My poor Ds has lost so much weight.

[nellyjelly]

We have all had the flu in our house. DS is 2.5 and pretty much hasn't eaten for around 4 days. He still has a bottle of formula ( thank goodness) twice a day and has been having that plus the odd yoghurt and piece of toast. His appetite is coming back but honestly he looks like a little skinned rabbit! His bones are all sticking out. I am sure he would be on CP register if Social workers saw him!

Any ideas to build him up? Should I take him to the docs?

Poor little fella .... try getting him a tonic from the chemist they help improve their appitite always worked for mine .Its minedex tonic for kids hope he feels better soon

Thanks.

What about easy to eat, high calorie things. I've been feeding my sick 1yo - pate, scrambled egg, mashed banana either on own or in Greek yoghurt, wafer thin ham, cheese, bagels with butter & cream cheese

Thanks for your ideas. He loves butter so toast is the way to go!
