[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that's the opposite of the advice most dieticians would give. I would see a professional with expertise in this area. We did the Ellyn Satter approach with 3 kids, one of whom had major food issues. My healthy kids could go to the fridge or cupboard by 5 and prepare a snack. My kid with feeding issues also had major motor skills issues, and used a wheelchair, so I continued to prepare food for him. If you want to do unlimited snacking, what about preparing a bento box or something, that he can just take from the fridge and eat from. I think most kids who take packed lunch to daycare can open a bento box, and choose from there by about 3. That way you can also make sure to include more balanced foods, and higher calorie items.[/quote] OP here. We did. We consult with a pediatric nutritionist. Our plan may change at our next appointment, depending on weight gain. Love the bento box idea. Thanks.[/quote]
