[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SIL had the worst time getting her incredibly skinny DS to eat when he was 7, 8, 9. The only thing he liked was....bacon.

She used to buy precooked bacon at Costco by the ton. He ate a pound a day. Nuked it himself.

He's 19 now and a strapping college freshman in perfect health. Seriously, ladies. Unclench.[/quote]
This is how my toddler started eating crap. He was a tiny, skinny baby who would barely eat. At 3 he has started to eat better but I'll probably be that mom sending in the pbj, gogurt etc. I'll probably buy it from whole foods to make myself feel better but really, it's not different. [/quote]

I've got a skinny kid I bend over backwards to feed.  The thing is, if you load him up on sugar, he's not getting the proper nutrients so he isn't growing anyway.  We do a lot of bacon (nitrate-free from WF).  The key is to figure out what he'll eat and try to find the healthiest option from there.  Our kids loves chicken noodle soup, so I make big pots of it and add tons of olive oil for extra fat.  For yogurt, we get the full fat, grass fed milk kind.  Instead of PB&J, I do almond butter on wheat bread.  Like all kids, he loves chips, so I buy organic, non-gmo corn tortilla chips and give him salsa or hummus to dip them in.  [/quote]
