I felt SOOOOO bad when this happened to me, especially because "but I'm a dietitian!" ♀️⠀
⠀
But that's how it goes. Problems come up with all kids. It's not because we're failures. They just happen. To all moms. ⠀
Our pediatricians recommended pediasure for M. I wasn't too excited about that. It's a medical drink! So it's good in some cases, but food is usually the best first option. I'm explaining in my stories exactly what I did instead (put it in my highlights too). ⠀
⠀
A banana milkshake and pediasure are not the same. A banana milkshake is not a "medical food". But it was one of the things that has kept M on his growth curve. And SO much cheaper, more natural, and still has SO many nutrients. Here's the recipe:⠀
⠀
2 large bananas⠀
1.5 cups whole milk⠀
1/4 cup natural peanut butter⠀
⠀
- blend in blender. Makes about 24 oz (or three 8-oz portions). ⠀
⠀
Of course, you know me. I don't actually measure stuff. My real recipe is more like:⠀
⠀
2 bananas⠀
pour some milk⠀
glob in 2 biggest globs I could get on the knife⠀
⠀
Do you measure stuff for recipes?⠀

"If one dream should fall and break into a thousand pieces, never be afraid to pick one of those pieces up and begin again." On Instagram, it's easy to paint a picture perfect version of yourself, especially as a studygrammer. But you know what, that's not reality. Life is not perfect. Contrary to what some may believe, I am NOT a straight A student. Full transparency here. I ended my first year of college with a 2.69 GPA. Yup, you read that right. After I got my grades, I felt miserable and hopeless about my dreams of becoming a physician. But that didn't stop me from continuing to pursue my dreams. I picked myself back up and studied relentlessly. It wasn't a steady climb. There were some ups and downs. In the end, I'm proud to have finished my last semester in college with a 4.0 GPA. Keep going. Don't give up. Stay relentless. Pick yourself up and work harder and stronger. YOU CAN DO IT. Believe in yourself and make it happen.
There was a point in emilys life when she was considered “failure to thrive.” Her Heart was burning calories faster than she could gain. She lost the sparkle in her eyes and i saw my baby slowly whither away. She never even hit a percentage on any growth chart because she was so malnourished.
2 years later with the help of her dietician Jennifer and OF COURSE repairing her heart THREE times, my baby is THRIVING! We even are switching her from whole milk to 2%!!!!! My sweet little tubby lumpkins! Mommy loves you! Thank you jennifer for helping to get our girl to her goal weight!

It’s okay to FAIL
:
The key is to fail forward. To keep going. You can fail over and over again but all it takes is that one breakthrough to make magic happen
:
Stop beating yourself up if you’ve failed. Pick yourself back up and keep going

Runty McGillicuddy Update
Runty lives! Runty's siblings have been out of their eggs for four days now. It took Runty a couple more. I wasn't sure little Runty was going to make it (in fact, I thought we'd lost the little runt almost every time I checked in). Well, this is Runty today. Should we make a full video documenting little Runty's progress?

You’re fearful because you’re about to step outside of your comfort zone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’re hanging out right on the edge…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And that’s where the magic is!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When you start to frame fears in this way you see them as an opportunity for growth rather than something to avoid and obsess over.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you stay inside your comfort zone you don’t learn anything new about yourself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You don’t find out if you can handle a new situation, a new experience or a challenge if you are paralysed by that fear.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’ll never know unless you try!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel like I’m hanging out right on the edge all of the time! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Literally… when you choose the path of growth you had better get used to feeling scared! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Instead of imagining the worst, imagine the best outcome. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How will you feel knowing you’ve conquered something you were afraid of? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Like a superhero, right?!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Even just venturing into that new territory is an achievement in itself…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t worry about the rest!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Is there something you want to go after and it’s pretty far out of your comfort zone? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t let an invisible barrier stop you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nobody else can see that barrier but you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And only you can get past it and redefine where it sits.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because when you choose to live at your edge - your comfort zone stretches and grows.

Went and saw GI today. Louis is losing weight again. ☹️ he’s 42inches and 30lbs. They said after hip surgery if he’s not back on his curve we’ll talk g-tube to keep his weight up. We are headed to Boston children’s on Monday for an evaluation about his hips. #lifeafternicu #cerebralpalsy #hydrocephalus #failuretothrive
